- Saturday the 15th in Little Rock is a concert (6 local bands). For those still around in town and interested in catching a ride, ECC is pretty much organizing a carpooling plan.
- Upcoming rally probably as soon as more comes of the petition.
- LOTS and lots and lots of petitions were signed today. Four slots on each page and 20 or 25 pages were brought and signed today… I’m no math major, but that means more than 25 people signed up. Probably around 80-100.

- Finance Committee with Samantha Bode

- ResLife requested $1,700 – Motion to approve was then moved to table this proposal for the review of the new Senate.
