I. Call to Order
II. Special Business
- Election business. 43 eligible candidates so far. Debates are 7:00 pm on Sunday in SLTC Worsham.
- Any questions or concerns about elections? Ask Katherine Hunter.
- If you see anything shady going on with campaigning, let Katherine know. Such as posting inappropriate flyers or flooding/covering up areas that prevent others from using the space, etc.
- Non-time sensitive flyers (i.e. study abroad posters) usually stay up all year. Perhaps these can be taken down temporarily for elections?
- All candidates must pull their campaigning materials down before the Tuesday election.
- E-mail polls are open only from 9-5 on Tuesday, Feb. 23. Contact Katherine if you won’t be able to vote during this time—you can do absentee voting.
- A lot of folks are not familiar with automated run-offs. Please include in your notes encouragement to rank all candidates during voting.
- A list of the candidates will be made public. Attach them to your notes when we get the e-mail from Katherine.
III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns
- Special thanks to ComCom and Culinary Club for the successful Meet and Greet the Candidates event tonight!
- Sinks in the first floor bathroom in the SLTC are really really cold. Can we heat that up?
- Human vs. Zombies school-wide event similar to Assassins? The RAs host Assassins, so maybe talk with them if you want them to host it. Or else talk with another organization to help out.

Event Details: Jerseys are an essential part of any serious sport team. Both our men’s and women’s teams participate in the Southern College Division, and travel to an average of eight tournaments around the region every school year. Although Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee is a club team, we practice three to four times a week, with no off season. As a team and a student organization, we are proud of the fact that we are able to foster an inclusive community atmosphere, maintain a competitive level of play against other college teams, and even host our own annual tournament (The Hendrix Ultimate Experience). Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee will send three teams to the Sectionals Tournament in St. Louis, Missouri in April 2010. We believe that jerseys offer an irreplaceable sense of team unity and professionalism for our players.
Both orange and white jerseys are necessary because in tournament situations, teams must be prepared to “go white” if the opposing team’s jerseys are of the same color. We chose to order Patagonia jerseys this year for their quality and team discount ($17 per jersey, as opposed to the normal price of $38 per jersey). Illustrated Sportswear is a local printing organization with whom we are familiar and enjoy patronizing.
The Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee Council is requesting discretionary funding to cover the price of team jerseys. The 2009-2010 school year has brought out the largest number of players that our team has ever supported. As a result, costs for traveling to tournaments have exceeded our initial expectations. In three circumstances, we have had to send two men’s teams to tournaments in addition to our women’s team; again, this has unexpectedly stretched our budget.
Thank you for your continued support of Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee. Please contact President Meagan Kreps (krepsMN@hendrix.edu) or Treasurer Rose Thomson (thomsonRE@hendrix.edu) for additional information or questions.
