Agenda
Tuesday February 23, 2009
6:30 p.m. SLTC Worsham South.
I. Call to
Order
II. Special
Business
- Big Pulse e-mails were being marked spam because of
the large volume of e-mails. Sam Nichols was contacted and he directly
contacted Big Pulse. Miscommunication between Big Pulse and Sam however
presented some problems (Big Pulse changed their IP address without notifying
Sam).
- Basically, by now everyone should have received all of
their voting e-mails. Some “bouncing back” caused double e-mails. However,
per e-mail address, only one vote will be cast regardless of how many
e-mails you received.
- Polls will be open until 5:00 pm tomorrow night.
- Over 600 people have voted within three hours. High
five student body!
- Results will be ratified tomorrow night at 7:00 pm in
the SLTC Conference Room 159. Results will be announced via e-mail after 7
pm.
III.
Announcements and Constituent Concerns
- With the new cafeteria, why isn’t there as many
vegetarian options? If anyone else has any concerns, e-mail Ruairi—he will
be meeting with Mike Flory soon.
- Advertising the flush features of the toilets in the
SLTC? A lot of people don’t know about the water usage and conservation in
the SLTC. There is an itty bitty label, but a lot of people don’t know
whether the handle should go up down back or forth—Dean and ECC will
handle this.
- Why is there only two doors with card readers in each
dorm? Sometimes it is quite inconvenient for Veasey girls.
- A few people, including organizations and individuals,
ask why we can’t have more public spaces in the SLTC to put posters—
especially downstairs. As far as that main area near the burrow there are
only two cork boards for posters. There have been complaints among people
whose posters have been covered up. You are allowed to put them up on the
windows of the game room. There is also a spot on the other side of the
student activities suite. The issue is the heavily trafficking area—more poster/student
space please? Dean will look into it and see if there aren’t any easy
adjustments to be made for now. Longer-term adjustments will be looked
into as well.
- Dr. Cloyd and some students met and talked about flip
cameras—short film creation competition suggested by a doner. Film shorts
and awards given per category. Film festival? Being overseen by the
president’s office. Jim, Karen Foust, and BJ are in charge of the
committee. If you have any ideas for categories, holler at BJ or Jim. An
announcement will be by spring break hopefully.
- Hendrix Film Makers group is getting started—perhaps they
can be involved.
- The idea is media for the masses, so it must be made
as democratic as possible. Another idea: Hendrix video archive—change over
the past ten years. Dr. Cloyd asked to try and tie in with faculty
appreciation day, such as “What makes a professor great” and etc.
- Any clever ideas for an award like at the Oscars that
could be Hendrix based, send ideas to BJ. How about a Squirrel?

said charges.

Security:
$300.00
The Administration of Hendrix College
has requested that Martin Hall solicit funds from the Senate for the specific
purpose of bolstering funds previously allotted for security in the event that
said security is required to remain in the employ of the College for an extent
of time beyond the original estimation. Further, previous allocation
calculations were based on data regarding hourly wages from last year. These wages have since gone up.

Organization:
social committee
Requesting: $15,405
For: SoCo LoCo Dos
When and where: April 17th, Village Apartment Complex
Master Calendar: Yes
Event details: This year we would like to bring The Hippo, the world's
largest inflatable waterslide, back to Hendrix. The rental fee is 50% off
this year so it'll be even cheaper. Instead of renting a Ferris wheel, we want
to rent X-treme air. This is a skydiving simulator; it uses a giant wind
turbine to give the rider the feeling of flight (check it out at tjohne.com. It
is BALLIN). For food we will use Flossie's Funnelcakes. We are requesting
more money for food this year since we ran out last year. VR Rentals of
Little Rock will provide midway games including Wax Hands. We also
will be raffling off prizes.
This event will be held in the grass area between the Village apartments and in
a lot adjacent to the complexes. This location requires us to buy plywood
as an aid for loading.
This event will only be open to Hendrix students.
We are looking to block book The Hippo with another organization in central
Arkansas in order to reduce costs.
