IX. Old Business
A. Alternate Spring Break: Alex, $200 to them. As Alex was talking to BOF it was brought up that this program would be apart of the co-op line item. Programs that are going on for residence halls and university programs. BOF was thinking that if this turns out to be a great program, why not just give the $200 to them, plus what is left over. This would give more money to the program, and residence hall students. $350 is what is in the line item. Vi moves into discussion, Katie seconds. What are the activities? They are going to Portland, their theme is transitions. Vi, moves to approve money, Stephanie seconds. VOTE PASSES.
B. Ashland: past weekend was the trip. Very successful, with only minor injuries. Thank you Exec Council.
X. New Business
A. RPB: at the beginning of the year, Swank was told movies were going to be $8K. Recently it is discovered that is was $9300. Therefore they are 1300 short from what they thought was going to be in their budget. So pixie would like $300 for a Social Awareness dance. If they don’t get the money, they have to give up the dance, or finals week program. It is not just for the Dance, but also for general expenses. She will bring in budget next week. PIXIE RUINS THE FREEZE DATE. April 15th is the freeze date recommendation. The date was pushed back; councils cannot spend or allocate money after this date. Katie moves to table, VI seconds.
