Vi moves into discussion, Milo seconds. Everyone who plays gets one. 11am is the game. April first is Saturday. Milo talks about it as not being necessary. It is early because RHA exec board is going to kick off the week. Nothing to hold it from funding. There are other groups that should have gotten the money, spending on this doesn’t seem correct.

B. Rob- talk about housing fee increase. The increase went to 2.5%, while admin wanted it to be 5%. Rob wants to know about the fee questions, comments, and concerns. They only make the recommendation, so rob wanted to know how people feel.
Katie, acknowledges that the increase at 2.5%.
Anondah- doesn’t feel we should be punished for housings mistakes.
John t. – decision will be made when? Dr. Richmond makes the decision, so he makes it independent. John wants to make a committee to make a group decide on a resolution for increase.
Alex- most increases go through AS, why would this not have a vote to see what student want.
Rob- encourages us to find out with John Capaccio to find out about this in the future.
Milo- wants to have 5%, not the 2.5%. He agrees with John C. He thinks that the money should be spent if need be. If things are going to be better, then do it.

IX. Old Business
A. RPB. As you know they came last week. They only have $500 in unallocated. They don’t know how much they have spent in dining yet. So they think they are in the negative. They have 3 programs left. Feast and fest, finals program, and social dance, even though $300 isn’t enough? We have enough in the unallocated line item. Move to approve, Vi, Second Katie. Vi, if they are in the red how much more will they need. They don’t get the numbers until tomorrow from Ron. They are charging for the event. They are going to request more money from the Hill. Milo stated that he wants to table until he knows how much is left in RHA before he would feel comfortable voting. In the red based on what they spent. Call the question by Kristy, second by Katie.
