The Associated Students of ISU (ASISU) Senate Meeting on Monday, Sept. 17, started with the Senate approving the minutes from the previous meeting, as well as the agenda for the current meeting.
ASISU President Jennifer Brown kept the Senate up to date with the happenings on campus, touching on Rejuvenation and the keynote speaker for the summer reading book, "Affluenza."
Several items were discussed by the ASISU Senate. The Men's soccer sports club, which has a total of 35 students on their roster, was approved as an official sports club of ISU. They will be playing at BYU-Idaho on Friday, Oct. 5, and will be doing a fundraiser at Davis Field. Look for more information on the fundraiser as it is released.
The Curriculum Council - which meets for about two hours a week - is looking for a student to fill that position. However, if there is no one that wants the job, Senator Todd Itami - who worked on the council last year - will stay in the position. The position includes a stipend, however Sen. Itami has opted to waive his pay.
The Senate approved the name change of the Program Board to the Student Activities Board (SAB). They also approved the name change of the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender Student Alliance (LGBTSA) to the Queer Student Alliance.
The Senate then heard information on ISU Fright Night, an event that will take place on Halloween night from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., at Reed Gym. There will be two dance floors, a costume contest, karaoke, a magician and hypnotist, and much more. The cost is $5 for students and $10 for non-students.
The senate then approved bill 287 that extends the deadline for club registration until the fifth Friday of the school year.
Sen. Matthew Spencer introduced a letter that he'd written asking why home basketball games had been planned on Sunday's this year. The letter was approved.
Pres. Brown explained that the Big Sky Conference is working with many different media groups to get their games on national TV, and playing on Sunday will allow ISU to have these games on national TV.
The Senate meeting ended with a discussion of the pending ASISU Supreme Court lawsuit filed by the Idaho Progressive Student Alliance (IPSA). There were differences in opinion by multiple senators on the interpretation of the By-laws. It was agreed that it was not the Senate's job to interpret the By-Laws, only to write them. The case will go to the supreme court.
