On Thursday (Oct. 30th) Union Council held its monthly meeting. It lasted about three hours, and included several important action items. First, we listened to an update by all WUD Directors (this includes the music committee, Global Connections, etc... if you really don't know what WUD is, ask me). We then approved a a document that overhauled all of the procedures to accept "naming" donations for all Union rooms. We decided that the Rath probably shouldn't become the KFC Beerhall, and so we included a list of locations that should not be named. This bill has been in the wings for years, so the fact that it was finally passed made the admin very happy. I don't think many students ever want to see buildings "sold" via donations. But, at the same time... money is very very nice.
We then authorized the Union to be the administrative home for a program for incoming freshman to go on a trip to bond. This program was started by students, but they are graduating, and need it to have a real home. In the future there is the hope that any group/org will be able to go on the trip to "bond".
A new programing fund was also started (funded by the Union) for programing that encourages democratic values. The requirements are pretty loose, so be creative!
Thanks,
Guthrie
