Union Council

Union Council had their first meeting of Fall Semester '08.

We did quite an extensive overview of the Union (as our bylaws state we have to), and its processes. Updates were brief, as it was the first meeting, but several important points were brought up.

First, the opening of the new cafe in Granger has been welcomed with a warm opening, and the Union had a good summer as far as the budget is concerned. We did vote to disband the Union's partnership with GUTS. There had been a situation 20 years ago in which GUTS worked with the Union quite closely, since then however, they have had an increasingly small roll. After Union South is torn down, they will no longer reside in the Union.

New designs for Union South will be forthcoming soon! Updated I suppose is a better word. 

Thanks,
Guthrie
