- If you have a conflict you can ask the chair to change the time of the meeting. You have that right. However , some committees never change (especially large committees)
- We learned that some people have conflicts so we may do a committee swap.

- Committee Reports
- (My computer froze and I couldn’t remember what committee this was for) (sorry)
- Halloween is an issue next year because it falls on a Saturday and the city is looking for student input.
- We brainstormed feedback: Both night were big on previous nights when Halloween fell on a Saturday, there were lots of complaints on the exits and entrances so the city is looking at that problem, the city can’t do anything about the 5 dollars entrance fee
- WSM
- Approved management team for next year
- Doing well on budget
- Getting an emergency system worked on (campus crisis committee?)
- They want to update the website, if they should buy a web site
- Next meeting is in April
- The Office of financial aid and admission
- 18,000 students got financial aid this year, which comes to around 1.6 million this year
- Admissions is behind because we have switched to electronic (as of now we are about 2,000 behind)
- Hired additional staff members to help problem
- How does the cutoff point work for admissions? They want around 5,600 freshmen but there is not a capping procedure. (25% of the class can be out of state (we are never close to that number))
- Book Swap
- You can sell books for more and buy for less
- It is taking place on Jan 21st (Classes start the 22nd )
- Want as many student volunteers and we pass around a sign up
- Diversity over sight committee
- Want students to take ethnic studies early (in frosh or soph year)and would like them to have hands on experience
- Diversity forum for LGBT will meet at 7 check TITU
- Committee on student Organizations
- This committee needs be to revised and the new changes need to be put into print.
- The reason we need to do this is to have a 9 member would rule out a tie, however they want it to be as staff member from SOO.
- The reason behind this change is that it would rule out a tie vote, and the dean of students and SOO were once one and the same. However, they now have very different jobs and are separate groups. For some reason a voting member of SOO has been voting even though he/she didn’t have the right/power to for several years now.
- All the hearings so far this year, have been unanimous but there have be instances where there has been a tie, so to fix this they want to officially give the SOO power.
- We have to option to publicize this problem if we like.
- We brainstormed Ideas: We want the SOO to have a voice, because dean of students and SOO, SOO still answers to the dean of students so it might give the faculty too much power, The SOO has a lot of power over student orgs so we need them to have order, The SOO has been voting for years and it hasn’t hurt anything,
- We closed debate
- We Voted in favor of the proposal.
- Adjournment

Where do we go to complain about SSFC having a stipend to show up to meetings? Where is this money coming from?
I would encourage you to contact the Chair of SSFC, Alex Gallagher. His contact information is available on the ASM website: asm.wisc.edu
