Student Government Association

5:31pm meeting called to order

Present: Fouad, Yasmin, David, Joy, Ashley, Christine

Minutes from last 2 weeks approved.

Senate Event in Patapsco, Chesapeake, Potomac and Harbor:

Initiative to make SGA visible in housing. Will tell people in residence halls
about SGA events, etc
Here to solicit Finance Board's support. Advertising will begin next week.
Messages sent out to CAB's.

Budgetary Policy:
SGA Advisor: The legislation for the new budgetary policy appears to be good. Only a
few problems with naming
and wording will be easily solved and the legislation looks good to be passed.

Persian Student Association:
Joy: Tell us aobut your event?
Its a show and dinner to celebrate the Persian new year. Most of the performances
are done by our members. It is
to get more people aware of the cultural implications show up. We had about 320 ppl
show up last time from DC, Virginia
and Towson.

Joy: Do you expect the same number this year?
WE expect about 300.

David: Housekeeping and clean up appear to be the same thing.
Those are actually two separate charges. We've met with OSL but we havent met with
the Safe Committee yet.
Sodexho is going to provide our food. Sodexho is going to the deal with an outside
company. The last time
Sodexho did the food they didnt give us the breakdown of the charges but just
handled all the costs according
to our budget. We dont know how much it will cost but we expect it to be about
$2500. We expected less people
last year so we ran out of food but this year we're planning to have more and we're
gettin a discount from the
restaurant.

David: It may make sense for you guys to come back next week when you have exact
numbers and you've met with the safe
committee.
Ok.

Joy: Are you charging admission?
Its free for UMBC students but for outside we may or may not charge depending on how
much money we get.

David: You're allowed to charge outside people as much as you want.

Joy: What are the outfit costs?
We wanted to buy outfits and a sepaarate generic banner that we could use every year
rather than keep asking
for those costs.

PSA: Can we get part of the budget approved so we can get moving with the event?
David: What parts are you sure about?
PSA: we have the room reservation, the advertising, and most of the rest. We're
only waiting for the food costs.Our
security costs are a little higher after we met with Denise. Our myUMBC spotlight
was $50.

SGA bbbAdvisor: Spotlight is free.
PSA; Ok then we can take that off.

Yasmin: If we passed this next week what would be the problem?
PSA: Well we've already started making some payments and we dont have that much
money.

David: I think we can give you the advertising and that stuff but the food I think
we should wait till you meet with
them.

Christine: What time are you guys having this?
Its a saturday at 6:30pm. We have to be out of the room by 2am.

Thank You

SEA Camping:
Fouad: How many people are attending this event?
about 15.

Joy: Can you tell us about the event?
Every semester we go camping. Last year we went to Kentucky. Its a 4 day trip, we
go hiking, camp out there, etc.

David: transportation, is that gas cost?
yes, its 500 miles for 3 cars.

Yasmin: How are you deciding who gets to go?
If theres going to be more than 15 people theyll have to pay, but we're trying to
make sure no one has to pay.
Its going to be first come first serve but its open to anyone.

David: Are you charging students?
Not if we get the full amount?

David: are you going to ask for funding for other events?
No this is probably the main one.

Thank you

GES Com:
Joy: Can you tell us about the event?
Its a trip to the Science center.

David: You have admimssion for 10 students, if more students come how will you work
that out?
We'll just split whatever u give us and then get everyone to pay the balance.

Fouad: How will people find out about this event.
We're going to put it up on various list procs. WE're gonna put up some posters and
make some fliers. We're trying to
connect with SEA's facebook group also.

Thank You

Hindu Students Council:

Joy: Can you tell us about your event?
We wanted to do a cultural talent show. We also wanted to do a big enough event so
that students recognize that we arent just
a religious organization. People are going to dance, sing or play instruments. It
will be culturally themed.

David: Have you been to a safe meeting yet
We're schedule for Friday next week.

David: Have you seen scheduling yet?
yes we have, these numbers are from them. The common vision cost is advertising.

Joy: How many people are you expecting?
We're planning to maximize the ballroom at about 400. This is the first time we're
doing this event, so we're not as sure
about attendance yet. We want to project this as a family event so we'd like the
families to come out.

Christine: Are there going to be tryouts?
Well not really try outs but we're trying to keep the content as cultural and
appropriate as possible.

David: This event is free for all UMBC students?
yes

Social Dinner:
Joy: Can you tell us about that?
WE try to do this social dinner every year to get the community involved. We're
working with food services to get food for
the skylight lounge for a formal dinner. We're going to try and get the max
capacity of the sky light lounge of 150. Its available to all UMBC students and open
only to UMBC students.
The time for Holi Hungama is starting at 6pm till 9:15pm.

Thank You

Chinese Student Association:
Lion Dance Troupe:
Joy: Can you tell us about that?
Its going to be a lion dance cultural performance. The total cost is about $300 but
we were going to request $150
from you and pay the rest through our carryover.

Thank You

Asian Student Connection:
Joy: can you tell us about the event.
Setup is just setting up the tables, etc. Audio visual is the cost for lighting,
concert and the stage stuff. Food costs
are actually abut $2400 but we only put $1400 because we're using our alumni
connections to pay for some of that. We
dont need the police but the security cost is for student marshalls. We're getting
fliers and postcards for marketing.
We're going to use facebook, etc to advertise.

David: You've got these figures from scheduling?
Yes

David: have you had a safe meeting yet?
Yes.

Joy: How many people are you expecting?
300

David: Are you charging students?
No, but we're charging non students.

Thank You

Deliberations:

SEA:
Joy: How do people feel about the camping trip?

that promotes their club.

Thank You

Russian Club
HIllwood Museum:

Joy: Tell us about the event.
We're going there April 12th, the museum houses russian and french art. It will be
educational.

Fouad: So the money for tickets is going towards students and the 5 adults?
yes.

Fouad: And the quote from the gas money is from where?
Well we thought we could fit everyone in 3 cars and that would be $10 dollars roundtrip
to washington dc.

Joy: The adults aren't students correct?
Yes theyre not students.

Joy: Well the student fee money is only for students so we cant really fund
for the adults.

David: you had an event earlier int he year that you didnt get refunded for, you
can just reallocate that.
Yes, that was our idea.

Yasmmin: How much are the student and adult tickets?
The student tickets are $7 and the adults tickets are $12.

Thank You

Delta Epsilon induction:

David: Do you have the breakdown of the costs?
Cords for inductees $564, food $3500, decorations $150.

Yasmin: How many inductees are there?
Last year about 45-50.

Christine: What are your requirements for admission?
a 3.5 gpa in economics classes.

Joy: so the event is open to everyone?
yes, anyone can attend the induction but the cords are only
for inductees.

Joy: How many people are you expecting?
about 130-150.

Yasmin: Do you think itll be only students or others?
Well half of the attendees are inductees. The rest are other students,
faculty, ppl who give out the awards, etc.

Joy: How do you advertise this event?
We dont advertise, we send out invitations. OUr donors and faculty get and send out
mass emails but its not advertised to students other than those inducted who can
invite their friends.

Christine: If you dont get money for this how will you fund it?
Well itll be difficult because the econ dept has had budget cuts this year
and its extremley important for us to get funding.

Joy: Were you funded last year?
Yes we did.

Yasmin: If you're using this event to get people to look at your club then
why dont you advertise?
Well we advertise for accounting club and econ COM but this is kind of like the Golden
Key society. Not everyone can become an inductee unless they meet the criteria but we
definitely advertise through other organizations such as accounting club and econ com.

I also wanted to clear up that we dont charge but we do charge inductees $5 to
ensure they
attend. The money from this goes towards other costs we incur. We charge guests but
inducted students get in for $5, Frnds of these students would have to pay the $30.

Joy: Typically we dont give money to an event thats charging students.
Thats why we're asking for money to cover the students who dont pay enough to cover
the food.
That way we dont have to charge students.

Joy: So youre asking for $3500 for food so that you wont have to charge students?
Yes, if we get this funding we wont have to charge students, but if we dont then
we'll have
to charge our guests, etc.

Thank You

Delta Phi Epsilon:
JoyL Can you tel us about awareness week?
We have an awareness week in March to raise awareness about anorexia, etc.We're
tryign to
make the event bigger and bigger so we're asking for money this year.

Fouad: Where will this event take placce?
Over the week the events will take place on campus.
'
Joy: How many people do you expect?
Well for example at the bake sale it will be whoever passes by.Our biggest event will
be the vigil on Thursday where our sorority, other greek members and faculty attend.
Last year we had close to 100 for this.

Christine: what kind of food are you having?
It will be mostly cookies and cupcakes for the bake sale. The vigil will be real
food like
pasta, etc. OUr sorority will be cooking as well. The bake sale isnt really a sale
though,
we're giving out food and asking for donations.

Christine: Can you explain the bake sale?
Well we're goingn to hand out goods, raise awareness, etc. We have information
pamphlets,
to try and catchattention and get the name out there.

Yasmin: Where is the vigil taking place?
Itll be outside behind the commons but in case it rains we'll have a room reserved.

rooms,
hotels in new york are pretty expensive so we're trying our best to cut down
expenses as
much as possible.In the past you've covered delegate fees and thats a big chunk so that
would be great. IF you could cover that we would be extremely happy and if you cover
some transportation we'd be ecstatic. Our program is bringing a lot of recognitition
to UMBC and we're doing well. We do fundraise a lot but its sometimes not possible
to fundraise the amount we need. We're tryin to build an alumni base but we stil need
some help from you.

We had people submit their poems to us and we're going to create a book out of
everyone's
original poetry. We want to get them printed and sold to the campus, etc.

Ashley: So anyone could submit poems?
Yes, it wasnt based on how good the poem was or anything like that, but it was just
basic
expression. Anyone on campus could submit.

Ashley: Did you advertise for this?
Yes we did. We just had a question, the only reason we wanted to sell back was so
that we
could obtain our own budget. How would you suggest we obtain our own budget without
charging
our own students?

David: Well if you wanted to use your own carryover then you could charge students
all you
want but if SGA funds you then we dont want to see students charged since they already
pay the student activity fee.

College Democrats:
Joy: Tell us about the event.
The event is a political career internship fair. We're working with the baltimore
county
young democrats. We're trying to work withh the Shriver center and career center.
WE're
hoping to get 200-300 people. WE're goin to be advertising a lot on campus. Its going
to be an informative event more than a job offer event. We're going to try to bring
in some local politicians, etc to come and speak to students. We're trying to get the
governor to show up.

Yasmin: How many people do you expect?
It often varies depending on the politician, so we're not really sure.
