Student Government Advisor
■ Ernie
Williams- Co-Curricular / Non-Curricular grant requests are due at midnight on
October 5. Will have a committee made up of this group that will be reviewing
those requests. Thanked everyone for showing up to the Volleyball game last
Friday. It was the biggest crowd he has seen at a Volleyball game so far. This Friday
at 7pm the “woman volleyballers” will play
Student Activities Coordinator
■ Brandon Lytle- Absent.
LCSC Administration Communications
■ Tony Fernandez- Absent.
Executive Communications
■ President
Smith- Good job on the minutes and “getting those cleaned up.” Working on
getting numbers from other Student Governments before the SBOE meeting next
month. Trying to get a meeting together for the SSAI at the SBOE meeting. Main
one he wants to talk to is BSU because they have not passed the SSAI
Constitution yet. The new president wanted to get involved; he’s been trying to
get in contact with her to “remind her of that.” Will be hard to do without BSU. When he
talked to Amy (the BSU President) last spring she seemed to be “on board.”
Checking into getting the Student Performing Arts Board going. The ASLCSC had
put together guidelines for the board. But there are entities on campus that
believe the board is too large and have resisted meeting. People believe that
the board is too large and it will be hard to get all of the people together to
meet. Will be meeting with Mary Flores. Advised that he has been part of this
body for three years and he doesn’t “think that committee has ever met.” There
is money being spent but no oversight and he believes that something needs to
be done.
■ Vice-President
Astle- Went to CDA on Friday. Showed the Senate the “River Review.” Passed
around a newspaper and a few pamphlets. Trip went well; the group seems to be
pretty productive.
■ Committees
Director Curd- Clubs and Orgs meeting in ACW at 12:15 pm.
■ Media
Relations Director O’Harra- Nothing.
President
Smith added that at the CDA meeting last week they discussed the WarriorMail
issue. Stated that they couldn’t even email the “River Review” back and forth
using WarriorMail. The CDA representatives asked that they have a
representative on the WarriorMail committee, maybe by teleconference. Reported
that he talked to Courtney today and she told him they were going to work on
the issue and try to get them involved. Will try to get the “webinars” broadcast
up there as they are about 10% of the LCSC population. CDA has also been having
text book issues, which has been an ongoing issue. They get all of their books
from Follett’s and they aren’t always getting the correct books. Professors are
sometimes waiting until the last minute to put in their book orders and this
causes them to not get their books until two to three weeks into the semester.
Advised that he did talk to them about LCSCbooks and asked for their input on
that as far as what would be easiest for them.
Judicial Communications
■ Nothing.
Committee Reports
Safety Meeting: Senator McKee reported that they met on Thursday. One of the main
topics was problems with the paint fumes around the printing shop. They are
looking at ways of possibly moving that classroom to another place on campus. There
is a website where people can post things when they have a concern. There is
still a problem with people having candles in dorm rooms. Talking about getting
satellite phones so instructors could have a phone in case of emergency during
a backpacking trip or other similar event.
LCWarriorMail: President
Smith stated that they would be meeting soon (possibly the first part of
October). Encouraged Student Government members to do the survey. Make sure you
advertise the website in your classes so there is a student response included
in the survey. Courtney told him that
they have had seven faculty fill out the survey and six of them supported
WarriorMail. Need to make sure there is a good student response to the survey.

Senate Information Reports
■ None.
Audience Time
■ Senator
Frei passed the gavel to Senator Binkley. Stated that she talked to Physical
Plant today regarding the recycling situation on campus. Decided that it would
be a good idea to have “bumper stickers” on the bins so people know what the
bins are for. Also talked about getting trash bins put next to the recycling
bins so people aren’t putting trash in the recycling bins. Will find out more
this week. May have a bill written up for the cost of the stickers for next
week. VP Astle stated that he thinks that certain colored bins should be
designated for certain things and the stickers should advertise what type of
recycling should happen in that container. AJ Mohamed stated that it might be a
good idea to put pictures on the stickers. Senator Frei stated that John will
be finding out exactly how the recycling is separated and where it all goes.
Senator Frei took back the gavel.
■ Senator
Frei stated they will be doing Senator interviews Friday at 2pm. One applicant will
not be available on Friday. Frei stated they could interview her on Thursday at
5:30. Any other applicants will be on Friday at 2pm.
■ President
Smith stated that the conference room is full of things that need to be
organized and taken downstairs.
Adjournment
Motion to adjourn Senator
Filler, second Senator McKee. Unanimous. Meeting adjourned at 5:15 pm.
