Associated Students Inc. held a special board meeting Nov. 7 to pass legislation that was not completed in time for the official board meeting on Oct. 31.

Election Task Force Appointment Delayed

Vice President of Academic Affairs Curtis Grima and Secretary of University Affairs Walter Wallace said they did not yet have a student appointment for the Election Task Force.

Students on the Election Task Force help in reviewing ASI student election procedures.

“We’ve had difficulty finding a student who can meet the time frame (of the meeting),” Grima said.

Meetings will begin after winter break and will be held on Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wallace said he’s interviewed six students so far, but none of them have been able to make the time. He said finding students for the committee is one of his top priorities because the deadline for appointments is Dec. 2.

Wallace said he believes the committee is important.

“Personally I think the current language of the elections need to be rewritten,” he said. “We want to go over it to make sure everything is more equal in the sense it doesn’t discourage..those who this is their first time running.”

Turkey Bowl Passed

The only legislation passed was for the allocation of approximately $1,000 toward ASI’s Turkey Bowl event between Natural Sciences and Mathematics joint counsel and the Engineering and Computer Science joint counsel. Both counsels are composed of students from each educational department.

The Turkey Bowl will be an opportunity for students to connect to each other and have a fun day, said Director of Natural Science and Mathematics Fely Sita Makaba.

“We’re also going to have people donate cans…for a charity,” Makaba said.

Makaba said she did not yet know which charity.

The event will be held Nov. 29.
