During this
week's Student Senate meeting, the Senate heard committee reports from the
University Program Council, International Film Series, Leadership for Educational
Action Fund and the Organization Funding Board. The Senate also approved two
proposals heard at the last Student Senate meeting.
On Monday Feb.
11, the UPC released 900 additional tickets to the annual spring concert due to
new renovations in Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion. Originally, the Macklemore
and Ryan Lewis concert was going to be held at Nottingham Field, but because of
seating and weather issues the UPC decided to move the concert indoors.
Tickets for the concert sold out
within 72 hours of going on sale, and UPC realized new renovations to
Butler-Hancock allowed for an additional 900 tickets to be sold. According to
UPC representative Lauren Koppel there are about 400 tickets still for sale at
the University Center Ticket Office.
“After a
little research it is safe to say that this concert will be the most UNC
students in any one place ever,” Koppel said.
International
Film Series released their spring movie lineup this week, and presented their
new event to Student Senate. In addition to the eight movie screenings every
Wed. and Thurs IFS will be hosting family nights March 13 and 14 while
screening Wallace and Gromit: Curse of
the Were Rabbit. All IFS screenings start at 7 p.m. and are free for
students but $3 for non-students.
At the last
Student Senate meeting LEAF proposed adding recycling and animal waste stations
throughout campus. Senate approved the proposal for keeping UNC’s campus green
and within the next few weeks students can find the recycling stations outside
every major building and the animal waste stations in large grass areas like
Turner Green, Cranford Park and Gunter Green.
“Student
proposals made this idea a reality,” said director of student affairs Nick
Loveridge. “The next couple weeks students will be able to go green and clean
up after their pets. We just need to finish some simple paperwork and the
stations will start showing up.”
After
hearing from three different organizations at the last meeting, Student Senate
heard from only one this week. The Mexican American Studies Club was approved
$1,194.70 to put on their annual Celebration of the Arts event March 6. Senate
was very happy to allocate the club money because it is one of the most
attended events on campus.
Senate concluded the meeting with new business
proposals for the next meeting 5:30 p.m. Feb. 27 in the University Center
Council Room. For more information about Student Senate visit their website at www.unco.edu/studentsenate/.
