RA keeps it short

The RA meeting was a short one this week because of a change in agenda. The assembly planned to vote on selections for the various student-faculty committee vacancies, however, not enough students applied for the posts.

The apparent apathy of members towards serving on committees caused President Liam Clarke to warn that the RA was running the risk of forcing him and Vice-President Seth Guthartz to make the selections without the consent of the assembly.

Clarke asked the members to avoid this situation and to sign up for the committees, which the assembly will hopefully vote on next week. All students are eligible to apply for these positions.

The RA also voted to form an interim budget committee to handle the requests for discretionary funds from the RA budget. The returning members of last year's committee were approved to handle these applications until a new budget committee is selected.

A planned vote for the Parking Appeals Committee was delayed until next week to allow all candidates to be present.

Next Monday, in addition to the parking vote and committee seatings, the RA will discuss a proposal for a Coffee House Oversight Committee. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in Skelton Lounge.
