ASUSU addresses student directory being postponed
Associated Students of Utah State University kept their weekly meeting brief Tuesday evening to allow time to get into the holiday spirit with a festive Halloween party.
After an approval of minutes, ASUSU President Steve Palmer informed the group that the student directory has been postponed because of unforeseen problems.
“Some of the information [in the directory] is not correct information,” Palmer said.
Palmer said the computer field “was changed somehow to get everyone’s home phone numbers” instead of the students current phone numbers.
Athletics Vice President Jennifer Putnam encouraged all of ASUSU to attend and support the “Donut Bop” carnival which will be held today in the Fieldhouse from 4 to 6 p.m. and will be sponsored by Chi Omega for underprivileged children in the valley.
“If you don’t come, you’ll be missing out on donuts and cute kids in costumes,” Putnam said.
The carnival is not targeted toward students, but for children throughout the valley, said Sarah LeValley, Chi Omega community service chair.
“We’re trying to provide a safe environment for kids to go trick-or-treating,” LeValley said. “We’ll have 18 different booths ranging from a cake walk to a bean bag toss. Different organizations on campus are sponsoring the booths.”
The price of admission for the children is “a can of food” which will be donated to Cache County Food Bank, LeValley said.
Student advocate Steve Kindred informed ASUSU that the student fee board is currently improving their policy. Kindred said the student fee board will formally be holding a hearing in January for organizations who want to request money from student fees.
Family Life senator Kristen Stokes asked the council to attend the Fun Park Thursday night. Stokes said the Fun Park and the Ag Council may be forming a partnership in which the two would co-sponsor each other at various events and in which Ag Council would receive a portion of Thursday swing night profits. The next three weeks will be a trial basis to see if this coalition will work, Stokes said.
Activities Vice President Andy Dilley reported that Saturday night’s Howl proved to be a huge success.
“We sold out an hour before we normally do,” Dilley said.
Dilley said the cost of putting on the Howl is roughly $15,000 and between $44,000 and $56,000 was raised.
