Community events participation including the PPP-on-P
Fundraising includes T-Shirt sales and possibly an auction in the future
Asking for funds to attend the National Association for the Education of Young Children
(NAEYC) Conference in Washington, D.C.
Bring back knowledge to the program students through a presentation during a ECSA
meeting which is open to any student interested in early childhood education

Page 1 of 3
 Learning something new every day!
 2 non-members that are K-Staters are presenting at the conference and will later present
to ECSA following the conference as well
 Requesting $400 for travel
 Discussion:
o Like the event and that it markets to students in multiple majors
o Spend a half hour discussing at their meeting, which is more concrete than what
we sometimes here
Intern Hart moved to allocate $400 for travel. Intern Deloach seconded. Motion passed 8-0-1.
THERIOGENOLOGY CLUB


Study of Reproduction in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM)
Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medicine Association (SCAVMA)
Symposium at Colorado State University
 Four students on the palpation team will compete at the national symposium
o Palpation is rectally checking for pregnancy in cows, for those non-Ag majors
like myself
 Student chapter covers the registration for the event
 Hands on experience with Wet Labs
o Basically labs that teach a certain procedure or process
 Normally they are experiments that can’t be done at K-State
 Students will bring the experience from these wet labs and speakers back to other
members of the CVM through a presentation at one of their monthly meetings which are
open to any CVM student
 Requesting $475 for travel but only 4 student travelers, so the max we can fund is $400
 Discussion:
o Open to the college, but seemed slightly closed
o Hard to find more relevant experience than wet labs for a CVM student
o Any student can take the qualifying test to attend the conference and compete
Intern Hart moved to allocate $400 for travel. Intern Pracht seconded. Motion passed 8-0-1.
AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY (AFS)








Sub-Chapter of the overall Kansas Chapter of AFS
Asking funds for the Kansas Natural Resource Conference in Wichita
Research will be presented at the conference by graduate schools throughout the state so
students can gain knowledge about the industry
One of the meetings after the event will include a presentation over the conference
$50 registration fee for the conference is covered by students attending
At this time, only 6 confirmed people are attending
Requesting $850 for travel, but as of now, since we only have 6 guaranteed people, the
max we can fund is $600
Discussion:
o Worried about the surety of the number of travelers but like the event
o The amounts are also unsure
Sunday, October 27, 2013 Meeting Minutes
Page 2 of 3

Like funding $350 for hotel rooms (4 rooms) if ten people and $260 if six
people and $100 for fuel, but food is the question
Intern DeLoach moved to table the request. Intern Hart seconded. Motion passed.
ALPHA KAPPA PSI (AKPSI)


Business fraternity with all different majors, including a few non-business majors
Visiting Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas to visit four different companies
o CRM Studios, The Richards Group, The Dallas Cowboys Stadium, and the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
 Present about the trip at Chapter and at informational meetings for recruitment into
AKPsi
 Discussion:
o Stephen would “slobber over the chance to go on this trip”
o Worried about how this knowledge is being disseminated to the rest of the college
 Accessibility is an issue because the presentation is only open to Chapter
members
o Also, we didn’t find it fair to discount the group by a large amount due to the
number of students attending, which is 25
o Some members of the committee wanted to fully fund and some wanted to fund
$800 and some $900 (2 people for each), so unlike the U.S. government, we
compromised to $900
Intern Hart moved to allocate $900 for travel. Senator Wessling seconded. Motion passed 8-0-1.
LEGISLATION PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE
The following pieces of legislation will be passed out of committee with corresponding authors:

Alpha Kappa Psi– Intern Pracht moved to pass the bill out of committee with a favorable
recommendation. At Large Kneale seconded. Motion passed 7-1-2.
o Discussion was brought up about the UAC Blue Key Allocation. A committee
member thought we should increase the allocation to $100 because if someone
asked AKPsi to give a presentation, they probably would, just like Blue Key does.
Plus the membership is exclusive in the same sense for both organizations.
 Another member described how he didn’t believe Blue Key only brings
the knowledge back through their presentations
Intern Hart moved to continue to hold the request for AFS in committee until more information
is garnered. Intern Deloach Seconded. Motion passed.
ADJOURN | Senator Kucera moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:43pm. The next College

Organization within the College of Veterinary Medicine
Various people in their profession come and speak to them about opportunities after
school
o These individuals have hosted wet labs for hands-on experience, too
Didactic for first three years in the organization
o Wet labs allow students the chance to actually touch animals, in this case, horses
Students attending the conference are the ones most interested in studying horse medicine
Eight third year students are attending this year
o There is a wet lab every year specifically for third year students and 23 total wet
labs are put on by professionals
Wet labs from this event are later presented to the group at meetings
o The group has invited the community to attend in the past
o Hoping to become certified in the wet labs
There are opportunities for different emergency courses at the event that are not included
in the curriculum
Wet labs are capped at 30 people and typically 20 Universities attend
The organization provides lunch or dinner at every monthly meeting at $4/6 per person
This event is the only traveling opportunity for third year students in vet school
Assuming $3.25 per gallon, 670 miles each way, 20 mpg, and two vehicles leads to
$435.50 of fuel costs
Requesting $1,000 for travel, but only eight people are going, so the max we can fund is
$800
Discussion:
o Committee likes the idea in general
o Hotel and food add up to $800 alone
o Senator Thibault recommends we vote for $800 at the official meeting
AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS (AIAS)







Student chapter of the national professional organization
Goal is to connect students to the community, education, professionals, and advance the
art and science of architecture by involving the community
Asking for funds to attend the national meeting of AIAS
o Have two per year and past representation by K-State has been lacking
o Want to have better attendance to show we are as good as our rankings show
Funding is a large problem for the group
o $300 registration fee alone
o Educational tours are very expensive too ($30-$40 each)
o $600 per student average out of pocket for conference
o Flights paid for by individuals attending
Portfolio and resume workshops will take place at the event
o A well put together portfolio is ESSENTIAL to attain a job in the future
Concepts about diagramming and new architecture ideas will also be shared at the event
Members of the group and non-members that are also in the College of Architecture are
allowed to attend

Great opportunity for mentoring and networking relationships to form
Hoping to host a national meeting in the future at K-State
o This will only happen if younger members become excited for it by attending
Time at a group meeting on campus open to anyone is set aside time for students that go
on the trip to present about the conference and the competitions they went to
Each student will put together a powerpoint of what they learned, how they are bringing
the knowledge back and why it applies to their education
Eight people are for sure going on the trip
The last time K-State students presented at the forum was four years ago with three
students
o Due to the budget, this has not been possible since
The number attending would potentially be affected by our funding
Design Intelligence ranked K-State’s Architecture College’s programs as:
o Landscape Architecture #2
o Interior Architecture #7
o Architecture #8
 All rankings include Ivy league schools, just fyi
Requesting $800 for travel
Discussion:
o Committee thought that this event is exactly what we like to fund
o See the value for K-State and getting our name out there
o Senator Kucera thinks that the Architecture College rankings should be 'in a
tweet' or something to build his social media platform; going to start a Facebook
group page for himself separate from his own Facebook page
o The committee feels very comfortable with $800
o Students learn portfolio skills, which the committee feels is extremely valuable
o K-State value is also the potential of eventually having this conference here
AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY (AFS)

After receiving more information from a few weeks ago, we brought this request back up
to reconsider it
The organization is for sure taking 9 people now, so we can fund up to $900 of the
$1,000 that they originally requested
Feel that the food costs at over $13 per person per meal are a little high
o Felt more comfortable with $300 for the weekend for all meals
Request was for five hotel rooms, but there is no way that they could use that many with
four people per room even with different sexes, so we knocked it down to four rooms at
$100 per room, so about $400
Gas costs to Wichita are about $100, so we felt comfortable with that number
Overall wanting to fund $800 for travel
ADJOURN | The unofficial meeting was adjourned at 8:35pm. The next College Allocations
Committee meeting will be tomorrow, November 18, 2013 at 6:30pm in the Union Courtyard.

3. K-State value (does it represent K-State well? positively increase reputation?)
