GALLERY QUESTION & ANSWER 1. Brandon Comish- Rotaract Club: Brandon is seeking clarification regarding the Contingency Fund Request made by the Rotaract Club last year. The Club requested, and was granted, $10,000.00 for a humanitarian project to help build a school in Mali. Brandon said a deadline is approaching and the money must be used this month or they will lose it. Brandon would like to find out if the deadline can be extended. The original request deadline is December 31. The Bylaws say the organization has 30 days from the date the fund is granted or a set deadline to spend the money. Senator Doupé completely agrees with why this was passed last year. She asked for the reasoning behind this trip. Brandon said that there is a huge need for education in Mali, and the club is helping to build an elementary school. Senator Seeliger asked Brandon to explain why they couldn’t travel there and if that was still in effect. Senator Brown said that travel restrictions for Mali were for the opposite side of Mali and those aren’t for Rotaract International specifically. It’s just the state department restrictions and it’s on the opposite end of the country. Brandon said it’s an advisory against travel because of the instability and threats of traveling to the country. It’s just a safety precaution the United States takes. Senator Miklos asked Brandon to quickly explain his role in the club and whether or not he’s a student. Brandon is a Rotaract liaison, and last semester he was Treasurer. He is enrolled as a student but is an employee because he works full time. Senator Mitu asked if the deadline was extended, would Brandon have a plan to do it so this doesn’t happen in the future. Brandon said that unfortunately, there is nothing set in place on their end except that there needs to be more communication between both parties. Senator Jensen asked the Senate if applying for an extension was even possible. Vice President Zamora said that a motion would need to be made to extend the request and that would only apply to the contingency motion that was made last year. If there was an extension they would have to suspend the Bylaws as well and then move to extend. That is the protocol. Senator Ward said that there were stipulations in place regarding funding and co-funding granted an extension and asked if Brandon felt that these would be able to be resolved as well as safety and if this would be successful. Brandon said that it would absolutely be successful. Senator Ward asked how much time they would want if another extension was granted. Brandon said they would ask for another year to be safe but the expedition is currently planned for this summer. Vice President Zamora asked to call up President Bloxham to inform the senators on what the policy is on giving money to charitable causes. President Bloxham said the Senate will vote on a contingency fund bill that defines that, but right now it is not defined. This money would be going directly to the school supplies and not Rotary International. Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs, Lowell Richards, said that the concerns are that any university money spent has to go through the proper purchasing process. The question at hand is how do they plan to use the money and how are the transactions going to take place. That also has to go through the university process, there has to be some accountability there. There has been no answer. The other thing is risk management. Any time a club travels anywhere, Risk Management needs to make sure that the travel is done correctly. State risk management rules exist as well; even Purchasing follows state rules. There are a lot of questions on how the purchases are going to take place. Questions that must be considered are: where are they going to buy the materials, from what agency, how will they get there, when will they get there. Everything needs to be coordinated. Another concern is how everyone is going to make sure that all the purchasing and state risk management rules are being followed. Vice President Zamora made the recommendation to extend the time. Senator Woodbury would like to know more about this from the Finance Committee, if an extension is offered. He’d like it to be recycled through the Finance Committee so they are abiding by previous precepts and regenerated to the Senate. MOVE TO EXTEND GALLERY TIME FOR 15 ADDITIONAL MINUTES. Woodbury/Mitu. Unanimous. MOTION CARRIED. Senator Brock said the Senate’s responsibility here is to give this extension because it sounds like Rotaract can’t spend the money until they have everything in place. MOVE TO SUSPEND THE BYLAWS AND GIVE THIS CLUB AN EXTENSION. Brock/Ward. Objection. Senator Brock said that making a motion and approving or denying it is the only way to do something about this. Either an extension or no extension must be made. Senator Doupé made a friendly amendment. The motion now reads: MOVE THE FINAL DECISION OF THIS EXTENSION TO THE JANUARY 30 MEETING. This would give Finance time to look at it and tie up all loose ends. Brock/Ward. PREVIOUS. Point of clarification. MOVE TO SUSPEND THE BYLAWS TO EXTEND THE DATE ON THE DECISION TO JANUARY 30.

Extension granted. MOVE TO EXTEND GALLERY QUESTION AND ANSWER BY 10 MINUTES. Jensen/Mitu. Unanimous. MOTION CARRIED. Maxwell Daniels- Society of Automotive Engineers Vice President. His club is part of the SAE Baja competition, and they are selling four different designs of T-shirts, $15 each. They range in size, with the SAE logo on the side with the ISU logo. The Society of Automotive Engineers includes things with motors. There is already an ad out that will be sent by email and it’d be really appreciated if the ad would be sent out to the clubs. Senator Ward said that if UPC is contacted, they will buy shirts. Senator Parrish recognized Senator Brown. Senator Doupé thanked him for his presentation and said that she is glad that they are choosing such a fun and interesting way to get their name out there. Senator Jensen said that they can come talk about this on ASISU Speaks and have that advertisement for free. Senator Marcetic said he would like a pamphlet. The Society of Automotive Engineers handed out pamphlets to the Senate. Miguel Felix, Yachao Tian-American Advertising Federation: ISU is in a competition right now called ark.com and currently this has tons of schools across the nation 260. ISU is currently in second place. Ark.com is a social media site similar to Facebook. They are going around school and asking students to sign up with their names and ISU accounts. They’ve been working hard to promote it and were wondering if ASISU could help. ISU is in 2nd place with 300 users. This isn’t exactly a sign up for the social media, it’s just to see what schools are interested and the first 5 schools get first use. The winning school will get a huge party and that will get media attention from around the nation; Forbes, CNN, etc. There is no charge. This is a Silicon Valley based company and their story has been featured on CNN and ranked as one of the six hottest. There was a time when Facebook tried to cut them back. Two of the largest social networks in China are trying to do this too. In the meantime ISU gets to have a Hollywood style party for students and faculty get first access. Senator Mitu said that this is a really great opportunity to showcase ISU because many people don’t even know where this is. Students are connected with Facebook and everyone just has to sign up and be one of the top five. This will be a great spread for ISU. She said that they can send out an email to the clubs to go ark.com/edu and tell them to sign up as many as possible. Senator Doupé said that ASISU Speaks is a great way to get this out to constituents. MOVE TO EXTEND GALLERY QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME FOR 10 MORE MINUTES. Parrish/Mitu. Unanimous. MOTION CARRIES. Senator Mitu asked if there is a deadline. The competition runs from Nov28-Dec14, so next Friday is the deadline. Senator Jensen asked if they would be willing to put together a small email since they have the passion for this and send it to Senator Woodbury to send it to the rest of the clubs. They replied that they would. Katie Johnson, Kellyn Fuller: They said that they are here to show their support for the idea of having senators speak in classes about upcoming events. They think it is very important for ISU and for the community. It is sad that students don’t know what is going on and this will really help. Kellyn said that they are Ambassadors and when this idea was proposed it was unanimously passed by the 19 Ambassadors. Senator Ward thanked them for their passion and support and for coming out. 5. Deanna Gende, Sara Funatake: They said that they are not from the state of Idaho so they don’t really know what is going on. When they get those speeches of what is going on, they can know what is going and be involved in the university. On behalf of living on campus, it is really helpful to build a community within the apartments. Having people talk in the classes really helps because they often delete most of the emails. 6. Joshua Kon: He said that he is representing RHA and wanted to voice his enthusiasm to approve the Involvement Pyramid, getting involved, and getting your leaders involved and known. Senator Christiaens thanked him for coming. 7. Benjamin Harker, KISU: He said that he would first like to thank everyone who supported KISU during November and asked that next semester everyone would become a little more involved with that cause. It is something everyone should be concerned with. International Affairs Council is working on the Frank Symposium. Meetings are Wednesday at noon in the Snake River room. Senators are encouraged to come to that and that is something that can go towards their requirements. He said he would also like to voice his support for the Involvement pyramid. He said he doesn’t necessarily support Resolutions 519 and 520 but this will influence the responsibilities going forward for this Senate term and future Senate terms. Senator Woodbury said there are specific issues with the resolutions: they are not written well because they are using the Constitution to justify the involvement pyramid. Second, the involvement pyramid should not be implemented in the Service Stipend Rule Book because there are going to be senators that do nothing more than is required. If we have certain senators with limited mobility they would not be able to accomplish the requirements on the involvement pyramid. Senator Doupé said she will be a part of the International Affairs Council next semester and Ben Harker is helping with KISU. The resolutions that he is talking about affects him as well. Ben said thanks to everyone who is supporting the show. That is specifically for you and he asks that everyone supports Senator Doupé in her endeavors. Senator Jensen said Senator Brock, Miklos, and Ward are supporting Movember. Also, thanks to Ben Harker for coming and talking. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE 1.

Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs, Lowell Richards, spoke in place of Val Davids from Student Organizations- He said Val was not feeling well tonight so she asked him to present the Nepalese Student Association. Sita Karki: Secretary of NSA said that they are updating their constitution, because their club size is getting bigger. They added two more positions to the club: two activity coordinators for taking care of events. She also said they wanted to add authorization for funds greater than $200 for funds approved by the clubs. Senator Mitu asked why they added two positions because all of the other clubs have only one activity coordinator. Karki said that ideally, one will be male and one will be female to get some more variety and so as not to be discriminatory. She said it is also for scheduling; if someone is really busy, there is a fall back person. Senator Brown asked if their club as a whole moved to approve these bylaws. She said that they had. Senator Doupé said that she really likes the idea. MOVE TO APPROVE CONSTIUTIONAL CHANGES. Doupé/ Brown. Unanimous. MOTION CARRIED. OLD BUSINESS 1. Bill 398-Contingency Fund.

ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT SENATE SESSION XLV TERM I IN THE SENATE RESOLUTION 518 BY GARRETT GUNDRY, DIVISION OF HEALTH SCIENCES SPONSORED BY ANDRES ZAMORA, COLLEGE OF ARTS & LETTERS The purpose of this resolution is to support the changes in grammar & content, document title, position titles, as well as the elimination of ASISU positions that no longer exist or are no longer ASISU student government positions in the Rule Book, and updating of responsibilities and duties that have occurred in recent years. WHEREAS: There have been changes in content from the old ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book. For example, instead of: “Complete monthly checklist and return it to the chair 5 days prior to the end of the month.” “Complete monthly checklist and return it to the Chief of Staff when required to.” There have also been changes in grammar. For example, the word “duties” was misspelled a few times. WHEREAS: The name of the document should be the “ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book” (as stated in the bylaws) instead of the “ASISU Stipend Rule Book.” WHEREAS: Many titles of ASISU positions have changed since the writing of the first ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book—for example: “Finance Committee Chair Officer” is now “Finance Officer” and “ASISU General Manager” in the context of this Rule Book is now “ASISU Chief of Staff.” WHEREAS: Certain positions in the old ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book are no longer ASISU student government appointed positions—for example, “Bengal newspaper staff”, or “Program Board Coordinator”(currently SAB director). WHEREAS: Certain positions in the old ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book no longer exist; for example, the College of Technology President. WHEREAS: Changes in responsibilities of ASISU positions from the old Service Stipend Rule Book have occurred. For example, it is no longer the Finance Officer’s responsibility to “organize a service project.” Also, it is now a requirement for several ASISU positions to maintain a minimum of 12 credit hours, rather than just 8 credit hours required in the old ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED: We, the Associated Students of Idaho State University, fully support the changes made to the ASISU Service Stipend Rule Book in: grammar, update content, title, and responsibility, as well as the elimination of ASISU positions that no longer exist/are not ASISU positions.
