Proposals
Catherine Dinius, AS Clubs Coordinator, proposed $1,500 for club funding following this week’s club funding proposal night. Out of the 60 clubs on campus, 41 asked for funds. Due to a shortened budget of $21,000, compared to $25,000 for last year’s spring semester, Dinius requested additional funds for each club that asked for funding.
Shaylynn Knuppe, social events coordinator, proposed $570 to fund 19 tickets for the Newsies musical at the Pantages theatre in Hollywood on April 16. Knuppe currently has enough funding for 31 tickets. The event would have 50 available tickets for students priced at $15 each.
Knuppe also proposed $2,000 for the Spring Banquet event at Ebell of LA on April 17. The event would include dinner and swing dancing taught by a local dancing company.
South Horton senator, Samantha Miller, a sophomore public relations major, proposed $300.50 for a petting zoo on March 24 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. The event would take place on the lawn between the library and the health center, and would feature an alpaca, mini horse or a mini cow, sheep, a mini pig, bunnies, guinea pigs, a tortoise and a variety of ducks, chickens and geese. After last year’s success with therapy puppies, the library wanted to encourage students with a fun event while studying for midterms.
R.J. Winans, senior biblical studies and journalism major and director of 6th Street PR, proposed $1,700 for a professional networking event with the LA Kings hockey team. The event would include two sessions with vice presidents of the LA Kings, followed by an LA Kings hockey game. Winans proposed funding for 25 tickets, and the event would be open to journalism, marketing and public relations majors.
