Library MINUTES OF STUDENT COUNCIL 4:35 P.M. Whurs. Jan. 14, 1954 The special meeting of the Student Council was called to order by the president, Jim Addy. The oral calling of the roll and reading of the minutes was dispensed with. Discussion was held about the MAA Dance to be held this Saturday night, January 16, 1954. Certain questions were asked concerning the issues: 1. Has the SGA financially assisted the MAA Dance before this year? Ans. Yes. Before this year the money was taken out of the Dance Fund. As the Dance Fund was dissolved the allocations wre given to the classes and organizations after their budget requests were submitted and approved. Through an oversight the MAA neglected to submit a request for the dance. Last year they received $125. for the dance. 2. Why the increase from $125. to $160.? Ans. Last year the orchestra only cost $75; this year it costs $100. This year it is required to have coat check people ($10.) and a parking attendant. 3. How much money do organizations usually get for dances? Ans. $195. - May Day Dance and Christmas Dance ( semi-formal) $165. - freshman and Sophomore Class Dances ( semi-formal) $150 - Tower Light Dance ( informal ) 4. Why was the contract signed before being approved by the Student Council? Ans. In most all cases the contracts are signed ahead of time with the stipulation that the contracts are invalid until approved by the Student Council. 5. Does the MAA plan to give favors? Ans. No. They are hoping that some other organization will do this. Irene Paul made a motion that the Student Council give the MAA $160 for their informal dance to be held Jan. 16, 1954.
