Student Space - Scott discussed the furniture in Lunt Basement. Does SC still want to financially support the project. James added that Comfort doesn’t really have a basement and would like to rearrange the storage space to create a Student Space. Heather remarked that she does not think nice furniture should be placed in an area where alcohol will be consumed. Scott announced that Gummere basement will still be refurnished. Elizabeth added that Lunt Café is sufficient and that many people may not use new furniture. Chris (reporting for the Bi-Co) chimed in that new lighting is necessary. Heidi and Claire would like a study area in the basement of 30 where the Computer Lab is located. The Computer lab should also be advertised. It would be nice to add a student lounge in Apartment 30. Scott concluded that HCA and Comfort may be better initiatives then Lunt basement. Scott said that it will be discussed when the BOM comes and would like to take them on a tour to show them some of the spaces that need to be re-done. A bathroom will be added in Lunt Basement.

Budgeting for “Athletic Clubs” - Hockey team received money from the athletic department, Crew did not. The treasurers believe that they need financial support from the Athletic department. Elizabeth wanted to know if a Plenary resolution can be added to get more varsity athletic teams.

Washer and dryer reports for each building are being given to Scott and be given to Robin Doan..

Jon met with Coke contractor and we will be working out a new Coke contract for the next five years. We want to work out problems so that machines are always filled and plugged in and keep inventory. Will and Jon were talking about making the Coke representative an appointed three year position instead of a yearly Dorm Rep position.

Second Semester Concert Ideas- Want to get a donor to pay for concert. Lauren read off a list of bands people requested that we bring in. Will and Scott would like to provide a wish-list for the BOM in order to possibly get donations for the concerts. Scott said that tickets would probably be sold to the community, with first priority given to Haverford Students, estimated price is $10.

Tom King spoke about Safety and Security. New security website has been set up. Card access implementation before Alumni Weekend this summer. All students will obtained a card next year for access to dorms, labs, dining, library, bookstore, vending machines, etc. Card access needed for increased student convenience and security. Tom wants to create a Safety and Security committee composed of students and try to organize campus wide meetings in Marhsall. Replacement Cards will cost less then replacing keys. There is a possibility that each individual dorm room will have an individual swipe card, definitely in the future Comcast has contacted Tom because students have been tapping into cable boxes and stealing cable. Cable theft is a felony! Considering types of audible alarms to use with propped doors.

Dorm Rep Thoughts - Elizabeth said that the VCR doesn’t work in Barclay, it should be sent to AV. Dorm Reps will continue to post minutes. Joe asked about the plumbing situation in the North Dorms including Jones, and brought up the point that only 25% of the microwaves work. Elizabeth asked about Coop Points, Scott added that it will be brought up with the BOM and explained the way it may possibly work. Elizabeth added that students up campus should be allowed to be on a partial meal plan, the Coop Points would allow for this. Claire asked about getting a bookstore accound in Lunt Basement, Andrew added that students running the café are looking into the situation. Heather wanted to know if book store account could be used in the Coop and combine the two. Claire spoke about trying to get 20 meals a week to be used at any time, instead of one at each sitting. Josh asked about the quality of the toilet paper. James asked about the reason Comfort has no laundry.
