III. Project Reports

a. Jon got in touch with the cable person- it would be $700 for DirecTV to put in one cable TV in each dorm
b. The school would have to go through Comcast instead of DirecTV due to structural problems; Will and Scott spoke with Tom Tritton and Joe Tolliver and they are concerned that the TV will be competing with social life, but they are open to putting TV’s in public non-dorm places such as the Sunken Lounge. Claire said that it is important to have cable so that students can be informed about what is going on in the world; so that students could watch the news.
c. James met with Robin Doan and he said that they are planning on redoing Comfort Lounge in two phases so that now it would just become a lounge and later on it will be renovated better. They will put in new furniture now, but all the things in there have to be moved first. Typed formal proposal that will be given to the deans.

IV. HCCF – Haverford College Concert Federation

a. A new concert series has been developed so that budgeting would be more fare. Next semester one lump-sum budget will be given to the group, and the concert heads will work together to bring in more diverse concerts at different times throughout the semester. Each group will be guaranteed $1000. All concert heads will come together to decide who Newpoint brings in to play at Haverfest. Next semester will be a trial semester.

V. Board Meetings

a. Will spoke about making a presentation to increase the SC budget. Things are running smoothly this year, but SC would like more money to put on a bigger concert or money to increase Amy Ham’s budget. Amy would have a “lock-box” to sponsor a big event, such as a concert or Haverfest, money would be guaranteed. Scott said that our peer institutions spend more money per student then Haverford does, even though their endowments are smaller. Many small colleges bring in bands such as Guster, Roots and Live. Beth mentioned concern that spending more money may cause problems with Financial Aid. Heather mentioned that money can be taken from somewhere else. A concert could be put on next semester, but students would have to pay roughly $10 in order for it to be possible. Heather asked about the Tri-Co throwing a concert for everyone.

VI. Dorm Rep. Thoughts

a. Heidi mentioned that the Security Committee will be meeting with Bryn Mawr to discuss compatibility with the card access entry.
b. Heidi mentioned that there are students who are frustrated with the lack of Jazz interest and accessibility on campus.
c. Claire mentioned that JSAAPP wanted to know if the small party fund still existed. The fund and group no longer exists. JSAAPP wants to put together a flyer how to put together an event.
d. Greg and David met with Robin Doan about different halls having different things. They asked about putting working microwaves and hand-dryers on each floor. No new hand-dryers or water fountains will be put in, but microwaves will be looked at, to see if they all have rotating-plates. Lauren mentioned that paper-towels should be in each bathroom, to allow people to dry their hands. Joe said that more hooks should be put in the bathroom so that people can leave their hand towels in the bathroom to dry their hands. Scott said to speak with physical plant.
e. Elizabeth asked about the comment board, and leaving items up longer. Scott said that things can be left up, as long the as the board is not over-crowded.
f. Jon C. asked about putting the ping-pong table in Gummere basement and also its need for furniture.
g. If you have an idea to better your dorm, contact your dorm rep!
