Guest Speakers:
Frank Bartlett
Frank came to the assembly to ask our opinions of the set up in the lounge rooms in the new Res. Hall building. There was the option of three tables with four chairs each or two tables with four chairs each and two over sized chairs with two end tables. The group decided that two tables with four chairs each and two oversized chairs with two end tables would be the better option. Frank also asked for the opinion of ordering chairs with a two-point rock or a three-point rock. Robby Grzegorzewski motioned for a vote and was seconded by Jennifer Larson. With a vote of 14 yes, 11 no, and 7 abstained; 3pt chairs will be ordered. Frank also informed the assembly that mid-October, the room assignment website would be open for students to apply to live in the new resident hall. The cost to live in the new suite-style dorm rooms would be about $2,400 per semester. Frank also offered to take groups of 25 people to tour the new building.
