V.	Old Business/ Action Items
VI.		A. Kirtland - Resolution 071.007 Athletics Facilities Fee. Discussion ensued.
VII.				- Kappel - Completely supports this resolution except for one clause... spending no more than $500 supporting the fee ballot initiative. Does not believe Senate should use student's 			money to advertise this. Conflict of interest if we take a stance on this issue.
VIII.				- Esfeld - Would rather it be reworded to say spend no more than $500 to educate the students on the athletics fee.
IX.				- Crawford - Moves as a friendly amendment that the wording be changed to spending no more than $500 to educate the student.
X.				- Kirtland - Does not accept it as a friendly amendment. Would like to see Senate support the athletics fee in our advertising because we would be putting out there what we support 			within Arete. It is appropriate to actively support this to the students.
XI.				- Alberts- One thing we have done in the past is to set aside a ceratin amount of money so a senator that is against the issue can advertise the other side to the students.
XII.				- Kappel - Why are we going to put it as a ballot initiative if we are going to try to influence their vote?
XIII.				- Kessler - Educating students is apporpriate to use the general budget. Please include line numbers in resolutions.
XIV.				- Hadley - Fine to publicize both sides of the issue but may be confusing to students to have both sides coming from Senate. We already said we support it in Arete, so it makes sense 			to spend money from the general budget.
XV.				- Kirtland - Yields time to student athletes.
XVI.				- Sarah (women's golf) - Would appreciate your backing on this issue because it would effect the entire student population.
XVII.				- Josh (men's swimming) - Ventilation system in the pool is horrible. There is a constant cloud of chlorine over the pool. If this is fixed, more people would be more likely to use the 			pool.
XVIII.				- Kirtland - The best part of this is that it affects all students and so many student organizations will benefit. Please get student feedback before the elections.
XIX.				- Kappel - Would any athletes be willing to spend money from the athletics department budget to advertise this?
XX.				- Wolmering - We definitely plan on putting ads in the Index and other means. 
XXI.				- Kappel - Strongly thinks that Senate should support this but spending student's money will compromise the election.
XXII.				- Wolmering - Could you transfer us the money so we could have funds to advertise both sides?
XXIII.				- Hadley - If money is coming from student government or student athletics it is student money either way. We should pass this and move on.
XXIV.				- Antey - We supported this in Arete. We should put our money where our mouth is. If we have forums students will know what they are voting for. Student's can develop their own 			opinions and these forums would be informational.
XXV.				- Russell - Whats wrong with taking money out of the agency budget?
XXVI.				- Kirtland - There are restrictions on how student money could be spent. This budget is for those expenses and should be saved for that.
XXVII.			- Schulte - We have a major publicity problem. We should give students the 
XXVIII.			- Passes 15-0-2
XXIX.			B. Esfeld - Resolution 071.008 on extended course description
XXX.				- Esfeld - The biggest difference from last week is the Therefore be it resolved clause. Biggest concern is making it appealing to faculty so it can pass Faculty Senate.
XXXI.				- Gerhart - Change line 34-36 to survey data gathered from students who completed the course that strictly measures objectively
XXXII.			- Kessler - What type of questions are you planning on using (as far as course requirements)?
XXXIII.			- Wiley - You talked about ITS handling these surveys. If you include this into the resolution that it will be done electronically by students, this might hinder it less. 
XXXIV.			- Schulte - Don't include ITS name because they might not support this.
XXXV.			- Esfeld - Questions : The concepts of this class were predominantly presented by... Was the professor readily available during office hours? Points were generally dervide from... My 			grade was primarily based on... 
XXXVI.			- Kessler - Important to make sure that all of the questions are objective. 
XXXVII.			- Poindexter - Do we need to put something in the resolution that links it to those questions or how will the faculty know about them?
XXXVIII.			- Esfeld - Will have the questions readily available to the Faculty Senate.
XXXIX.			- Alberts - This resolution asks the University to do it. A few years ago a similar resolution asked the senate to do it. 
XL.				- Passes 16-0-0
XLI.			C. Khan - Resolition 071.009 in Support of the Increase in the Bright Flight Scholarship
XLII.				- Khan - Only changes made were line 34 and removed the 2.0 GPA requirement because that is Truman's requirement
XLIII.				- Poindexter - Great resolution that we should support.
XLIV.				- Kappel - Friendly amendment to include wording supporting bills like House Bill 250. Makes more sense to ask them to support something specific.
XLV.				- Hill - Is there a specific version of House Bill 250? Do you have anything more specific on this bill?
XLVI.				- Kappel - We could say house bill 250 read on January 4, 2007.
XLVII.			- Khan - Does not accept as a friendly amendment. Feels there is no point to it. If you have to qualify HB250 by a certain date it is still not direct.
XLVIII.			- Kappel - moves as a regular amendment (insert on line 38 such as house bill 250)
XLIX.					- Kappel - bill changes the $2,000 to $4,000. It is easier to go down there and say that we support a bill that is coming up in the house. This allows them to see which HB 				deals with bright flight. Wants TSU to go on record as supporting this bill. It needs to be included in the resolution for this to be done.
L.					- Lina - Does not like the idea of including such and such date.
LI.					- Kappel - amendment did not include date.
LII.					- Lina - accepts amendment. 
LIII.				- Passes 16-0-0
VI.	Money Motions
VII.		A. Wisa - Moves that 50% of the rollover budget from the 06-07 school year be transfered to the FAC for use in the Spring 2008 semester. This money will be spent no later than August 27th, 		2007.
VIII.				- Schulte - This is something that we should discuss. We should go through another budget initiative or the OAF which is next year.
IX.				- Wiley - Giving extra money to FAC might be good. Student Senate is an open forum whereas the FAC is not and students do not have a say in how money is spent.
X.				- Kirtland - FAC does not want more money because they are good at offering other opportunities to organizations. This should go to a student vote. Only way to suppor this is to give 			half of the roll over to the FAC and Senate does not support 
XI.				- Kessler - FAC has enough money. Last year they rolled over close to $10,000. Giving our money to them won't help anything. The bigger problem is that they only give out money 			two times each year and it is hard for organizations to be ready by those dates. They should look into giving money more than twice a year.
XII.				- Kappel - Personal experiences with FAC left his organization with only 2/3 of their requested money because FAC did not have enough to fund them fully. Moved to refer to Student 			Affairs committee.
XIII.					- Wisa - withdraws motion.
XIV.				- Alberts - moves that Student Affairs takes over researching giving money to organizations.
XV.					- Alberts - It would be good to have a policy about this working between the diversity committee and the SOCC.
XVI.					- Kirtland - Friendly amends that there is research into how Senate spends its money in regards to the FAC.
XVII.					- Russell - Would like to see student affairs also address how senate should spend its money. The problem is there is not consitency between how senate spends its money. It 				is important to come out with a statement about how senate should and should not spend its money.
XVIII.					- Crawford - It is not student affairs place to decide how senate spends its money.
XIX.					- Kessler - It is not student affiars job to decide how senate spends its money in general but it could make a policy as to how student senate gives money to organization.
XX.					- Approved.
XXI.		B. Wiley - Moves that student senate spend $941.75 on Earth Week activities no later than april 28, 2007.
XXII.				- Wiley - under appendix B
XXIII.				- Poindexter - Will the tshirts be purchased by committee members?
XXIV.				- Wiley - it is tradition that these tshirts be given to committee members at the expense of student senate.
XXV.				- Poindexter - Treasurer Kessler, is this proper use of senate funds?
XXVI.				- Kessler - It has been tradition of senate not to provide tshirts to senators or its committees. It would be ok to purchase them and give them away as prizes but not to give them to the 			planning committee. 
XXVII.			- Poindexter - Does not want this to be like senate is giving away free tshirts. Whenever senate does tshirts for itself, senators had to buy them. It isnt right to give tshirts away in this 			manner.
XXVIII.			- Wiley - Last week we discussed who would and would not be getting the tshirts. Tshirts will be used as an advertising tool. Committee members will  be wearing tshirts up until the 			day of the event. The schedule will be on the back of the tshirt.
XXIX.				- Poindexter - Arete tshirts were an advertisment but we all paid for them.
XXX.				- Kappel - Will pay for his tshirt.
XXXI.				- Kessler - What we said last week that applied to ECO also applied to the planning committee. Ok with everything except for the 9 tshirts. Has SAB approved the movie license?
XXXII.			- Wiley - It was approved last thursday. Science division will  be helping with advertising.
XXXIII.			- Siebert - What exactly is a terrapass?
XXXIV.			- Wiley - The money given to the company is applied to projects that facilitate a carbon free lifestyle. Will not directly affect Truman dorms but it is moving towards a cleaner 				environment. This would be a better prize than a piece of candy.
XXXV.			- Siebert - If ECO members are going to be buying tshirts, why can't ECO support these terrapasses?
XXXVI.			- Wiley - Crawford stated that it was traditional for Senate to fund earthweek tshirts.
XXXVII.			- Siebert - This would be a better project for ECO in which a profit could be turned. If these terrapasses do not directly affect our campus it is not a reasonable expense.
XXXVIII.			- Wiley - Terrapasses are an educational tool. Most people dont understand how their lifestyles affect the environment. Last year, senate funded lollipops as a prize and they had no 			direct effect on campus environment.
XXXIX.			- Russell - The terrapasses goes along with out mission. The theme of earthweek is lessening your footprint. This is not a philanthropy because we are buying something even though it 			is not tangible. You will be actively aiding in reducing your impact on the environment.
XL.				- Kappel - One of the reasons why ECO does not buy and make shirts because other organizations are involved on campus. Terrapasses are 5/$30 a piece. We could buy giftcards to 			walmart but these would support our theme.
XLI.				- Wiley - Ameren UE does not have any wind energy pursuits.
XLII.				- Alberts - You should decide whether or not you want to do this because you can do this. There is nothing in your mission or university policy that says you can't. Do you support this 			stuff? There is a giant budget for this week and they will spend it how they see fit. 
XLIII.				- Kirtland - The terrapasses are fine they are a prize. In the future ECO or some other organization should be involved in selling the tshirts. Student senate does not support selling 			tshirts and making a profit.
XLIV.				- Poindexter - Calls the question.
XLV.				- Approved.
XLVI.		C. Meyer - Moves $150 from the SOCC budget to be spent on publicity for Phi Sigma Pi week, no later than April 1, 2007.
XLVII.			-Meyer - This is campus wide and follows the SOCC mission. This would be for posters and a banner.
XLVIII.			- Kirtland - Will senate's name be on the posters as in Sponsered by Student Senate?
XLIX.				- Schulte - Should this be supported by Senate or the SOCC? 
L.				- Approved.
LI.		D. Mozaffar - Moves to spend $630 for campus diversity as itemized on the attached sheet.
LII.				- Mozaffar - Approached organizations to do these events. We have to purchase licences to show movies on campus.	
LIII.				- Kessler - Will posters and table tents be the same thing? $200 for both of them will be enough.
LIV.				- Mozaffar - reduces money motion to $430.
LV.				- Approved.
LVI.		E. Kappel - Moves no more than $50.00 to be spent on transportation to Jefferson City no later than March 1st, 2007.
LVII.				- Approved.
LVIII.	 F. Pierson - Moves that no more than $200 be spent no later than March 22nd 2007 on election publicity materials.
LIX.				- Approved.
LX.	     G. Kessler on behalf of Hadley - moves that no more than $716 be spent on newsletter inserts. $256 being spent on printing and $460 being spent on inserting. This money shall be spent no later 		than March 31st, 2007.
LXI.				- Kessler - This will be a circulation of 4500 copies of the Index including inserts. Does not plan on inserting future newsletters but it will better advertise this to the students.
LXII.				- Poindexter - kills 2 birds with one stone because it gets the word out there and uses some of our excess money.
LXIII.		H. Kessler on behalf of Hadley - moves that no more than $1,000 be spent on the 2007 Vision Outreach Dinner. This money shall be spent no later than March 31st, 2007.
LXIV.				- Poindexter - Who is invited and how many invitations?
LXV.				- Crawford - All faculty and staff and possibly students.
LXVI.				- Schulte - An itemized list would be beneficial.
LXVII.			- Poindexter - Would like to postpone this money motion one week until our next meeting.
LXVIII.				-Poindexter - Like Schulte said we need to keep everyone to the same standards. An itemized list would do this.
LXIX.					- Kessler - We won't have a meeting for a while and this will be the 2nd week we return. She needs to take care of invitations and posters now.
LXX.					- Poindexter - removed motion
LXXI.				- Kirtland - Moves that an itemized list be brought to the next meeting. Pass it tonight.
LXXII.			- Passes.  
VII.	First Readings
VIII.		A. Schulte- Moves a first reading for Resolution 071.010 in support of Academic Restructuring.
IX.				- Crawford - moves to suspend standing rules to vote on this tonight.
X.					- Crawford - If we are not ready to vote on it tonight that is fine. It is important that we take an official stance now because there will be a lot flying in the next few weeks so 				we can refer to a resolution and take a stance. Good starting place for students as opposed to rumors from what faculty say in their classrooms.
XI.					- Wisa - We should vote on this tonight.
XII.					- Gerhart - We should hold off because it was just this friday that the report came out. Not sure what the student opinion is at this point and voting tonight is too early.
XIII.					- Poindexter - There is no way for us to tell how this will play out within the next week. We are just making assumptions with this resolution.
XIV.					- Alberts - Would like to have a first reading of this resolution and decide to vote on it at the end?
XV.					- Crawford - withdraws motion.
XVI.				- Hill - First impression was that it looked pretty good. Everything seems streamlined. Developing concerns about communications department. Informed earlier that a similar attempt 			on this type of plan was attempted 13 years ago and this did not go through.
XVII.				- Wisa - Be it further resolved friendly amendment to not allow faculty to... Feels it is a good resolution and states what needs to happen. Personally supports president's decision.
XVIII.				- Siebert - Concerned that this resolution seems to be doing two things at once. One: we support the restructuring. Two: faculty should not be criticizing thre president and should 			concentrate on doing their jobs. It seems to be saying that faculty members will be unable to keep personal opinions out of their classrooms. This may come across as insulting 			to faculty.
XIX.				- Schulte - This is stating that we don't want this to be the focus in the classrooms. If you have a better way of wording it, it will be welcome.
XX.				- Esfeld - Confused about how this will find more qualified candidates?
XXI.				- Schulte - There will be specific and clear hierarchy to attract people to positions.
XXII.				- Kiddoo- Last year they changed division heads to deans and made advertising easier.
XXIII.				- Kirtland - moves a friendly amendmenr to remove lines 35,36,37 and lines 6-7 on the second page.
XXIV.					- Kirtland - the intent of this is to support the president's decision in its entirity. 
XXV.					- Kessler - Passing a resolution stating that faculty shouldnt discuss this is not a good idea.	
XXVI.					- Schulte - It says that they should not discuss this in the classroom.
XXVII.				- Poindexer - Too strong of terms and detracts from the overall resolution. 
XXVIII.				- Kirtland - Wants discussion to occur in the classroom. We should educate students so they can intelligently discuss this with their professors.
XXIX.					- Siebert - Chairwoman Schulte, would AA be willing to organize a debate over the restructuring? Very educational for the students.
XXX.					- Schulte - Will discuss it with her committee.
XXXI.					- Kappel - Supports this amendment.
XXXII.				- Alberts - Changing the tone is more important than eliminating it totally. The BOG code of policy is to try and move discussion forward. It should be relevant and should 				further education.
XXXIII.				- Crawford - It specifically says that this should not detract from the classroom. Had a professor tell her that the restructuring would distract from his teaching. The intent of this 				is only to allow this to be brought into the classroom in a relevant manner without teaching suffering.
XXXIV.				- Poindexter - It is erronious to suggest that if we pass this any professors will listen to it. All it will do is offend faculty. 
XXXV.				- Kessler - I know that some have had a bad experience in the classroom but we should pass a resolution first stating we support the restructuring as it is and make a separate 				resolution to the faculty.
XXXVI.				- Approved.
XXXVII.			- Hogan - What did the structure look like before the restructuring?
XXXVIII.			- Alberts - There are 8 divison heads currently. Now they are being consolidated. There will be 19 departments instead of divisions. This makes us more standard. 
XXXIX.			- Kiddoo - Part of the reasoning behind restructuring is that it will make tenure and promotion more uniform across the campus.
XL.				- Wiley - How does this affect students learning wise?
XLI.				- Kiddoo - Faculty say that this will affect students because faculty will be promoted to department chairs and they will be spending less time in the classroom.
XLII.				- Poindexter - Friendly amends to strike lines 17-19. Will not vote for this.
XLIII.				- Kessler - Governor Kiddoo, how will this make tenure more uniform?
XLIV.				- Kiddoo - This is something they are working on with implementation. We have been struggling with tenure at the Higher Education Commission. Want to make sure that faculty have 			been treated equally and fairly.
XLV.				- Alberts - There will be a uniform guidline as to what each guideline is responsible for. This way each divison will have a set of guidelines for tenure. 
XLVI.				- Kessler - If it has not been adopted why are we putting this in our resolution? It could severly change between now and when it is adopted.
XLVII.			- Kiddoo - Would it be helpful to send out a picture of the current structure? Yes. 
XLVIII.			- Siebert - Moves to friendly amend the resolution to insert be it further resolved the student government encourages the University to take this restructuring plan as an opportunity to 			incorporate student assessment as a vital component in future decisions regarding faculty tenure and promotion ... Approved.
XLIX.				- Kirtland - Moves to suspend the standing rules to address this resolution tonight. 
L.				- Khan - Change wording in line... to make student assessment more uniform
LI.				- Kiddoo - We should just suppor this and then put out a resolution later saying do it our way.
LII.				- Seibert - If we simply pass a resolution stating the President Dixon is doing a great job is a waste of senate's time. We need to explain why it is a good thing because it may better 			support student interest. 
LIII.				- Gerhart - Dr Alberts, can you provide this body with information on the implementation team?
LIV.				- Alberts - President Dixon will appoint the team. 
LV.				- Passes 12-0-2
LVI.		B. Kirtland - Resolution 071.014 In Support of a Student Review Committee for the Recreation Center
LVII.				- Kirtland - This has been well received by the Dean and she is excited to work with this.
LVIII.				- Poindexter - Moves to limit discussion to no more than 10 mins. Not limited.
LIX.				- Crawford - A few gramatical corrections. Line 43 should it be selects or appoints? Not sure about having the director of the rec center being a voting member of the committee.
LX.				- Kirtland - Wants the committee to give direction to the rec center but does not want this committee to feel like the director's boss.
LXI.				- Alberts - This was students money. Its good that students are getting involved with the rec again through this committee. The bond will be paid off within the next few years and we 			will have to decide whether or not to keep the fee. Having a committee in place now will make that time easier.
LXII.				- Khan - Does the community have access to the rec center? Yes ($2.00 each visit)
LXIII.				- Kiddoo - Add in alumni to that bullet
VIII.	Discussion Items
IX.		A. Meyer - Moves discussion time on the SOCC constitution.
X.				- Siebert - moves to limit discussion to 10 minutes. Approved. 
XI.				- Poindexter - Still worried that it might be too biased in the way it selects organization membership.
XII.		B. Khan - moves discussion time on a possible resolution on the smoking ban.
XIII.				- Khan - would write a resolution in support of the smoking ban.
XIV.				- Siebert - Should not take a stance.
XV.				- Kirtland - this directly impacts all students and we should take a stand on it either way.
XVI.				- Poindexter - This does not effect students on campus because there is no smoking in any buildings on campus. This body is not the place to talk about politics that don't affect the 			campus directly.
XVII.				- Kiddoo - they talked about this in the BOG and wanted to know if senate would take a stance.
XVIII.				- Crawford - it is the purpose of external affairs to bring these issues before us. This does effect students when they leave campus.
XIX.				- Wisa - Mixed emotions. As a nursing student smoking is bad. People should have the right to direct their own healthcare. There is too much debate over one way or the other. If 			senate takes a stance, we are proclaiming the ideas of the entire campus. There are plenty of students who would be against this.	
XX.				- Kappel - We do speak on behalf of 6,000 students. He does not think you should smoke in restaurants and bars. If you are forcing people who have been drinking into the streets to 			smoke, are they more likely to be a hazard to the community.
XXI.				- Schulte - People should be able to make their own health choices but should not be exercised in public places when it effects the health of others.
XXII.				- Hill - Covered city council meeting to put this on the ballot. Taking a position may cause a riff between these business.
XXIII.				- Alberts - Not enough students vote. If you take a stance it might inspire students to vote. If you have more voter turn out you can gain a seat on the city council. If you think most 			students want to ban smoking you should support it.
XXIV.				- Khan - While we represent 6,000 students, issues we vote on are not quite as broad and controversial as the smoking ban. 
XXV.				- Kirtland - Moves that the external affairs committee brings a resolution in support of the smoking ban in restaurants at the next meeting.
XXVI.					- Poindexter - This is a waste of our time. We don't know if it effects the immediate campus community.
XXVII.				- Wisa - Senator Kirtland should bring the resolution personally instead of the EA.
XXVIII.				- Siebert- Moves to amend Kirtland's motion to have the EA committee bring a resolution in favor of the smoking ban and in opposition to the ban
XXIX.					- Wiley - Should not take a stance on a controversial issue.
XXX.					- Hogan - It does not matter what the resolution says as long as it inspires discussion in the senate. We can amend it later.
XXXI.					- Kappel - Can't decide whether to support or oppose the ban.
XXXII.				- Poindexter - If we have strong convictions we should go out and talk to students. If we support this we are headed down a path of taking a stance on other political ballot 				initiatives. 
XXXIII.				- Khan - Please send opinions to EA committee so its not EA making the decision.
XXXIV.				- Alberts - Could we do a quick survey of campus? Simple one question survey.
XXXV.				- Kappel - You would have to pass this resolution tonight inorder to inspire people to vote because the deadline to register to vote in kirksville is fast approaching.
XXXVI.				- Alberts - There will be a table to encourage people to register to vote in kirksville.
XXXVII.				- Approved. 
IX.	Other New Business
X.		A. Pierson - moves that senate endorse the election packet.
XI.				- Pierson - No tables on election day anywhere to make the rules more concise and clear.
XII.				- Mozaffar - Can you still campaign on election day? (Yes, just no tables). Is it ok to campaign with posters in computer labs? (Guidelines within the packet)
XIII.				- Pierson - Election days April (Tuesday and Wednesday)
XIV.				- Approved.
