	A. Graber - Moves $119 to be spent on the Rec Center birthday no later than September 30, 2007. 
		- Hayes - Likes the idea of having a history of what Senate has done available on the table with the cake and punch.
		- Mozaffar - Isn't it ironic that we are giving cake and punch to people at the rec. 
		- Graber - This will be a week long event. The cake will be out on wednesday the 12th. 
		- Approved.
	B. Szewczyk - Moves that $600 be spent no later than October 18, 2007 for the Joint Rally/Concert for the bike co-op with the SAB.
		- Szewczyk - the SAB would like to see our commitment to this event before they move forward with it. Does not anticipate that the entire $600 will be spent.
		- Wisa - This isn't going to violate any double funding issues is it? We can't have money for an event coming from different areas of the activities fee. 
		- Szewczyk - There has never been a collarborative event between to student organizations to put on an event. 
		- Wisa - SAB has more funding than we do. Having issues because we also decided not to fund Homecoming. We already said we support this issue. Leaning towards yes.
		- Wiley - This will bring awareness to the bike co-op. It will kick it off with a big bang. This should attract people who know nothing about the bike co-op. Do you have any further details?
		- Szewczyk - The tenative date is October 12 and will be held on the quad. There is an indoor date scheduled for the 17th in the SUB Down Under. Working with SAB to find bands. 
			Thinking of a possible bike give-away as an incentive.
		- Wiley - What will be the bike co-ops role in this event.
		- Szewczyk - They would act as the faces of the bike co-op it would be great if they could also do something similar to what they did at the Activities Fair in the way of fixing flats etc. They
			would also like to help advertise through handing out flyers and hanging posters. 
		- Wisa - How will the bike be given away?
		- Szewczyk - The bike co-op would like to assemble a bike out of spare parts and raffle it off.
		- Wiley - The bike co-op is assembling and trying to decide how to approach the semester. Trying to find a space for the co-op on campus. 
		- Esfeld - Likes the idea of working with SAB because we can learn a lot from them. At first glance, she likes the money motion but doesn't feel shes had enough time to think it over. 
		- Dr. Alberts - We can't give money to something FAC find unworthy. 
		- Mozaffar - This is something we have supported from the very beginning. Most people here are very adament about taking money motions to the students and asking them about it. 
		- Szewczyk - This all came about after the Executive Committee meeting. We need to get moving with this. Labels it as urgent.
		- Russel - You don't have to purchase a bike because Howard collects all bikes that are left after move out. 
		- Szewczyk - Hopes that the winner of the raffle would donate the bike back to the co - op. Planning on splitting the cost half and half with SAB. 
		- Approved. 
VIII. First Readings
IX. Discussion Items
	A. Wisa - Student Health Center
		- Wisa - One of the nurse practitioners that used to work at the SHC left before school started. The SHC is trying to attract someone new. There is only one full time practitioners so it may be
			hard to get an appointment. Any horror stories or have questions?
		- Hadley - What is the story with the crutching class? 
		- Wisa - If someone needs an ace wrap, we charge them $5. If they need crutching lessons, it is free. Crutches cost $5 a week.

		- Slavina - They aren't good at time management.
		- Wisa - The SHC is not an emergency room.
		- Graber - Last semester we talked about a fee for cancelling appointments.
		- Wisa - Hasn't heard anymore about it.
