ViCE President Peter Denny ’10: “Collaboration initiatives this semester have been great. We’re making a stronger effort to work with more organizations, especially ones that give back to the community.” For an example, Denny cites the Grizzly Bear concert last month which partnered with the Hunger Action group, which raised $200.

The motion to allocation $4000 from the Council Discretionary Fund to ViCE passes.

The motion to allocate $1000 from the New Organizations Fund to Ballroom Dance passes.

The motion to allocate $1280 from Speakers, Lecturers Fund to MEChA passes.

7:38 | Activities moves to decertify the Water Polo team

“The organization is no longer active, really,” said Activities. The team is in debt, and the Presidents  did not turn in their organization report or organization contract and “haven’t been great in upkeeping communications,” noted Activities.  The current president of Water Polo did not attend the Council Meeting. 2010 added that she “spoke with the President last night and he said to go ahead [and decertify it].” The motion passes unanimously.
