I. Call to Order

��

II. Special Business

·���������� KHDX Selection Process – Process to selecting bands: usually what happens we try toss up ideas and find bands that are popular with the budget. Usually a facebook group for suggestions is created and then they try to work with the response. Traditionally we have a vote for the spring concert – usually has nothing to do with contacting the bands because they usually do it before contacting bands, and then they can’t. “WE” – with tonya hale and khdx staff – usually make the decision. Trying to get quotes can be very trying for they have to wait to hear back from the manager’s band and then we have to wait for tonya’s approval- however she is involved heavily. But don’t worry money isn’t the only criteria, but it is hard to get popular bands – because they are out of budget. There is no definite answer to who the concert in the spring will be.

III. Announcements and Constituent Concerns

·���������� Why front street for water and village doesn’t? Village and ���ϲ����� Corner doesn’t pay water because they are one mane. But Karla will look into a more detailed response!

·���������� Ashtrays outside the houses please!

·���������� THEFT? We leave our items outside the caf hoping they trusting they are safe, however sometimes they aren’t. There is nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you don’t trust your peers leave your personal belongings in your car or at your living space. But if you are stealing others personal belongings – STOP. It is unnecessary and rude.

·���������� Expand the nurse department? It is something the Administration is talking about, expanding hours. But at this point we don’t have the proper space to house another nurse on duty however they are working on a proposal. (:

IV. Departmental Liaison Reports

·���������� Recycling bin for Hardin – they looked at it, but they didn’t see an immediate need.

·���������� Parking spots – sent someone to couch circle, but no response just yet.

DISCRETIONARY!

Request for Discretionary Funds

Prepared by: Environmental Concerns Committee- Emily Canon and Katherine Dennis

��

Organization Name: Environmental Concerns Committee

Requesting: $5,304.20

��

For: Speaker Josh Fox, director and creator of GasLand

��

When and where this event will occur: Worsham, next semester

��

Master Calendar Confirmation: Dependent on Josh Fox’s schedule

��

Details: We want to show the movie GasLand about natural gas drilling. This is a pertinent issue to the students at ���ϲ����� and the community of Conway. Many landowners are being affected by natural gas drilling, because it has very detrimental affects to the land and basically renders the land worthless. In order to have a balanced event, we fell it is necessary to have a panel discussion after the screening. Josh Fox will bring insight to this topic, and hopefully draw many community members to the college. Josh will also attend up to three classes to lecture on this issue including a film studies and sociology class. This issue affects all of Arkansas, and we see the event not only as a service to the student body but also the greater community. Other panel members will potentially include an Arkansas landowner, Mayor Townsell, a representative from Southwestern Energy, Gerard Matthews (a journalist who has been following this issue in Arkansas), and the Mayor of Dish, TX (who is featured in the film). The ECC will pay for the film rights and Josh’s food and lodging.
