• Submission forms will be available next week – the submission deadline is 3/31

• Andrew proposed that instead of a contest we hold a “character smash” where artists could collaborate to build a mascot character – he said that Jeff Jackson would be willing to help moderate such a process
• Barb pointed out that our mascot need not be a dragon so long as the student body supports it
• Andrew said he would try to organize a character smash event sometime soon, possibly at lunch time

• Barb presented Andy’s proposal to do a mural of the nerdy dragon somewhere on campus and asked where it should go
• Brody thought it should go on a wall that doesn’t yet have a mural on it, rather than paint over an old one
• Andrew suggested the back wall of the Student Lounge behind the foosball table
• Several students expressed that ASB wanted the ability to approve or veto mural content
• Barb pointed out that this was contrary to what they had said when last this topic was discussed

Minutes from 2/21/08

meeting was called to order By Andrew Jennings.

· Andrew proposed providing incentives for people to volunteer in the ASB Office

o He proposed offering a free sweatshirt each semester and a 25% discount on all office supplies sold out of the office

o Barb pointed out that ASB doesn’t pay for the sweatshirts, Student Life does, but agreed to cover the cost for one sweatshirt for each volunteer, but only once, not every semester

o Tyler recommended that volunteers have their choice between a sweatshirt or another article of clothing

o Tyler made a motion to provide ASB Office volunteers with one free article of clothing when they start and a 25% discount on office supplies sold out of the office for as long as they volunteer

o The motion passed

· Barb reviewed the campus posting policy and the new campus selling policy

o The policies will be included in the Student Handbook next year, and will also be available in the Student Life Office

o The policies are also attached to these minutes

· Tony wanted to discuss ASB funding of murals around the school

o He wasn’t happy with the mural that replaced the purple dragon and asked that students seeking ASB funding for mural projects be required to submit sketches before getting approved

o Andrew pointed out that standard procedure has been for students to submit sketches to ASB as well as the space planning committee

o Tyler did not feel that the mural that was painted matched the one that was originally proposed

o Barb clarified that ASB does not have the authority to decide which murals may or may not be painted around the school

o Andrew agreed but also noted that if ASB does not approve of a mural they should not have to fund it

o Barb asked whether the school needs a different mural approval process

o Andrew preferred that ASB withhold the right not to reimburse for murals which do not match designs submitted when funding was originally requested

· Steve gave us an update on this weekend’s PC Game Night

Thanks to everyone who attended. See you next week J
