· Meeting was called to order By Rebecca Fortelka.
· Andrew discussed retrofitting a MAME station
o The old Neo-Geo box currently residing in Game Club does not work due to the original owner taking several pieces of software and hardware
o Joey has volunteered to set it up as a MAME station, provided ASB pays for the parts to do so – he will not charge ASB for labor
o Cost is estimated between $150-$200
o Tobias and Brody discussed the legality of MAME games – some are legal, some are not
o Andrew stated that the machine would be free for all students to play, and could be installed in either the Student Lounge or the ASB Office
o Tobias also said that since the machine would essentially be a PC it would be able to run student developed games as well
o Brody wanted to know if Joey would be able to maintain the system in the event that it broke, Andrew said he probably would while he is still a student here
o Eric wanted the controllers to be retrofitted from four to six buttons
o Tobias proposed that ASB provide funds up to $200 for the conversion of the Neo Geo into a MAME station
o The motion passed
· Rachael would like to throw a Pancake Party
o She requested $80 in funding from ASB for food and raffle prizes
o She proposed that the event be held on Saturday, March 29th from 7pm-1am in the Student Lounge and ASB Office
o The event would consist of the cooking and consumption of pancakes, watching movies, playing games, and a raffle for gift cards – students who purchase Cogswell pajama pants at the event would receive free raffle tickets
o Marissa motioned to provide up to $80 of ASB funds for the Pancake Party
o The motion passed
· Amy announced that the next Console Game Night will be held on March 28th (Note: this will be changed due to a conflict with Friday Night Live)
o The event will feature a Rock Band tourney, a possible Smash Bros. tourney and a raffle with console games as prizes
· Stephan presented a proposal for on campus student storage that he has submitted to Barb and Andrey
o The proposal covers a number of reasons why students require additional storage space for oversized items such as sculptures
o Eric had concerns about the cost to the school to staff a storage room
o Andrew felt this was an issue better addressed by the Space Planning Committee
o Evan wanted to know how much space would be required – he suggested that if the amount needed is small there may be room within the AV Lab to add a storage area
o Stephan needs student support in order for the Space Planning Committee to review the proposal
o The proposal has been posted along with a petition outside the ASB Office – students interested in adding storage on campus should read over it and sign the petition
o Once the petition is complete it will be submitted to the Space Planning Committee
· Rebecca is going to be sending out a survey to the student body at large
o The survey will address how ASB meetings and the ASB website can be improved to encourage greater student participation
