Student Government Senate met on Tuesday, Feb. 2 in Cohen Center 249 to discuss several bills that were presented to the organization by various RSOs on campus.
The first bill discussed, the FGCU Eagles Ultimate Operational Bill, involved the FGCU Eagles Ultimate Frisbee Club asking SG for $420 for athletic jerseys and other items that the club would find useful. The club holds scrimmage games on campus and also attends tournaments across the state. SG voted to amend the number of jerseys from 20 to seven. The amendment passed.
The FGCU Aviation Club Operational Bill was discussed next. The RSO, which has been on campus since this past fall, asked for money for 20 t-shirts for members. The organization’s mission is to connect aviators and non-aviators, as well as students who have an interest in flying. The amendment passed.
The Psychology Club Operational Bill involved the RSO, which has been on campus for four years and meets in Merwin Hall on the first Monday of every month, asking for money to supply the members with 25 t-shirts, food and money to cater two upcoming events the club is hosting — a professional panel on March 14 and a graduate showcase in April. The bill was moved to second reading for the next meeting.
