Campus
board looks for votes on movies Staff Writer
Activities
planned this semester by the Campus Activities Board provide a wide
range of diversity to meet students interests. At
the Sept. 30 CAB meeting, those in attendance saw suggestions become
definite. Updates were given from the committees of concerts, lectures,
family events, novelties and Homecoming. A
proposal made by Sabrina Tyndall, family events committee chairperson,
was to bring in a clown for face painting and balloon animals during
Homecoming Week. Estimated cost is $300-$350. David
Kenny, concert committee chairman, updated plans for the Core Project,
scheduled for Oct. 18. Opening acts have yet to be finalized. However,
preparations for the staging and lighting have been decided. CAB set
$500 as the limit to be spent to bring in one local band, which was set
at the meeting. Former
United Nations weapons inspector to Iraq, Scott Ritter, is scheduled to
appear at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 21 in Taylor Auditorium. CAB s
Web page is fully operational, and Michelle Boley has played a role in
its creation. Reminders of events during Homecoming Week were brought up
by Boley, including a new suggestion for a drive-in-movie. CAB has the
option of purchasing two movies to be displayed on a large outdoor
screen, if weather permits. Campus Recreation and Student Activities has
provided CAB with this option. The cost to purchase movies is between
$250-$650. CAB wants to offer both mature and younger audience movies.
Four titles, Triple X, Sorority Boys, Spider-Man
and Scooby Doo will be posted on the CAB Web site for voting to
narrow the list down to two titles - one for mature and one for younger
audiences. This
will be a way for students to vote, said Julie Blackford, director of
student activities. Matt
Hite, chairman of the Homecoming committee, announced to students who
signed up for the committee to attend a meeting on Oct. 3. An
issue vital to attendance of CAB-sponsored events is the need for
promotion. Blackford encouraged members to help with this to get the
word out about events. Blackford also introduced CAB members to a new
proposal form, which organizations need to complete with necessary
information in order to receive funding and sponsorship by CAB. It
will give [students] incentive, said Audri Manary, junior nursing and
Spanish major. CAB s
next meeting is at noon Monday in Billingsly Student Center, Room 310.
Lunch will be provided. |
