Media equipment update requested for ISU GSB
March 9, 2010
The Government of the Student Body completed the annual review of its by-laws and will be voting on the changes at Wednesday night’s meeting.
The bill, which could potentially change several by-laws, was written by Speaker of the Senate, and Rules Committee Chair, Michael Weber.
The changes are mostly grammatical, with the only major change in 7.2.4, which would allow any chair to vote, in the event of an equally divided committee.
Currently, the only chair with that power is the chair of the Rules Committee.
It will take a two-thirds vote by the senate to approve the by-law changes.
A bill titled, “Cyclone Simulator,” authored by Anthony Maly, is up for its second read.
The bill would allocate $14,220 from the Capital Projects Account to buy a CR-12 Flight Training System.
The system would help the Flying Cyclones “improve safety, maintain skills and prepare for flying competitions,” according to the bill.
According to the bill, the simulator will hopefully help the club appeal to more students.
Tyler Albaugh also authored a bill that would update media equipment for the GSB/ITS Media Committee.
Dan Finnegan, senior in aerospace engineering, said the equipment is available for any organization to see at the communications building.
Finnegan said that every year the committee replaces a fraction of the equipment in order to keep it up to date.
This year the bill totals $29,390. Media items to be purchased this year if the bill passes include a wide format LCD video projectors, eight digital portable flip camcorders, six SLR cameras and lenses, two outdoor video projection system receivers, projectors and sub-woofers.
The weekly program will be put on by the GSB Finance Committee on the regular allocations process.
Funding for regular allocations is to have its first read at the meeting.
