The Inter-Residence Hall Association will be looking at two proposals to fund activities at Thursday’s meeting.

The first bill, titled “Fun For Freshmen and Friends,” is a request for $200 to be given to the Freshman Council to fund an alcohol-free tailgate, said Keith Twombley, IRHA president.

The tailgate will be for the Nov. 23, Twombley said.

“Seventy percent of the people in the residence halls are freshmen, so it will probably pass,” he said.

Jenny Erwin, Union Drive Association president and co-author of the bill, said although the event caters to freshmen, it is open to everyone.

“Everyone needs someplace to go for a game that doesn’t include drinking,” she said.

“Since I was a previous member of Freshman Council, I shouldered this gladly.”

Erwin said IRHA did not fund the event last year.

Instead, the council relied on donations.

The second bill, titled “Madrigal Dinners are Magical,” is a request for $900 to help fund a dinner with a medieval theme, Twombley said.

IRHA funded the dinner last year, he said.

“They came up with a discount for residence hall members, and they’re trying to do it this year as well,” Twombley said.

Dave Breutzmann, Towers Residence Association president and co-author of the bill, said the discount amount would probably be substantial for residence hall students.

“It is a good cultural event, and I think it’s a good idea for us to sponsor it,” he said. “Any residence hall student who chooses to go has a concrete benefit off this sponsorship — mainly discounted seats.”

Also on the agenda is speaker Michelle Kennedy, representative for the Cyclone Leadership Program.

Jessi Raim, IRHA vice president, said Kennedy will be speaking to parliament about how they can help get the word out about the program.

“They also want to know how they can get more residence hall students involved and find out what types of leadership programs we would like to see going on,” Raim said.

“It’s just going to be a roundtable [discussion] to see how we can help them out because we have a long history of programming.”
