Empowering the women of the ROTC is one of the agenda items for the Student Government meeting on Wednesday.

The Peterson Squadron, a group of students devoted to advocating for aerospace power, is requesting $71.36 to honor female aviators in the armory’s display cases, as all the aviators currently honored in the display are male.

The Senate will also discuss funding for the Racquetball Club, the Hockey Pep band and the Multicultural Greek Council. They will also be voting on three bills focused on student debt contracts, cigarettes on Iowa State Campus and imposing a time limit of executive committee reports, as well as hearing a proclamation written and presented by the North Polk Middle School student council.

The first bill will be amending the practice of student organization debt contracts. The original practice allowed the Senate to fund up to half of the organization’s debt every time they submitted a request and the new amendment would allow the Senate to fund up to $2,000 of their debt.

The Senate will be voting on a bill aimed at regulating the use of cigarettes on campus. The resolution recommends that the university and law enforcement take action to enforce the current policy and asks the Student Government Green Fund to organize signage around problem areas to discourage smoking. Upon the passing of the resolution, Student Government will be organizing a cleanup event to pick up cigarette butts and additional trash.

The final bill will limit the time allotted to committee reports and comments from the executive branch. Committees and the executive branch will be limited to no more than five minutes to ensure the meetings can proceed in a timely manner.

The Senate will also be voting on three additional funding requests.

The Racquetball Club is asking for $1,513.32 to help them attend their first tournament on Nov. 3. The funding would be used to pay for registration fees, lodging and transportation for the 15 students attending the tournament.

The Hockey Pep band is seeking $4,700 in funding to help decrease the costs of instrument rentals for students playing in the band. The Hockey Pep band is not affiliated with the music department, so students must rent their instruments from off campus, which can be expensive.

The Multicultural Greek Council is looking for help in renting CY Stephens for their Anti-Hazing Coalition, and is asking for $5,400. The event, held on Oct. 21, is intended to raise awareness to the dangers of hazing in the Iowa State community.

During the meeting, the North Polk Middle School student council will be presenting a proclamation honoring the St. Jude’s Up ‘Til Dawn student organization. Their proclamation asks the Senate to thank the organization for their efforts in raising money for children and families affected by cancer.
