The Inter-Residence Hall Association met and discussed a bill to give Martin hall $1500 at their meeting Thursday night, at the Memorial Union

The bill was presented by Rep. Gillian Gross. The bill requests $1500 dollar to help Martian pay for T-shirt. Gross estimates that between 280-300 shirts will be ordered for the residents of Martin hall.

The shirts would be at no cost to the residences of Martin Hall, as the total cost would be subsidized by the funds requested in the bill from the IRHA.

The IRHA discussed the bill before it was tabled until next week.

This was the first reading of the ‘Martian T-shirt bill’. The representatives will bring the information back to their halls to gauge the opinion of their constituents. The second reading and voting on the bill will be next week on February 8th.

Vanessa Kime, NCC, spoke about Destination Iowa State to the IRHA. She described the experience as a way to, “Develop leadership skills, help new students adjust to Iowa State and be a part of a team.” Kime added that you can apply online to be a team leader. The deadline to do so is Sunday, February 11th.

The IRHA tried something new at Thursday’s meeting by spending part of the meeting time breaking up into their committees for about 10 minutes to meet and discuss update. s

The IRHA committees include the Leadership, Finance and Events committees.

After the committees met the IRHA resumed the meeting by moving onto student government reports. The Student government Reps. spoke about the Stu Gov meeting last night with the city council. The IRHA discussed Stu Gov issues.

The IRHA meets at 7:30 on Thursday nights at the Memorial Union.
