The Inter-Residence Hall Association met Thursday evening, passing one bill and discussing two others.
The meeting opened with a presentation about the proposed student fee increase to help fund the upcoming renovations for the Memorial Union. The increase calls for a $30 increase per student for the fall 2018 semester and a $42 increase per student for the fall 2019 semester.
Voting on these increases will be on the same ballot as the Student Government election, which will take place March 7 and 8.
The first bill that was discussed was from last week. The bill dealt with the funding of the Masquerade Ball, which is put on by the Oak-Elm Residence Hall. The bill asked for $3,163.
The bill was passed unanimously. The ball will take place March 4 and is open to all residence hall students.
A new bill was introduced to purchase new technological equipment for the IRHA, including microphones and power cords. The bill allocates a proposed spending limit of $1,700.
Voting was postponed until next week.
Another new bill was discussed, pertaining to Helser Hall. The bill asked for a cap of $1,300 to help fund ordering T-shirts for the hall.
Voting was postponed until next week.
During an open forum, members discussed an upcoming event at Friley Hall that will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The event encourages students to bring any recycles they may have and learn how to recycle responsibly.
IRHA will meet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.
