Call to the Audience:

Unfinished Business:

New Action Business

Chair L’Ecuyer: For all the clubs that are here today when I call your item. Come to the podium and if you are here for recognition tell us about your club: number of people, what you do, what you wish to accomplish. If you are here for funding come up and tell us what the funding is for, how much, how will this impact the college.

Item A- Club Recognition: Concrete CanoeSpeaker: Hi thanks for having us today, I am Mike, this is Katie, we represent the concrete canoe for NAU. Concrete Canoe Competition is a national competition that is sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It gives us an opportunity to use our engineering knowledge in junction with a lot of non technical engineering components to do project management, do fundraising, actually design a canoe, con-struct it and race it. We’re seeking club recognition because we think the canoe is a benefit to not only engineering majors, but it’s a really great opportunity for non en-gineering majors. Personally Katie and I currently have internships with the Arizona department of transportation, we work a lot with people that aren't of engineering backgrounds, actually most of our work relies on people that do not have engineer-ing backgrounds. And we view this canoe as a great project to involve art majors, help us with our displays, business majors, to help us with our fundraising, we can learn a lot from them, they can learn a lot from us about concrete.Speaker: Chemistry, it’d be really cool to get more chemical based people in there. I think the biggest thing speaking from just a member side, he’s an officer I’d be just a member. Is that as a professional we will be working with all sorts of people,so engi-neers, chemists, biologists, business majors, financial aid. Everyone works together as a whole, as a team. The big goal here is to create community, we’d like to get more diverse in there. Just because we think it’s valuable, as engineers to be ex-posed to other majors, and other majors to be exposed to engineers. Because the more we work together, the better we’ll work together in the real world. So we think it will benefit NAU because not only will we have more real world experience but like people will better understand each other others majors, and respect each other better. Because a lot of the time people think that engineering is like, we think we’re almighty and what not and really we’d like some help. We don't know what we’re doing we’ve never fundraised before, we’d like to hear from people who are fi-nances, we’d like to hear from people who are business based, marketing, things like that. So that’s like the big goal especially because our roles change every year. So we have different competitions, we’re trying to make a canoe out of concrete float, be able to not sink and won’t be able to swamp and not sink, and we’re trying to in-clude different chemical compounds that as engineers we’ve never been exposed to. So like dying the concrete and putting powders in the concrete and just figuring out how that works, so we figured we’d benefit NAU as a whole to do that. Speaker: For sure, in addition to that, it doesn't matter what major you are. What we always hear is what you do in school your extra curricular those matter, with the ca-noe it’s a great extracurricular project. Something I always pitched to the mentees working under us currently is that they are not wasting their time doing this, they’re actually gaining valuable real world experience and professional development. The stuff I’m doing on the canoe is stuff I’ve been doing for work, with the canoe you can

pass that knowledge on. You want people to really boost their resumes that’s why we’re seeking club recognition. Senator Claus: Have you reached out to the student body at all? Like membership base? Are people interested? Speaker: Yes we actually have about 20 people interested, but since we don't have the club recognition title yet, it’s kind of hard because they’d like to put it on their resumes. Especially the freshman I’ve talked to, would really like to have something on their resumes. To say, I was a part of this project. It is a physical project that was made, and when it’s just kind of well, we’re a part of it, they feel like it’s not a good use of their time.Senator Martinez: Were these freshman or other members who expressed interest all engineering backgrounds?Speaker: No we have plenty that, one of our members was an ROTC and he kind of reached out because he knows that a lot of people like the physical aspect of it, we have a paddling team for concrete canoe, we get to race at conference which is really cool. We have a construction side, but we have a lot of members who are interested in the chemical side which is why I’d like to stress that because it is something that is valuable experience for the real world.

Item B- Club Recognition: Love Your Melon Northern Arizona University Campus CrewSpeaker: So my name is Rachel and I am here to represent the club recognition for for Love your Melon, so Love Your Melon is like a, it’s a huge organization for raising awareness for childhood cancer, as well as, pretty much they're an apparel brand that sells beanies, shirts, water bottles and 50% of the profits go towards childhood cancer research. And they’re also dedicated to giving a hat to every child in America who has cancer. So in every state there's a campus crew so pretty much what they do is they reach out to their community and they get people to buy from Love Your Melon on the website. Every product bought is a credit to their crew, and as their crew accumulates credits, they are able to do more things in the Love Your Melon community. So they can go to hospitals and visit families, and that’s where they do-nate hats to them. We have on campus promotional events, so pretty much getting people to buy our products and get into the whole awareness for this, so they can also support it. And there is different amounts, because the organization is already set, so there’s stuff they already have set for us and so if there’s more questions on that I can answer those. Kristine: Is it a business? Is the organization making money? Speaker: Yeah so I believe they get 30% net profit and 50% go towards just the child cancer research, just the organizations that are non profit and already set up, and then I believe the other 50% go towards giving the beanies to the children.Kristine: Does the club or the club members make any money? Speaker: No.Senator Martinez: So what the club is trying to do is raise funds for this organiza-tion? How would you raise funds?Speaker: Well we don't raise funds but buy selling the products we are helping them raise funds.

Item C- Club Recognition: Magic MakersSpeaker: Hi so I am Kirstin, and this is Caroline, and we are both juniors here at NAU, and we’ve prepared a little statement to discuss what our organization is about and just what our purpose is, and what we’re trying to see happen with our organization.Speaker: Awesome so we would like to bring A Moment of Magic Foundation to our campus through the club the Magic Makers, the Magic Makers operates on the mis-sion, of restoring the magic of leaving to children most of need of time to just be a kid. And reminding them to be brave, strong, and fearless. The Magic Makers will have the opportunity to fundraise, attend events and spread awareness for pediatric cancer, female empowerment, and finding your passion through service work. So we’d especially like to raise awareness for pediatric cancer because childhood can-cer and research is vastly and inconsistently underfunded. And childhood cancer is the leading cause of death or disease by the age of 15 in the U.S. So A Moment of Magic Foundation was originally founded by Kylie McGreen and Margaret McAn-drew in Milfred, Connecticut. Their program takes college aged students and volun-teers at Children’s hospitals and dresses up as very popular Disney Princesses for those children, so the Magic Makers hope to expand the Magic Foundation across the country so we can celebrate the lives of children everywhere and make their lives just a little bit more magical. So we’re hoping to spread awareness and magic throughout NAU and helping students find their passion through service work and this is why we’d like to bring The Magic Makers club to NAU.

Item D- Club Recognition: NAU LumberpupsSpeaker: Hey everyone my name is Izzy I am a freshman here at NAU, and NAU Lum-berpups is basically just a club that me and a few other people are trying to bring to campus to basically have students be able to be around dogs, see dogs. Because I un-derstand that when a lot of people when they come up here they can’t bring their dogs with them, and there’s a separate anxiety there a little bit with a lot of people. We’ve been working with A Second Chance Animal Shelter and they have been so cooperative and gracious, letting us know that we have their support in this. So basi-cally if we can’t do something here we would like to do something maybe downtown Flagstaff? Something close where students can get to and see those puppies, and ba-sically get a little stress relief from being a student. Because obviously for any major being a student is really hard on a lot of people, so our goal is to just create some stress relief and maybe take an hour out of your day just to be with dogs. Senator Claus: Just out of curiosity. How often are you thinking of doing these events?Speaker: As often as we can, I mean it also depends on where we can get it and Sec-ond Chance basically has said that they are willing to help us anytime that we need so I think if we can get it up and running I would like to have this, let’s say maybe once a week on campus or close to campus.Senator Nielson: You said you had spoken with Second Chance? Are they asking for any money?

Speaker: No. Because they actually feel like it is going to benefit them too.The dogs would wear a little Adopt me vest, and things like that, for people. Because I would hope people off campus could come too so like they are really trying to get these dogs out of shelters and getting them into good homes and getting them adopted. So they feel like well, if we work with NAU Lumberpups then that would help us out too. So they're not charging us anything.Senator Nielson: So what’s your plan for this $25 for the fees? Speaker: Oh that’s for t-shirts.Senator Nielson: For t-shirts?Speaker: Yeah we’re actually planning on making t-shirts for club members.

Item E- SB 29-37: NAU Logging Sports ClubSpeaker: Hi I’m Collin captain of the logging sports club, and requesting funding for reimbursement for the competition we went to in California. We won first place, so we took 9 students and 1 faculty member. And so we represent NAU well, you know, we stay true to NAU’s values and conduct ourselves in an appropriate manner. Plus you know, NAU is the lumberjack school so we’re the real lumberjacks NAU, I feel like it’s a pretty good representation. So this morning we’re asking for cover travel expenses and registration fees. We’ve been a club since 2008 but we’re just now of-ficially a sports club. So this money will help, historically we've been paying out of pocket to go to events and that makes it hard to keep members around because it does add up, and so this money would help keep more members and in the future we’ll look into future expenses. Senator Martinez: I’m confused did you say that you became a sports club or just be-come a club? Speaker: We became a sports club last time I met with you guys the other month, but since 2008 we’ve been functioning as a team underneath the forestry club so now we’re our own sports club.Chair L’Ecuyer: So since they have been newly recognized this semester as a club, our bylaws do state that if we want to grant the funding that they’re asking for it has to be passed with the 2/3 vote of the senate. Kristine: Was this funding request approved by sports? Did Mike stamp it?Senator Olas: I didn’t send it to him. I didn't get it for senate to write the bill. Kristine: It probably shouldn't be approved because they have their own funding system. Chair L’Ecuyer: Who wrote the bill?Senator Overturf: That went through me, I wasn't aware that I was sports?Speaker: I have run it by Mike in clubs sports and he was okay with it, but it hasn't been officially stamped. Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah there has to be an official stamp for us to approve it. I’m sorry I missed that. Senator Nielson: We talked about it in appropriations. Senator Anderson: It wasn't discussed Senator Olas: I didn’t send it to him I’m sorry.

Chair L’Ecuyer: So I apologize that we've wasted your time here today but we will have to table this, until you can go to Mike and have it stamped with his approval and bring it back to us and you can go through the process again. I apologize. Speaker: Sounds good.

Item F- SB 29-38: Club Headquarters (CHQ)Parker: We just went over $500 on basic supplies to run Club Headquarters, paper, ink, and helium, helium was our number one that was our biggest expense. Two of our tanks are empty, so please approve that, thanks guys.

Item G- SB 29-39: ASNAU Office SuppliesChair L’Ecuyer: This is just name tags and name plates that Kali has needed to pur-chase for the office, again it was over $500 so it needs to come through the senate.

Item H- SB 29-40: Student Associations for Fire EcologySpeaker: My name is Elizabeth Wright the week after Thanksgiving we are sending 400 undergraduate students to the third annual southwest fire conference in Tuc-son Arizona. And this conference is a really great opportunity for students to learn about all the current issues that are going on in fire ecology right now. We can learn about different management options that are being considered right now, research that different professionals are doing as well as they get to meet professionals, maybe not necessarily directed to fire, but do work a lot with fire and can get their perspectives and just kind of learn all the different avenues that they can take within wild land and fire. The funding will just cover the registration costs for students, even though students are volunteering at this conference to have a lower registra-tion rate it is still a good amount of money for their registration and also covering some of the travel costs to get to Tucson and back.

Item I- SB 29-41: NAU Men’s Ultimate FrisbeeSpeaker: Hi my name is Micheal I am one of the captains on the Men’s Ultimate Fris-bee team we are requesting funding to help us go to tournaments this semester and next semester, and basically help us cover costs for registration fees for the tourna-ments and also gas and sometimes lodging expenses just for students to sleep and get to the tournaments. That's it really.

Item J- SB 29-42: NAU Ski and Snowboard ClubSpeaker: I am the president of the ski and snowboard club, I am requesting funding to cover the registration fees or cover some of the registration fee for the U.S. Colle-giate Ski and Snowboard Association the total for the fee that I am requesting is $1350 it’s just $300 per event. Events like, free style skiing and then another $150 for the institutional fee, and yeah, that will just benefit the school as a whole. It looks really good for us to have another sports club, a ski and sports club team. We live right next to the mountain, anyone in the NAU student body is of course welcome to join the team. Senator Brown: You are requesting how much?Speaker: $950

Item K- SB 29-43: NAU Film Society Speaker: I am the president of the film society, this is my vice president Gabriel Perez. In case any of you guys did not know. We did just get approved this semester so we’re looking for funding, so it’s the 2/3 vote just to let you know before hand. So the funding we’re looking, we’re looking to rent equipment down in Phoenix, cam-era equipment. I am already in contact with a bunch of warehouses and they’re will-ing to partner with us and give us a really good discounts. We just need the reim-bursement because we’re looking at spending around $1000 on equipment and I spoke to my senator and she said it’d also be okay to request for insurance, so a re-fund for the insurance, because we don’t want to be liable, it’s over $100,000 to re-place. So basically I guess a good way to put it is, we’re trying to make the film pro-gram here have bigger face, kind of in the U.S. right now ASU they’re pretty good. But we want to be the new face for the film program in Arizona. And so we made a society to help, so here’s what the film program can produce and if we have the best tools possible we’ll be able to create the best product possible and then in turn we’ll be able to get potential students who will see the videos and films we create, and want to come to NAU, which is our main hope, to keep it just a big circle. Speaker: It is also, the equipment that we’re using it is industry standards so it also gives films students, or not, experience with this kind of equipment because like I said a lot of the equipment is, like you said the dolly is $140,000. So it teaches us how to use real stuff, like here at this school we do have a little rental place for cam-era equipment stuff, but the film program is so tiny right now so we don't have like the good stuff, like follow focuses and dollies and stuff. So I think it’d be a good expe-rience, I Am the director on the film we’re shooting this weekend and it’s giving all of us a good experiment. Because we’re working with a natural crew, D.P. is working with cinematography and then we have grips and ads and pas so it’s an actual pro-duction set. We’re creating this environment so people learn how to work with each other, other than just getting this assignment and you’re the director and you’re never messing with lights often.Chair L’Ecuyer: For the insurance, is that included in the $1049?Speaker: I was told that I could add it on later, just reapply again. Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah so is that insurance covering you for like the next year of buy-ing equipment or?Speaker: It’s just the weekend. Chair L’Ecuyer: OK.Speaker: It’s like $700, it’s pretty crazy but that’s just because the replacement value is so high on these items.Chair L’Ecuyer: OK, correct me if I’m wrong or if you know differently but from my understanding we can do the insurance as long as it is in that weekend, but our fi-nancials may come back, if you produce your receipts, and they may say no. Just want to give you fair warning that that is a possibility, I don't know how likely it is, but from what I’ve heard we should be able to fund the insurance if that is some-thing.Speaker: What would be the reason to not fund?

Chair L’Ecuyer: Because insurance could, and again if it’s just that weekend you should be fine but you can’t fund anything you keep for an extended period of time. So say you were buying the rental equipment or the insurance was going to last the next 10 years for your club we couldn't do that because it’s not temporary, and that’s my understanding with insurance, we haven't dealt with it much. But Kali our front desk and Paula, you'll speak with her too if this passes. Senator Anderson: Do we need to amend the bill to add those pieces? Because I think if they want that to pass it’d be best to add it so it’s in context.Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah and they don't have to write a whole new packet to go through insurance. Are you guys comfortable amending the bill to add the insurance at this time?Senator Carr: I’m just concerned, I’m not saying you’re going to break it, but if you break it and we pay for the insurance then like legally wouldn't the liability be on the person who paid the insurance? Speaker: Well, it’s under my personal name and the NAU Film Society, so it should have no affiliation with you guys.Senator Nielson: Do you guys have anymore movies or films planned after this one for this year or next year? Speaker: So, we have a few different ways we want to approach it. A feature film has never been made here by a student at Northern Arizona so we want to try to like, our last meeting before the semester breaks, we want to talk about it. If we want to do a feature film which is where the first semester is reproductions, getting the script done and you know, scheduling call sheet, all the boring stuff but it’s impor-tant. And then like the next semester would be, actually shooting it and then the fol-lowing semester it would be editing it. Senator Nielson: So it would be a 3 semester project?Speaker: Yeah if we vote on it, it’s always going to be voting based. So I wanted to implement. So this year we just needed something to show people because you can’t just be like, here join our club we don't have anything to show though. We want something that is a good quality product and then you know bring more people in and then we’ll vote probably the beginning of each year and then we’ll do a film for a semester or one film for the whole year.Speaker: And one thing to add, just so you guys don't think we’re sketch or anything. We’ve got active members and they're committed last weekend we shot a film and we were at the location at about 4:30 in the morning until 12pm and then we broke for a couple of hours and then from 4-midnight and people stayed and were shoot-ing all day. And then we came back the next day from 5-10 so Saturday, Sunday we were shooting.Senator Nielson: I don’t think the perception of sketch it was just, the reason I asked that question is because I want to make sure, you said you need 2/3 vote. That you’re not going to make this movie and then be done.Speaker: Yeah we’re backed by the president of the film program and then basically every single film professor so if you guys are thinking we’re not going to be as legit or just dip out I’m telling you that’s not the case at all. And I have actually spoken to the president of the school of com as well and he’s backing us. We’re trying to legit-imize.

Speaker: The whole reason.Senator Holditch: Just wondering first, what is the film about and also where is it taking place is it on NAU’s campus or Flagstaff? It just says Flagstaff. Speaker: The film is about this gut, so it’s sort of a romance piece. I’m sure you guys have had this sort of interaction where you see that attractive person and you want to go talk to them but you don't so then you start thinking what if. So this guy sees this girl and he starts thinking what if, so he turns into a dream like state and then his friend wakes him up and then he uses the clues from the dream to find this girl. And then at the he says hi to her, she says hi back. And then it cuts to black, so it’s a big ‘what if’ type of film and the location is the Union, the library, the Lowell Obser-vatory and outside of the performing arts building. Senator Martinez: So in this semester we have not had a situation where we have approved funding for a club that has just been approved for less than a semester. Why do you think we should make an exception?Speaker: So like I’ve said before you need the right tools to get the job done. We want to make ourselves seem legit as possible really. So if we’re limiting ourselves to just what we have here people will be like oh I’ve seen that done. Because you’re limiting yourself, you get to a certain point where you’re going to be like I can’t physically get this shot because I just don't have what I need to. You wouldn't go to Picasso and be like, use this brush I got at Target go paint me something amazing. Like you need to be like here’s the best possible paint brushes you can find, and he can create a masterpiece. I like to kind of think of it that way. Not that we’re like Pi-casso, I don’t know if that helped answer or?Senator Martinez: I’m looking more for like it definitely benefits the club and the film program but is there a way it will benefit NAU as a whole?Speaker: Yeah I mean personally I think it would be pretty awesome, I mean you’re all obviously NAU students and it’d be cool to go to the school where maybe we won Sundance or LA Film Festival or the Cann Film Festival in France. We’ve got some pretty big goals, we’re trying to send this film off to as many different festivals that we can.Speaker: We’re hoping that this would open the eyes of other kids at NAU. Like they wanna do film and NAU is making this piece and I wanna go to that school kind of thing.Senator Carr: I guess my question, kind of going off Senator Martinez, what’s the rush, is there a deadline, you know most clubs we give them a semester and that’s why there are bylaws there. So they have time to get established, but why can’t it be next semester? Why does it have to be this semester?Speaker: I mean it’s more of just like if, because we’re missing out on a larger por-tion of people if we wait till next semester to do it. When people are back home over winter break and they’re searching NAU Film and they find our page, it’s really just to create as much publicity as possible, as soon as possible really. And at least 4 or 5 of our members are graduating soon so we have to kind of like make sure that we have something that we can leave them with and then it will continue on. I don’t know if that helps. Senator Brown: Would you all have attempted to shoot this film if you’re not ap-proved as a club?

Speaker: Yeah we’d still shoot it. We’re going to make films no matter what because we’re film makers.Speaker: Like Robert Rodriguez said, I don't know if anyone knows “You shoot with what you have” but like I said we want the experience with the new stuff. Because once you leave and try to get into the industry somebody is going to be like can you go set up that C stand and then you’re going to crush fingers because those things are very dangerous if you don't know how to use them properly. That’s why we want to teach everyone how to use things properly so that they don't break or kill themselves on set or potentially be thrown off set because they were never taught how to set up a C stand. You don't want to get anyone mad on a professional set, be-cause that’s it. Senator Brown: I guess my question is similar to Senator Carr’s it is: would you have attempted to do this, this soon if you were not approved to be a club? Speaker: I mean yeah, we have enough funding on our own. We could just like limit ourselves a bunch and take out a bunch of equipment but we raised all our own money on our own, but why would we do that. If we could be organized and part of the university and a legitimate organization. Kristine: Are either of you graduating this semester?Speaker: I am graduating so.Speaker: I will be here until 2018Chair L’Ecuyer: This semester? Or May?Speaker: This semester.

Item K- SB 29-43: NAU Film Society Motion: Senator Overturf Second: Senator Desabrais Parliamentarian Davis: So the consensus is yes the 2/3 vote is needed for this to pass. The direct wording that the bylaws says, I am going to read it and then explain my interpretation. “Only under special circumstances will the following receive an allocation with a 2/3 vote by the senate which states an organization not recognized by the previous semester.” And the reason by my interpretation of having this in our bylaws is for any special circumstance so I guess the decision that this body needs to make, is: is this a special circumstance? And whether or not it will provide a presi-dent for other clubs and organizations.Senator Anderson: Do we need to amend it?

Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah we do. Yeah let’s go ahead and amend it right now, thank you for reminding me. Vote: Failed, did not reach 2/3

Amend the bill SB-29-43Motion: Senator AndersonSecond: Senator Nielson Vote: Passes One opposed: Senator Desabrais Senator Brown: So you’re graduating this semester right? So I guess really my first question is what motivated you, the last semester of your senior year to create this club?Speaker: So I transferred here so I’ve only been here for 2 1/2 years, and I was actu-ally a photo major, I am a photo major, but I am actually a film maker technically. So I didn't really realize I wanted to make film until about a year ago. So I hadn't really had enough time to change my major, and so that’s why I wanted to establish some sort of organization for other people, that they can come to and talk about anything with film. Because yeah I am graduating but I feel like you should kind of leave NAU better than you found it, and so this wasn’t here when I first came so I want this to be a safe place and an organization and they can make a difference and be a part of.Senator Brown: So there is already a film society correct?Speaker: Yeah it’s ours. Senator Brown: There’s another film club?Senator Martinez: UTV-62.Speaker: That’s a class, not a club. Senator Martinez: It’s a club recognized by ASNAU as well.Speaker: You still have to pay class fees or course fees. You can't just go an do it for free. That's what separates us and I won’t give you the details on it. Senator Anderson: I guess I just kind of want to feel out how other senators feel about this? Personally I think that we should pass this because we have so much money still that I don't necessarily understand why we wouldn’t allow for a club to be able to have this opportunity. And also do you know how much of our budget has been used yet?Chair L’Ecuyer: I haven't checked in the last two weeks but two weeks before that was about 35%.Senator Anderson: And that's also without the rollover counted? Correct?Chair L’Ecuyer: As of right now, but we’ve probably spent close to 50% in the last 2-3 weeks. I’d say we're nearing the 50% mark of our budget spent. But I’ll let you know actual figures at the next senate meeting. Senator Martinez: I don’t think that money is an issue, because we definitely have enough money. Hopefully to cover all the clubs that come in. The issue is whether this is a president that is extraordinary enough, to tell our clubs that hey if you just came in last week but you can come and request money. Senator Overturf: I would agree with that too. I don't think the money question is relevant. I think the question is: is this the kind of the president we want to set? And I think the bylaws implied that we should only do this if there are special circum-

stances. And to me special circumstances mean something like, maybe we made some kind of mistake that affected the club recognition or maybe just something weird happened. And that’s not the case here, the case is they just want to get a project started early. This is a problem that a lot of clubs are going to have, this is going to happen a lot and I just don't think there's a justifiable reason to do it now. Senator Claus: In my perspective I think one of the only justifiable reasons to pass it would be that you are graduating this semester, so this is something that couldn't have waited. You’re the president right? It’s kind of like the president of the club wants to leave their mark before they’re off. It’s sad that this club, because the goal of the club is to make film I don't think that is necessarily something that could have waited because I don't know what you would have done this semester. But that is again, is up to interpretation whether you think that is a special enough circum-stance. In my eyes that is, because it’s not like you will be here to do it later. Senator Overturf: We’re also not preventing them from making a film, we’re not pre-venting their club from doing what they want to do. And also again, there's always going to be graduating seniors. Senator Martinez: I agree with that. I think, I kind of agree with both sides, but at the same time I would love to provide funding but it’s not big enough of an issue to tell our clubs, it’s okay to come and request funding. Kristine: Just president being I don't know if we accept a funding packet from a club in their first semester? We had two today, although we had to table them so this de-cision is going to affect what we do for logging sports as well. And in your case, they had registered last semester and didn't follow procedures, they're just late. But I think you really have to think about the president, I think the bylaw is intended to prevent anyone from just creating a club, doing a one time project, one time event, whatever, and then the club dissolving. I’m not saying that will happen in this case but I think we need to be careful about that. Other clubs had to spend their first se-mester raising money showing that they're viable on campus so.

Senator Claus: So you keep mentioning that you have funding and you are fundrais-ing. I’m just wondering, what have you been doing to fundraise?Speaker: So right now, since we're so new, we’re trying to hit the ground. I made a go fund me, where we barely raised I think maybe $500 and our goal was almost $1000 or $750. So that’s been struggle in it of itself just to get people to try and do-nate. So that's why we’re coming to you guys to at least try and get reimbursement for what we have. Speaker: We also, we’re working with Chik-Fil-A to do chicken nugget platter plate things, we get 20% or something?Speaker: Yeah 20% of the cost or something, but they have to bring the flyer, and since we’re so new we just gotta hand it to random people and hope it works.Speaker: It works with friends, yeah we’ve been trying everything we can, because we understand the bylaw you guys have set. So you know, Thomas has really picked it up and put it on his shoulders and then we kind of started to try and get this thing going. Senator Claus: Cool so if this isn't approved will you still have the money to pay for it?

Speaker: Yeah we should, we’ll have to take off a lot of equipment but we can still make a film it’s just not going to be as good.Chair L’Ecuyer: On your bill it says this event will take place on the 11-13th then the 19th-20th so it seems like it has already occurred?Speaker: So we rented like one item it was $100 last weekend that we’re also using for this weekend, so I think that's why I put both dates. But the majority of the fund-ing is going towards this weekend.Senator Martinez: Well I think, since it’s a reimbursement process, so you need to al-ready have the funds. Chair L’Ecuyer: Right that’s what I’m saying that would have to have already used the equipment because the dates passed, you know what I mean they've already put in the purchase for it. Senator Brown: I think that was a good point from Senator Martinez. so did you al-ready purchase the rental equipment?Speaker: No so I was going to put it on my personal credit card if that kind of brings things to the table, if we got funding. Because that’s definitely still a reliable form of payment but $700 on my credit card if we didn't get funded. Yes I have the funds theoretically but if I didn't get the funding we’re going to take things off and just what we have.Senator Brown: Okay that makes sense. I was just wondering if you’ve got the equip-ment yet or not. Speaker: No, we don't pay until pick up. Speaker: We have everything reserved and ready to go so when we go into Phoenix they have it all ready. Speaker: And you pay at the end of the day, make sure everything works and all that stuff. Senator Martinez: Sorry I am confused. So if you had gotten approved you would've put everything on your credit card? Or fundings plus your credit card?Speaker: If we had? If we do get approved, I am going to put some of it on my per-sonal credit card and then the money we have. And then obviously that will be more money total and then we’ll get reimbursed for that. And then I’m going to put the money that I got back obviously what I’d paid for and then the rest will go back, we’re going to put back the dues until next semester and have double the amount of money to start with. So they're not starting with zero like we did this semester. Senator Carr: I’m still a bit confused confused sorry, so if you don't get this funding you can’t rent the equipment that you need? You’ll work with what you have but you can't get the fancy stuff? Is that what you’re saying? Speaker: Basically yes, fancy is kind of an odd term but yeah basically yes.Senator Carr: Because I’m just thinking, I think it’s awesome that you’re trying to do this now, but it’s kind of the cart before the horse, because next semester the club can get funding so you don't necessarily have to worry about them starting with zero because they will be eligible and there wouldn't be a hurdle. Whereas now I think there is a circumstance could be beneficial to approve it now but, the presi-dent I do see being an issue, because other clubs might see that we did this, and not have as specific of restraints, will argue that last semester we approved this, so. That’s the issue I have.

Chair L’Ecuyer: Vote did not reach 2/3 of the consensus so the bill fails.Speaker: We want to thank you guys, if you want to come to our set ,feel free.Speaker: Saturday, Sunday we start at, crew gets there at 8am and then we start filming at 9:30. Speaker: So I don't know if you have any interest in seeing our professional set, feel free to come. Senator Brown: Where at?Speaker: Saturday morning in the Cline Library, we have talked to the dean and we’re approved to shoot there.

Executive Reports

a. President- Vanessa Pomeroy

b. Vice President of Student Affairs - Parker SchrandtLast tailgate this weekend so I sent out the google drive, if you haven't signed up or contacted me, please do before tomorrow preferably. On the side of diversity, I met with Dallas and we’re trying to think of different ways we can help the student body in reaction to recent events. A lot of different things are going around campus, not particularly good things, not just us, but nation wide. So we’re just moving in the direction of trying to create a safe environment for all students, and allowing students to recognize that we have a safe environment for them. On sustainability side we just hired our sustainability director her name is Ana when you guys see her next week pease introduce yourselves. So I’ll be meeting with her, either tomorrow or next week. Talk about job duties and future goal of the position. And then Kiss My Axe submissions are due today, ac-tually they were due 6 minutes ago. There are some that were pretty cool so please tell your fellow students to vote for them. Kristine is going to help me set up the voting system that will be going out next week. The voting system is going to be open Monday- Wednesday we have like 8 de-signs so far, there will be a blue, black or white shirt, and you guys can choose that too.

c. Vice President of Academic Affairs- Lauren L’EcuyerOkay, so number one I apologize for not being at appropriations this week. The Green Fund, Vanessa, and I had a meeting regarding the next steps and the only time all fours of us could meet was at 7pm on Monday so next time I will definitely try to send another member from the executive team to make sure that it goes smoothly, as I heard that it did not this week so please just, maintain your professionalism no matter what goes on. And this is not just to the appropriations committee this is everybody. We did a great job with the discussion today. Just remember all things should be proper and formal in the business setting and that includes committee meetings as well. We’re go-ing to be renewing schedules for next year. Has everyone chosen their class schedules? Okay perfect. We’re going to shoot to have everyone scheduled

that week between Thanksgiving and Christmas or reading week, where we can still do stuff, you’ll have all your schedules for next semester. Senator Claus: Is that where like we’ll get emails when we’re working or will we be able to input the times? Chair L’Ecuyer: You’ll be able to input the times. It’s easier now that we have a line of communication whereas summer it was hard to get your preferences but we will and look out for an email about that. Now that we have these last few weeks left use them to be brainstorming if you need to wrap up some-thing this semester. If not brainstorm what you could be doing next semester to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. So while I know everything is com -ing to an end just keep that in mind that there are still things to do. Oh sorry, change for, so we don't have appropriations, senate, or legislative committee next week. So the week following is the 28th is that Monday, so if you have any bills they need to be done by the 25th, which is a Friday the day after Thanksgiving. Nobody wants to do that over Thanksgiving. Senator Carr: 2 questions: Does the CHQ and office hours stop reading week?Parker: They close the second of December, they close early. Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah snack thing is the end of reading week. Senator Carr: And have people been told that they can't turn in anymore bills?Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah it’s on the very top of your packet. Also I believe during reading week people can work if you want to? So you guys can work if you want to. But if you want to spend it studying, feel free you don't have to come in and we won’t hold it against you. Senator Claus: How many hours will we be eligible?Chair L’Eucuyer: You’ll be eligible for 5 because we won’t have a senate meet-ing. Senator Carr: And office hours are field work?Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah office hours are field work, correct. Because we won't have a committee meeting either. So speaking of that week of the 28th so are very last one we’re gonna switch it up and change legislative and appropria-tions committee. So you guys are basically going to switch. It’s going to be an experiment, just to see how legislative committee does as chairs of appropri-ations committee and vis versa, so you can kind of see the struggle that each committee has, and we can work together to be a cohesive unit. Everything will be at the exact same time, we’ll just be switching roles. I’ll obviously be there to facilitate. So Monica and Joe don’t worry about it you’ll just be a sit-ting member for the week because I know you don't know how run each oth-ers committee but just be aware of that. Nothing changes besides your role at that time. Senator Carr: Are we not allowed to be on the same committees next semes-ter? Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah just to give you guys an option as well as appropriations committee edits a lot of bills and some people don't understand, and you wouldn't understand if you were never on appropriations committee. What it’s like to edit bills in front of people. So I think that opportunity will be help-

ful to see the other side. Senator Overturf: Will I still be head of ledge next semester? Chair L’Ecuyer: If the timing works out, then yeah. This is just a one time thing. This is just an experiment. Kristne: Ledge is still meeting at ledge time? They’re just acting as appropria-tions? Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah exactly, so I’ll be sending out an email and just go ahead and email them. Senator Nielson: What about the place of meeting?Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah so that’ll switch, Ledge, where you usually meet will be CHQ and the office. Also I’ll send out an email so you don't have to remember. Also when we’re doing the scheduling for next semester we’ll make another doc like what we did for the committee times and be flexible you may have to switch committees we’ll try to get everyone on what they want this next se-mester but again, it may switch. d. Vice President of Government Affairs – John Bower

e. Chief of Staff- Jake Gavin

Staff Reports

a. Student State Affairs - Angela Garvey, Sydney Stogner, Kaylee Clark

b. Public Relations - Kyra Johnson, Angelica Doan, Laura Edgerton a. We’re just doing ads and posting on social media and we did

tabling for Snapchat yesterday and we actually got a ton of people to follow our snapchat from it, so we’re just going to try and table more because it helped out a lot.

c. Special Events - Taylor Wesner, Madi Sowerwined. IT - Chantz Spearse. NSG- Morgan DeLoach

Last night we had Cookies, Cocoa, and Constellations, based on last years event we ordered cookies and cocoa for about 60 people and ending up running 30 minutes in. So it was good that we had a lot of people show up but next year we know to or-der more. Unfortunately Astronomy Club did fall through and we weren't able to get telescope, so we did make signs encouraging people to download this app to look at the stars, but since it was a very chilly night people didn't really want to stay around. They were more interested in the cocoa and cookies, but that’s okay be-cause we had a few people show interest in doing NSG for next year and it was just a fun time for us all to hang out. Holiday party is going to be during our meeting, not this Monday, but the next Monday after that at 7 we’re having a little holiday party all of you guys are invited, we’re doing a white elephant if you want to bring a gift

under $10, and then our committees have been kind of off to a slow start. However they are starting to get going it just took a little bit of a push. Since we are running out of time our service committee has decided to do two service projects next se-mester. And yeah that’s it. Senator Claus: I wish I had known early, I have a telescope. So if you ever do it again let me know.

f. Diversity Director- Dallas Diaz

Senator Claus: I understand we’re not doing anything really. Hate isn't partisan be-cause that si a partisan issue but thats for further.

g. Front Desk- Kali Morris - NA

Committee ReportsA. Appropriations Committee

Senator Olas: So I am really sorry for dropping the ball on logging sports. I actually know what happened, I actually didn't send the bill at all Kali just sent it to Overturf because she thought I had a lot of bills but I didn't know. So that’s what happened and I will be a lot more professional the next appropriations. And then, when we send the bills to Lauren, do you think we could do documents instead of PDFs? Just in case we need to make a small edit, PDF is kind of hard you know. Just keep the bills con-sistent. It’s just so tiny, it’s all good no worries. Spell it all out, like if it’s California or Arizona, so it is clear and what not. That’s all I’ve got, great job guys. Senator Anderson: I just want to say please please please take the time to look over your bills, it is important to take pride in anything you stamp your name to. When we amend bills in appropriations it reflects nega-tively on ASNAU as an organization. It also makes club members and indi-viduals feel terrible because they’re sitting there thinking what did I do wrong. So please remember to pay attention to the small things like the spacing, ending of the numbers, adding years, and adding cents. Please just be conscientious and considerate of the time of your fellow senators and the attendees as the amendments take up such a large portion of our meetings. For example our meetings could be 10-15 minutes as they were last year, and instead they're taking an hour- 45 minutes.

B. Legislative CommitteeSenator Overturf: Ok so Senator Lee drafted a form for initiatives and it’s pretty good. We talked about how we’re going to handle voting on the Green Fund and we came up with an electoral college system. We also talked a little bit about stuff following the election there is something go-ing on, people attacking both sides. It’s really important that we abso-lutely stay neutral. We talked about the safety pins but we can’t actually do that because it’s not staying neutral. So we decided the best option for

us is to kind of go ahead and just do tabling and make sure we get the available resources. Chair L’Ecuyer: We actually cut that, we are not doing tabling. I’m so sorry I totally forgot to inform you. Senator Overturf: Are we doing anything? That concludes my report. Chair L’Ecuyer: Dallas and Parker are trying to do an informational ses-sion talking about the electoral college and stuff like that. So it’s an AS-NAU sponsored, more of our purpose kind of thing. Senator Carpenter: I don't know if you’ve heard of this but tonight at 5:30 history professors and I think some english professors are doing a teach in. And anyone can go, so if you want to redo it on a bigger scale then they can come in. Because pretty much only history majors know about it. I think it was like, Porter Labuff. Chair L’Ecuyer: Could you email them to me? Sorry to highjack your re-port. I have something else to add on to that too. I sent the initiatives piece of legislation that we voted on legislative committee this week to Vanessa she had few edits she wanted to make, so she asked to put a halt on it and bring it back at our next senate meeting, after she could explain what she means in it.Senator Claus: We’re switching roles, so if she talks to Ledge it won’t be ledge.Chair L’Ecuyer: That’s a good point. We can always get an opinion from the other senators. If you have anything to add to that legislative commit-tee just email me. Or you can always come too if you want to. Also it prob-ably won’t be passed this semester just because we need to make that ini-tiatives sheet form that we promised in the bylaws. We need the form again, in case it comes up again in the near future which it will because I got an email about an initiative yesterday. So we just have decided to slow down the process and make sure everything is correct. Kristine: I just wanted to know a little more about the electoral college idea or maybe that info is coming later? I am intrigued. Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah do you wanna explain it?Senator Carr: So we were trying to talk about like when it comes to the voting, to endorse, so after we get the results from the survey next semes-ter it came from discussing what student support is. So we had the idea to survey what college you are a part of, since we each represent a college, we’re able to see categorically what the voters from the college said, and since there’s multiple senators from each college one vote would have to go in favor of what the survey says. So if your college, most CEFNS stu-dents would say, yes, then one of our votes would say yes. And then the other one would be, because we’ve got lots of information we have com-munication for almost over a year now for people who have been here and what not. So if almost everyone says no, but we saw the signature and these other things then we have the right to make an educated opin-ion as senators. We have that fair balance of we’re not just going off of the survey but we’re not just saying our personal opinion but a balance.

Senator Nielson: I not only represent a college but also about 30 clubs too. So would they go into my electron vote process too?Senator Carr: Well everyone votes as an individual so that individual per-son, or member of your club like even the clubs we’re assigned are some-what based on the colleges we have. So it should be somewhat represen-tative.Cindy: So some states have their electors that the winner popular vote takes all the electors and other states award their electors proportionate to their popular vote. How are the senators to be informed? Can they just pick whatever state they're mimicking?Parker: Who’s vote is silenced?Chair L’Ecuyer: No one's vote is silenced so and then this is a work in progress so this is the first meeting that we’ve talked about it. So thank you for bringing that up. The way we have it designed right now the pair and trio of senators for the college will decide together what their one popular vote would be, so say for CEFNS there's 3 of them, 2 of them vote yes one of them votes no, it would be a yes. We have two other senators, so Senator Brown and Senator O’Reilly they have together decided what we think our popular vote should be. We thought it’d be interesting for you to work with your counterpart and say, we have all this information, what do you think, what do I think? Let’s come to an agreement and make that one popular vote and then you vote in line with your colleges. Does that make sense?Cindy: No, but it’s intriguing. It sounds like it’s working. Kristine: We actually do have the ability to assign ballots based on college enrollment, so we could feasibly set it up that way. Then we would know. That is how GSG does their elections for college representatives so we have that option.Chair L’Ecuyer: Oh ok.Kristine: So we have the ability to set it up that way.

C. Diversity CommitteeSenator Claus: Dallas and I met and we discussed the different things we can do on campus and I understand we’re not doing anything really. So I don't know how much else I can say really. One thing we did talk about actually was a campaign called: Hate Isn't Partisan. Because that isn't a partisan issue and it kind of goes along with campus community and ev-eryone. But that is for further discussion.

Senator Reports

College of Arts and Lettersa. Erika Desabrais- I am talking with my dean to set up a time for

donuts with the dean.b. Monica Overturf- I wrote some bills.

College of Social and Behavioral Sciences

a. Ashley Beghtol-b. Fernanda Wolburg Martinez - Well as you heard no tabling and

no free hugs but I’m glad there is other events being planned, sorry I couldn't come to Diversity Week.

c. Jo Olas - Awesome so I’ve been working on the ASNAU forum. I have a little picture. PR finished our, I should've got this out earlier, the flyer, all out faces are on it. I’ll pass that around. So it’s November 30th ASNAU forum it will start at 4pm and then tabling, so November 28th is a Monday it is from 2:30-4:30. Just so I can get the word out, and then November 29th 9:30-11:30 we’re going to, I still need to get tabling for November 30th, the day of, in the pedway. So we can get all the students and we have all the food ordered and what not, so sign this.

College of Health and Human Servicesa. Leah Claus- So I’ve been getting in contact with my long term

term goal. And then I have a meeting that I am excited for. b. Matt Nielson- We have our donuts with the dean event Tues-

day, that is going really well. We are very surprised at our point of contacts utility and he is very surprised that we have special event staff helping us out, so then also, the week after next is the great appeal hearing that I am going to attend as a member. Did I hear it right today in senate that UTV is a class?

c. Chair L’Ecuyer: Yeah I’ve marked that down as well to look into.

d. Kristine: They’ve been a registered organization as long as I’ve been here so.

e. Chair L’Ecuyer: We gave them funding earlier this year and that’s the only thing I am worried about. I’ll see if I can find anything in past binders.

f. Kristine: I assumed people could be in it that weren't part of the class?

g. Chair L’Ecuyer: Maybe I’ll contact them and ask. h. Senator Nielson: And then last but not least I forgot the

pinecone today. College of Education

a. Kailey Lee- b. Natalie Carpenter- So today a student reached out to me from

arts and letters so there’s like a teach english abroad fair on Friday and she asked me to send it the faculty of staff, which I don't have those emails so I just sent it to the assistant to the dean Megan, and also reminded Megan, so I re emailed her, then I am working on a bill for senator Carr and then I’m going to do the dean write up after this.

College of Businessa. Tylor Brown- Cool so you know, nothing is really happening in

the college business at all. Dean is a very busy person so we

don't think he is going to have time to do donuts with dean. We’re trying squeeze in a last meeting time but before he goes to China like every other week. I don't know if we should bring this to the senate. About the NCLC conference and theres’s like 100 students trying to go to this conference and so really we want to look at how, if, do we want to fund these people? It’s about $187 per person.

b. Chair L’Ecuyer: It’s about 14,000 altogether.c. Senator Brown: And so would we fund an educational leader-

ship experience? Have we historically done that? There's a lot of questions we have to look at. We also have to look at the president that we want to set. Do we want to fund future po-tential leaders?

d. Chair L’Ecuyer: I am going to wait to talk to Vanessa about the idea that we talked about and then wait to bring that, hopefully next senate meeting.

e. Kristine: Is a bill being written? Or is that the conversation?f. Chair L’Ecuyer: No it’s a conversation about how we should go

about doing it. Because either we could do one lump sum of 14,000 but that breaks every president rule we have, or we can do each individual person which would be 100 bills total. Or we could be creative and do other things. I mean I doubt we’re going to make 100 separate bills I think that would be a little rough.

g. Senator Carr: I was thinking we could add a line, because it’s something that people have been going to like every year. I went when I was in NSG and so I know we have a small confer-ence budget line, so maybe we could create something specific to it. You know max it at a number of people that can be funded for it.

h. Chair L’Ecuyer: That’s actually what Senator Brown and I had brought up. We could create a future leaders line that we could give even 20-25 thousand dollars to and if people have shown proposals like this that we feel strongly about, because I agree NCLC is a great conference. It’s great that they are doing a big massive get together for everyone to go together so maybe if there's other things like that in the future, I mean why not as a student body support leadership in future endeavors.

i. Tori O’Reilly- College of Engineering, Forestry and Natural Sciences

a. Sarah Holditch- Congratulations to our new sustainability director, I am very excited to work with you to make NAU more sustainable. Had to duck out early to set up for dinner with the dean. Let’s hope it’s productive and informative for dean and the students of CEFNS. I am also working with the Breakfast Club to help with the food fair on December

2nd planning to work with the sustainability director to maybe get a table there, so if anyone wants to help. Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving and safe travels.

b. Alyssa Anderson - No reportc. Stella Carr- I attended Cocosus this morning, there was no

new information, Rich Boehn is still playing catch up and he said you know keep doing what we’re doing on ASNAU’s end and just think beyond the students control and even if they get our approval, they basically can’t say the president can support it. And then tomorrow I am going to a meeting about the solar panel project. It’s awesome that we got the sustainability director hired. And then we have the dinner with the dean right now. As I was walking over here I thought that it would be pretty cool, maybe next semester, Chantz and PR could work on live streaming senate meet-ings so we can be C Spanned and archive them because I think like the minutes are really boring and seeing them live, no I mean it’s good written out thing. No one wants to read 20 pages but if you can watch it from home or it can be a cool way to engage with other people. For next semester ideas I am thinking about, looking into expanding the de-scription of senators because I think we do a lot more than what our description says. Just to make it more transpar-ent. And this is way long term but trying to a graduation week event, I know it’s hard, because there are graduates every semester. But a lot of students have senior week things like that. We do a lot for freshman at NAU, so trying to do something as a send off would be cool.

d. Chair L’Ecuyer: Where is the meeting tomorrow? e. Kristine: In the International Pavillion. It says conference

room upstairs.f. Senator Carr: Solar panel project was a Green Fund pro-

posal but it was in the president's hand this semester. It was supposed to start this semester but it didn’t, so I think it’s just an update of what's going on. Because there was the APS credits but that was taken away, so they're trying to negotiate a deal or is it just an update on what is happening.

g. Chair L’Ecuyer: Kyle is going to be our ASNAU representa-tive and Stella is going to be there on behalf of everybody she is involved with. If you want to go, feel free to go too.

Advisor Reports (Cindy Anderson and Kristine Heflin)

Cindy Anderson— So first off most important thing, you guys have a great Thanksgivng. I am taking off next Tuesday and Wednesday. And then for your

favorite news update, parking. I thought you should hear, because I believe either today or tomorrow coming up on the agenda is a new initiative for ap-proval for a new honors college. They are also seeking permission for fund-ing, to build a 661 bed residence hall and academic space including 7 class-rooms that would go on lot P30, that is directly south of Tinsley or due east of Applied Research And Development, where the Carnival was. And the news is that parking lot will likely close on the Monday after Thanksgiving. So appar-ently everyone who holds permits for that lot is going to be given options, be-cause some of those people live in Tinsley, live in Allen, live in Wilson. So there is still space available behind Reilly, behind the library, I think there is going to be some parking garage. But they need to spilt them up and then they're saying where they want to park and then wait there’s more. Knoles drive will then be closed at the intersection up to about the driveway that goes to the parking spaces or Applied Research and Development. And then just to make things more fun, after finals University Drive will close at Knoles and that will remain closed until spring break. So do not drive on campus. To go to south campus the only way is to go down San Francisco, everything is going to be re routed, almost every utility for campus, all the systems, ITS, sewer, water, almost everything is running under lot P30.

Chair L’Ecuyer: Was there nowhere else they could think to build?

Cindy: The nice thing is when it’s done its going to be a nice beautiful entry focus point there not a parking lot. A major bummer while it’s under con-struction. The Sky View next to Gabaldon has parking so we’ll actually pick up volume but I’m not gonna lie I think circulation is going to be a challenge.

Parker: Did they mention anything about the busses?

Cindy: Yes so we’ll see if they reshelter the bus stops, they've already said it’s going to do. I think there are some one ways that are going to become 2 ways. What I would say is for those of you who represent, or live in the area. You’re probably going to be more important than anyone else in this.

Kristine Heflin— So not a lot, I’ve been working with Parker to get the elec-tions up for the designs. I’m trying to think anything else for ASNAU, I’ll be in the office Monday Tuesday Wednesday, if you want to come hang out.

Senator Nielson: Is there any information you have about UTV-62 that you can hand out?

Kristine: I’ll look and see. Yeah I can.

Senator Nielson: Just to see if it’s a fee paying class.

Senator Martinez: Can it get disapproved?

Chair L’Ecuyer: Can you disapprove a bill? Yeah we can revoke. But I don't think we can un fund them.
