There are a lot of things that need can be changed and KARI RUSSEL: I am here to get your thoughts on getting a new service which is a structured no credit internship. You will not have to pay for this. You fill out an internship with career service. You will do 150 hours during the semester. Their will be a high degree of learning. 1 MICHELLE BISCATO: Sorry I couldn't be here last week. I wanted to talk more about the magazine. The magazine is a very last minute thing. Everyone seemed to think that we had the money for me to go over budget. To not put in more copies is a punch to those who have art in the magazine. A lot of reason why the magazine was late was because I did most of the work myself and when I needed to get the board together to discuss the submissions, they couldn't make it for a week and a half. We have about half the magazines gone already. People pick up the magazine not because of the cover. ASSOCIATE CHIEF JUSTICE CHAPEL: We submitted a funding report for the ROTC but it wasn't time stamped so I didn't receive any funding. I was told that the senate might entertain funding us over the summer. Thanks. VI. REPORTS A. Senate Committee Reports B. Faculty Senate/University Committee Reports C.
