BSM raises $640, gains 282 members after dance

The Black Student Movement r^alsed $640
and satisfied the Campus Governing Coun-
cil'i $600 membership dues requirement for
the 1981-82 year, BSM Chairperson Mark
Canady said.
During the spring, the CGC sets a dollar
amount of dues the BSM must raise in order
to obtain future funds. The organization col
lected the required $600 and gained 282
members following the semester's first
dance, which was sponsored by the BSM
membership committee, Canady said at a
special BSM meeting Aug. 22.
"In past years, the money raised from
membership drives had to go towards the
CGC dues category in our budget," Canady
said. "Since we satisfied that requirement,
we can spend that money on other project."
Smith Turner and Allen Russell, BSM
membership chairpersons, said they were
pleased with the amount of money raised
and with the Initial number of members.
"The dance was a success because it was
the first one of the semester in Great Hall and
many people did not have many things to do
on that Thursday night (Aug. 20)." Turner
said.
"It was a fair deal when you look at it,"
Russell said. "The jam was really free be
cause the people paid only for the mem
bership and not the jam."
Turner and Russell said the ultimate goal
of their membership committee is to sign up
at least 600 students as BSM members this
academic year.
In other business, the central committee
passed four amendments to the BSM con
stitution. The constitution will indule two
aspects about membership — any person
participating in a BSM subgroup must be a
BSM member, and the membership dues
will remain $2 year round.
An amendment also clarified the role of
Mi^BSM. The amendment states that Miss
BSM must have at least a 2.0 grade point
average, serve as an ex-officio member of
the central committee, coordinate a public
service project, and serve as hostess for the
BSM.
Sandra Tate, the 1980-81 Miss BSM said
this amendment will clear up the vague
ideas some students have about the roll of
Miss BSM.
The central committee passed an amend
ment outlining nine rules to the treasury laws
for the BSM. In further action, the committee
approved an amendment naming the United
Christian Fellowship as an official repre
sentative at BSM meeting. UCF Chairperson,
Jacqueline Overton will serve as UCF repre
sentative at BSM meetings.
Canady concluded the meeting by outlin
ing four BSM directives for this school year.
"The BSM should have more community
involvement, more members and mem
bership involvement, more student aware
ness on campus, and an increase of com-
munltive abilities by the BSM."
