Board. At this tim e the Board voted tha Uie Executive Com mittee and Board advisor would establish by-laws and present them to the board for approval at the next meeting. Removal of members (no par ticulars) had been discussed at one meeting because of lack of participation but no formal action was taken. 5. The petition states that the C. U. B. is considering new regulations v/hich treat grants for Dorm events as loans and require full payment of the principal and 60% of gate receipts. A proposal came before the Board which set down procedures for groups requesting funds from the C. U. B. Due to a lack of quorum, no vote was taken. "Die proposal did state that a percentage may be returned to the C. U. B.; however, the proposal did not ask for both full reimbursements and 60% of gate receipts. 6. Tlie petition states that the C. U. B. attempted to cut in half the films to be shown this year without benefit of a full report or even in the prosecen fo the chairman of tlie film series. At the Novem ber 8th meeting, it was brought to the attention of the Board that there was a possible overbudgetin by the movie committee chairman. Subjects discussed at this time were: a) attendance at the movies b) number of films under contract c) relevancy of having 4 films per month d) amount of money collec ted at the gate. A motion that the film series be limited to two per month was tabled until a report could be obtained from the movie committee chair man, who was not present at the time of this discussion. . One of the Board members then summoned the film com mittee chairman from the dining area. The film com mittee chairman was asked to present a written report to the Board at the*first C. U. B. meeting after 'Dianksgiving break but chose instead to report orally to the Board right then. The original motion was again brought up but, voted down. The Board v/ould like to restate that the. main reason for this discussion was to determine if there was, indeed, an over budgeting, and if a movie every weekend was relevant. Tlie C, U. B. does not wish to eradicate the film series, as so stated by the Lance. We, the C. U. B. as an en tity, represent the whole cam pus and it is the responsibility of the student to offer feed back on past and future programs that could be spon sored by the C. U. B. If you have any questions please stop by to see one of us and discuss it, don’t let this op portunity pass by. Ed Wilson, President Shannon Huff, Vice President Grada Byrd, Treasurer Margaret Kays, Secretary Kathleen Benzaquin, Ad- , visor Executive Board be revealed. This reporters frankly ad- i mits not understanding how cutting film showings from . four to two a month is not eut- ‘ ting the series in half. Con tentions that this would , provide better movies are questionable in view of the already superior quality of the series. In the face of 1 Thompson’s counterargumen ts, contentions of preventing the fihn sries from having a deficit do not hold up. Reports of the meeting : given to this reporter conflict greatly with the account given by the Executive Board and the CUB minutes, it should be noted again that the LANCE report was taken the day after the meeting in in dependent intfci-views. Fur ther, v/hile critizing the LAN CE for presenting an in complete record of the meeting, the CUB presented minutes which did not ac curately record: a) which members were present b) sponsors of all motions e) exact content of all motions d) a roll-call vote for each motion. Whil the CUB contends the LANCE erroneously reported voles, a Tlie LANCE figures are inaccurately, the number of people recorded voting in the minutes ranged from 11, to 13, to 14, and back to 13 agaui. The CUB Executive Board presents a different account of the November 9 meeting is evidence that the meeting was indeed “stormy” and “confused.” While allowing for differences of opinion on several details (most of which were not printed), this writer must stand on the account of the meeting substantially as it was written. e kirlrnfT '
