Hullo readers off in internet land. This week's senate meeting brings us lots of newsy news! Yay!

Liz Sabel made an announcement regarding the Student Life Recognition Awards. These awards are given to outstanding students who work in or out of separate or united clubs to help make the campus a better place, or for outstanding service learning work, and some are awarded with cash prizes.

Secondly, the senate is planning two field trips of sorts to the capital to talk with lobbyists and other government-y folk about things like increased funding for textbooks, larger bus pass student discounts, etc, and call this field trip experience Advocacy Days. They've alloted enough money to send 12 senators.

Senator Katie Touran has moved to create and chair a Scholarship committee-- this is intended to help with students looking for scholarships, or just awareness of what scholarships are available to Normandale students in general. 

Finally, Advocate Bill Preston brought up some an on-campus event called Campus Fued. This would be similar to the set-up on the T.V. show Family Feud: two teams of five people compete to answer questions the best they can. Our twist? We'd be pitting Normandale Clubs against each other. Sounds like fun!
