Needed for sound system - $1000
ITSC will give $300
Asking SGA for $350

rest
2
minutes preliminary debate
great idea, will help students which
is SGA’s mission
only asking for $350 and we’re
getting money back from club budgets
we have $1980 currently in the budget
sound system is important and very
hard to get at Eastern
good idea, will promote student
development
Mark
O. moved to accept the Jammin’ Java Request for Funds of $350
Nate
seconded
2
minutes pro con debate
+ $350, but not more, because they
can get it from other departments and Student Development should be contributing
along with SGA
- will not help out all students,
only those who go to concerts
+ but it is available to all students
+ good investment for Eastern, has
potential to draw interest of bands and the community
Jammin’
Java is an Eastern organization
