Old Business:

Conditions of the deal include: One of the players must have an NYU student ID, usage will only include basketball, other students are allowed to join games when appropriate and NYU has the right to discontinue use. Dean Scotch will write the letter to the Hunter facility to grant access.

Housing: Housing has notified us of a 3% increase in rent coming soon

Wiring of Skirball: Wiring of Skirball is estimated to cost $150,000-200,000. Dr. Nachbar would like us to send them a formal request to look into wiring again before they can re-estimate the cost.

Security in the residence halls: Students have complained about Security issues in the residence halls, most specifically Skirball. Eric will write a letter to security enumerating some of the problems.

Mental Status: Demetre and Brian are starting work on Mental Status and would like Class Presidents to write articles about what their class is doing. In addition, could class representatives write about class activities? If any clubs or organizations wish to write articles they are also welcome. Anonymous articles will not be published. The deadline for articles will be announced soon.
