Meeting #16<br />
4/7/2011<br />
(I) Budget Requests<br />
(A) Jewish Law Students Association (Jared Arader)<br />
(1) Requesting additional funds for Passover event. Have $100 approved, asking<br />
for an additional $100. Went over the amount given last year. Seemed clear at<br />
the meeting for this year's event that the cost for food would again exceed this<br />
amount. (Total of $200).<br />
(a) Nick O - Motion to approve as requested.<br />
(i) Motion Approved.<br />
(2) Next Wednesday, will be having an expert Rabbi in the Jewish legal system.<br />
(Religious law v. American Law). Would like $50 for food.<br />
(a) Nick O - Motion to approve as requested.<br />
(i) Motion Approved<br />
(3) Request to make a $36 donation to Rabbi's organization.<br />
(a) Kevin - In the future, probably want to figure out whether or not we<br />
want to approve "donations" of this sort.<br />
(b) Ed - Don't see any problems with giving money amounts to speakers<br />
verses giving money to groups to donate to organizations.<br />
(c) Nick O - Should give an honorarium to the Rabbi, and allow him to put<br />
the money towards his organization. That way, we are not giving money<br />
as donations.<br />
(d) Nick P - Motion to approve $36 as an honorarium to the Rabbi.<br />
(i) Motion Approved<br />
(B) Ping-Pong Tournament Proposal (Nathaniel Sugarman)<br />
(1) 20 people have signed up thus far. Will have a couple rounds in the next week<br />
or so, and on Friday the 29th will be the Semi's (two sets of matches), followed by<br />
a study break, and followed by the Finals. Requesting $65 for equipment<br />
(paddles<br />
and balls), $105 for food, and $60 for awards for first and second place.<br />
Total of $230.<br />
(a) Nick O - Motion to approve request.<br />
(i) Motion Denied.<br />

quote for the awards.<br />
(ii) Nick O - If details are an issue, can always have Nate come<br />
back when he has more specificity as to where the money will go.<br />
(iii) Nate - Fine coming back, but suggests approving food amount.<br />
(iv) Motion fails (6 in favor, 6 opposed, 1 abstain.)<br />
(c) Franky - Motion to approve $105 for food, $65 for equipment, with<br />
leave to come back pending information on awards.<br />

leave to come back.

(A) Jesse<br />
(1) Spoke with Professor Goldstein about the overall support regarding the idea of<br />
