HA
lack of quorum
requires dorm ballots
Without a quorum, no official action could be taken at the
Residence Hall Association (RHA) meeting Thursday night, but it
was decided to send absentee ballots to the dorms which were not
represented so that the agenda items could be decided.
A quorum could not be established because several dorm
governments have not yet appointed representatives for next year.
The ballots will be sent to the dorm presidents who will be asked
to make the decisions for their halls.
The three items to be included on the ballot include the
approval of a treasurer appointed by the president, funding for the
executives to attend conferences over the summer and the planning
of a retreat for the RHA Council to be held at the beginning of
next year.
These items were all approved on a roll-call vote by the
representatives present, and are pending approval by those dorms
not represented.
,Paul Harano, Harper Hall, was appointed treasurer by president
Sue Ihne, subject to Council approval.
A motion was made that RHA pay the registration fees for the
executives to attend housing conferences during the summer. The
secretary and treasurer are planning to attend the National RHA
Conference in Wisconsin, for which the registration fee is $60 per
person. The president and vice-president would attend the
Mid-west RHA Conference in Oklahoma for a registration fee of
$48 per person. Representatives to the conferences woul pay their
own traveling expenses.
The other motion on the ballot calls for the RHA Council to
hold a retreat in the fall of next year to establish goals for the year
and to improve communication among the representatives. It sets a
cost limit of $100 and authorizes the president to make plans for
the retreat over the summer.
In other business, the Council made plans for a picnic to be held
Thursday, May 1 in Pioneers Park. Guests will include new and old
RHA members, dorm presidents and members of the housing
office.
The purpose of the picnic, according to Ihne, is to allow the
representatives "to get to know each other, and to get to know the
members of the housing staff."
"We're supposed to be working closely with the members of the
housing staff," she said, "and it'd be a good idea if we got to know
them."
FINKS, SMILES
to welcome freshmen
By Lisa Brown
When students return to the residence halls next fall, they'll find
about 240 FINKS, SHRINKS, and SMILES waiting to help them
move in and show them around.
FINKS, SHRINKS and SMILES are volunteer UNL students
working under a student government program-Freshman
Indoctrination of Nebraska Kids (FINK)-to initiate and sponsor
social activities in the halls during FINK week, August 20-24.
Most of the halls' volunteers are called FINKS, but those in
Smith call themselves SMILES (Smith Means I like Everyone).
Schramm volunteers call themselves SHRINKS (Schramm Hall
Indoctrination of New Kids).
Robin Buchman, FINK chairman, represents the Reisdence Hall
Association (RHA) and coordinates complex activities planned by
FINK complex chairmen, complex program directors and
volunteers. Marie Hansen, coordinator for residence hall programs,
and Buchman work together to distribute information and
schedules.
Planning now
All activities are in the planning stages, Buchman said. Those
now being considered include a dance Friday night and movies
Saturday for all complexes, and a water balloon fight, watermelon
feed, barbecue and hayrack ride for some complexes.
In past years an ice cream feed was sponsored for freshmen
during FINK week, Hansen said, but this year there won't be one.
She said there also won't be any campus organized tours on the
university level for new students. '
Hansen said that although the activities are directed toward
freshmen, they are open to all residents. By Thursday of FINK
week, about 60 per cent of the students have moved in, she said,
and noted that the majority are new students who would be more
interested in the activities.
The student government spends about 50 cents per resident for
FINK week from its allotted $3.50 per resident per semester,
Buckman said. The volunteers receive free meals during FINK week
and a T-shirt identifying them as FINKS.
Biggest, best '
Hansen, who has worked with the program for several years,
said she expects this year's to be the biggest and best yet. She said
more enthusiastic students are working in the program than have in
the last three years.
Each floor will have two Finks.
" Buchman said they started organizing the program before spring
break, and that correspondence between complex chairpersons will
continue over summer, when the final schedule will be prepared.
