UB pushes for Jody Sweetin
University Board will need to get the approval of the Student Senate to bring Stephanie Tanner to campus.
At tonight’s Student Senate meeting, Members will consider the proposed $20,000 lecture allocation for UB.
The money would be used to bring Jody Sweetin of “Full House” and two cast members from the FX show “Black White.” These speakers are part of the Spotlight Series.
Part of the money will also go towards three Crossfire Series, which will be a debate style lecture. There will be three Crossfire speakers.
At the Nov. 2 Apportionment Board meeting, the allocation passed unanimously.
In other business, a resolution recommending the student yearbook, The Warbler, publish all student Panther Card pictures has been pulled.
Warbler editor Nikki Sprehe and Student Body President Sean Anderson met yesterday about putting the pictures in the yearbook.
“It was discussed putting in all the seniors, which is around 2,000 students,” Sprehe said.
If the entire student body were placed in the yearbook, it would take up 95 of the 240-page book.
Anderson contacted Legal Services and found that it would not be legal for the Panther Card pictures to be published, she said. It could happen next year if it is stated on the Panther Card contract.
Also, Elaine H. Hairston of Academic Search Inc. will speak to the Student Senate.
Academic Search Inc. is the company that has been contracted for the Presidential Search Committee, said Student Senate Speaker Kent Ohms.
“She wanted to come and give a slight presentation on what they do and get a bit of feedback from students and student senators,” Ohms said.
While there are ideas for replacing President Lou Hencken, who plans on retiring after this year, they want the students’ view, he said.
Also, a bylaw change that would allow the purchase of office supplies without seeking Student Senate approval will be voted on. Phone bills and student executive tuition waivers would also not require Student Senate approval.
Student Senate meets at 7 p.m. in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
