A campus Frisbee golf course is one step closer to becoming a reality.

At Thursday night’s Apportionment Board meeting, a unanimous resolution recommended Ken Baker, director of Campus Recreation, to present three different ideas.

Aside from the Frisbee golf course, the board recommended that Baker present for two additional elliptical machines and a set of ten Curves machines, which are “non-intimidating” weight machines.

Combined together, the projects would cost around $50,000.

Baker originally presented the idea to the board at the previous meeting.

He asked the board to make a recommendation on what he should pursue.

An informal survey conducted by Apportionment Board found that 109 out of 145 students supported all three ideas.

Students liked the Frisbee golf course idea, said board member Travis Bounds.

Students would like the Frisbee golf course hands down, said board member Eric Wilber. The elliptical machines could wait until next year’s budget.

Baker plans to present all three ideas to the board at the Jan. 18 meeting.

“We got positive feedback from the students, so we take it to the next step and make a formal presentation,” Baker said.

In other business, University Board gave a presentation on the National Association for Campus Activities Mid-America Regional Conference.

The conference allows UB to save money on performers and speakers by booking events with other schools.

Some of the acts can be viewed at showcases.

There are also educational sessions that are attended by UB members.

Gretchen Claypool, UB Comedy chair, said that she was able to save money on comedian Jen Kober by creating a block with other schools.

Also, a $4,000 allocation was approved to allow student government to invite 17 more schools to the Illinois Student Government Associations Conference

The allocation was brought to Apportionment Board, because Student Body President Sean Anderson vetoed a previously approved line-item transfer.

The money was originally to come from leftover bus money from the Tennessee-Martin football game, but that money is to be returned to Apportionment Board.
