Approval for a disc golf course on campus is getting closer to realization.

Student Senate will meet tonight and three allocation proposals totaling $49,745 will be introduced.

The proposals were unanimously approved last week at the Apportionment Board meeting.

The disc golf course proposal would allocate $15,769 for purchase and installation of the course.

About one-third of the cost for the nine-hole disc golf course is for university employees to install it, said Ken Baker, director of Campus Recreation.

Another allocation for $23,036 is for the purchase of 10 “Curves-like” circuit trainers.

The other allocation proposal is for $10,940 for two elliptical trainers with monitors.

Baker said he was not aware if a presentation to Student Senate was needed.

He has made three presentations at AB meetings since December.

Student Senate Speaker Jeff Lange said that he would like to see a presentation this week or next on the new additions to the Student Recreation Center.

Levi Bulgar, student vice president for business affairs, said that he will ask Baker to attend the Feb. 8 Student Senate meeting to answer questions from Student Senate members before a vote is taken.

Bylaws state that proposals cannot be voted upon until their second reading.

If a presentation is needed, Baker said he would be glad to do it.

Other business at the meeting includes a vote on a proposed bylaw change.

The change would require the Student Senate External Relations to research and prepare information for the voting members of the Illinois Board of Higher Education-Student Advisory Committee.

Also, an allocation proposal for $200 will be introduced.

The money would be used to purchase refreshments for the Student-Teacher Interaction Program’s first event at an Eastern basketball game, Lange said.

Student Senate meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday’s in the Arcola-Tuscola Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
