ASWU approves requisitions from Frisbee, media

ASWU members passed two requisitions for funds at the Nov. 28 meeting.

A majority of members approved a requisition from the Whitworth Ultimate Frisbee Club for $500 from ASWU's unallocated budget for use toward travel costs and tournament fees.

There is currently $5,613.64 in the unallocated budget, Financial Vice President Luis Lopez said.

The motion to approve a lower amount of $210 failed by a voice vote. After discussion, members unanimously approved the original amount of $500 instead.

Kelly said there is currently an "unpleasant odor" in the basement.

Kelly said Facilities Services sealed the penetration Wednesday afternoon in order to force the vapor into the mechanical room, where there is an exhaust system.
