E-Board reports on Mueller Center smoke and success of CMVP Program

Last Monday, the Mueller Center observed smoke affecting the weight and cardio rooms at 4:32 pm, according to Jacob Fuhr ’25. President of the Union Cat Philipps ’24, ’25G stated that while everyone is safe, damage assessments are ongoing.

The Course Materials Value Pack is a program established by the Student Senate in collaboration with the Director of the Union Dr. Charlie Potts and the Collegiate Store. The program bulk orders course materials such as e-textbooks to students in certain general classes at discounted prices from the publisher. Since the program’s introduction, it has already saved around $140,000 for just over 3000 students, per Potts.

A small summary of the reports presented are as follows: budgeting discussions for the Union are scheduled for January, with administrative budgets likely to be addressed in November, and the Freshman Hill sports courts are nearing completion, with a dedication planned for November.

The Executive Board meeting was held on October 9. The E-Board meets weekly on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm in the Shelnutt Gallery.
