The purpose of the Student Council (StuCo) meeting on Tuesday was to discuss the direction of StuCo this year.
The topic first brought to attention was what StuCo should do after intersession.
Manish Gala, president of StuCo, said that during the second semester, StuCo activities seem to be less regular than in the fall term. To correct this problem, Gala suggested a spring StuCo retreat to try to boost morale.
Gala also reported that the treasury is doing well due to the increase of StuCo-funded organizations seeking outside funding. Priti Dalal, StuCo vice president, announced that applications to co-chair the Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium, a student lecture series, would be available at Wolman. There will also be an informational session about the Symposium led by this year's symposium chairs.
The Academic Affairs Committee is in the process of speaking with the Career Center in the hopes of encouraging Hopkins recruitment. They are also trying to convince the administration to accept more Advanced Placement exams for either credit or advanced placement.
StuCo is also looking for tests to scan into the new exam reserve Web site.
A list of places where lights should be located on Charles Villages is being compiled to be given to the administration, which will be in turn given to Baltimore City.
The junior class is hosting a comedy night on Friday, Nov. 22, and they encouraged all students to sign up. The deadline to sign up is on Thursday, Nov. 14. There will be a screening of all routines Friday, Nov. 15.
It was at this point in the meeting that those unaffiliated to StuCo were asked to leave so that a private discussion could be held.
"The purpose of a closed meeting was so that there could be an open discussion amongst members," said sophomore class Vice President Megan Coe. "There was not any policy discussed that would affect the student body.
