Hey everyone,
If you volunteered to be an officer please electronically sign your Officer Declaration Form asap so we can get the next steps done.
A Constitution Needs to be written:

http://www.sua.umn.edu/groups/forms/constitution_2.pdf
here is one that i slightly edited: Download file
lots still needs to be done (ex: what do officers do? do we vote? etc.)
PLEASE EDIT AND REPOST!
the equal opportunity form needs to be turned in:

We also need to make an appointment with a Student Unions and Activities Officer to discuss our constitution and turn in a $25 check.

Our groups ID number is 2131.
We don't get the liability insurance and other benefits until we finish all the steps so we should probably get it done sooner rather than later.
• What would you do in this situation? (Officer and Legal advisor)
• What if we write “FUCK BUSH” on the side of a wall? Extremes…(Officer)
• What if someone else does something that we don’t believe in? What are we as a group liable for? What do we need to be careful of in terms of keeping other people in check? (Legal)
• What bike laws, if not followed would really get us into trouble? Signaling turns etc. (Legal and Officer)
• What things should we be aware of when going out? What are major things we can get caught up on, legally?
• Generator laws…
We are ON for a panel discussion on Feb. 13, 2:30-4:30pm, in Regis (room to be decided).
The event is during our class hours, but the start time gives us 1 hour to prepare our thoughts and space.
The participants are the following:
-Mary Altman, Minneapolis Art Commission Public Arts Coordinator (confirmed)
-Mike Hoyt, Director of Kulture Klub (confirmed)
-Nora Paul, Director of the Institute for New Media Studiesat the U of M (confirmed)
-Jim Nystrom, UMN Police officer responsible for West Bank and Athletic Facilities (confirmed)
-Tracy Smith, UMN General Council Attorney in charge of student activities (confirmed)
-Steve Johnson, UMPD Deputy Chief
I will act as a moderator for the first segment of the panel discussion (about one hour); we then open the discussion to questions and answers for another hour.
Please leave your thoughts on questions to ask and topics to address as comments to this post.
