IPTAY pilfers parking for 25K
Senate sacrifices student spots.

After a vote from Clemson Undergraduate Student Government, it has been decided that R-1 parking lot will be reserved for IPTAY on football game days.
This resolution was argued for hours to clarify the details. IPTAY and athletics will use an estimated $20,000 for busing, security and port-a-potties for students in the lot at Kite Hill.
In addition to this, IPTAY will make a yearly donation to the Student Government Capital Improvement Fund of $25,000.
This resolution was passed with an approximate two-thirds favorable vote. Future voting records will show what senators voted for and against this resolution.
Other issues included the current warning system and the approval of the President's Cabinet.
The meeting began with a speech from Capitan Hendricks of the Clemson University Police Department (CUPD) who spoke to the increase of security on campus and CUPD's preparedness for disasters ranging from lightning to an active shooter.
The Senate Pro Tempore Ganesan raised the question if Clemson was safe if a major disaster were to befall the campus.
Capitan Hendricks responsed that Clemson has worked tirelessly to do drills and tests with the surrounding emergency groups and hospitals to ensure that things would run smoothly if there is an emergency. The tests show that Clemson is very prepared.
A bill was put into second read to create a new part of Student Government called the Division of Information. Senator Dan Ebner said that this new Division would create a massive increase of information sharing from CUSG to the rest of the student body.
Senator Stephen Mistoler said that the proposed Division is "like the new kid on the block and should be given a chance for a year."
Opposition Senators said that the new Division will overlap multiple current positions and is full of redundant jobs. In the end the Senate voted against the bill.
The Senate approved new Student Body President Callie Boyd's new Cabinet. The permanent positions saw no debate, nor did the nine new positions. The Senate, however, became resistant when an expansion of Cabinet was brought up.
President Boyd requested a one year appointment for the positions of Executive Assistant and Campus and Community Development Director.
After both positions were initially struck down, the Senate saw a new bill that did approve the CCD Director.
The last bill was no bill at all; it was the resolution in support of IPTAY switching R-1 and Kite Hill parking lots on game days. R-1 would no longer be a resident parking lot, but would become a general admission parking lot.

Very interesting blog. The permanent positions saw no debate, nor did the nine new positions. The Senate, however, became resistant when an expansion of Cabinet was brought up. (Continued…)

For 48 years we supported Clemson Iptay through the good and bad times when they could not even fill the stadium. When they raised the Iptay Payment, we paid and when they offered the Life Donor Program, we paid that. (Continued…)
