Global Rights of Women asked for the movie “The Water Carriers” ($17.93), 2 dozen val cookies (9.70) and publicity ($5).  Since the movie will be donated to the library, it was funded.  Cookies were not funded because we do not fund food for this non-intro meeting.  Publicity was reduced to $2.50.  In total, GROW was recommended $20.43.

Amherst Mixed Martial Arts Organization asked for 9 uniforms ($629.45) and an instructor for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ($900.00).  Uniforms were funded in full.  Since there is a precedent that no club can receive more than $3000 for coaching, and this club had already reached that limit through other coaching fees previously paid, there was a discussion whether this Jiu Jitsu course would count as more coaching or a workshop (which would be outside the $3000 coaching limit).  In the end BC considered this a workshop, and therefore this workshop must be advertised as such, $10 publicity was added.  In total, 1539.45 was recommended.

Men’s project asked for $40 food and $10 publicity for intro meeting.  Full funding recommended.

The Element asked for $2900 for 700 color issues.  Club states color is necessary to properly view graphs, tables, and figures.  BC recommended that the Element consider only having some pages in color and so tabled this request until the Element gets a better idea of the cost of partial color.

ACOC asked for $200 for Corn Maze Admission for 25 people.  Emergency allocation was needed and the BC recommended in full and with emergency allocation.

Indoor Soccor asked for team registration ($1530), team uniforms ($300), team balls (100), and cleats (600).  After inquiry, the team informed us that $100 in cleats would be sufficient.  $10 was added for club publicity.  Total of $2040 recommended.

Women’s Ultimate needed an additional $50 for Regionals tournament fee.  Recommended in full.

College Republicans requested Posters $10, buttons $20, handouts $5, advertising $25, and vigil supplies $40.  BC reduced posters to $0 and advertising to $15 because they needed three sets of posters for the entire week and one set of table tents.

Investment Club requested and was recommended $147.68 for tutorial handbooks.

Asian Students Association asked for a performance fee $800, transportation/housing $200, and $10 publicity to bring the Ken Oak Band to campus.  The BC suggested ASA to attempt to find funding from other sources so the vote was tabled.

Mountain Biking Team (AMBIR) asked for 2 recreational bikes $2000, a replacement chain $40, 5 replacement tubes $50, clipless pedals $85 and clipless shoes $100.  Replacement chain was no longer needed so it was reduced to $0.  Discussion over the expensive cost of the recreational bikes; however, the club reasoned that higher quality bikes would require less maintenance and therefore less money over the long run.  Recommended $2230.
