B. SOFC Update (Cortni Jones, Student Bursar)

Lindsey Boylan CGP, CGP: Will the student bursar please come to discuss SOFC Update

Cortni Jones, Student Bursar: So SOFC has been hard at work as usual. At our spring budgeting we had some outstanding treasurers and we want to recognize them. They really are the type of people who help this college and they are on top of their game:

Janet Ng, Meera Sheffrin, Emily Jenkins, Katherine Hutchinson, Sarah Zhang, Kristen Cuneo, Katherine Adams. If you know any of these people thank them! We had some questions about the lectures fund; I think everyone needs to be educated about SOFC policy. There are multiple deadlines for lectures funding. There are more openings in the fall so have no fear. We will also be tackling funding for club sports just let you guys know, we are dealing with that issue. Look for information about how you can put your input into SOFC.

III. New Business

A. SOAC Rep Updates (Michel Ballard, CG VP)

Michel Ballard, CG VP: Next we will be voting on SOAC rep appointments that need to be voted on in House council. (See page 1). Other than cabbies, I want to give a quick thanks to everyone who helped this weekend, I couldn't have done it without you. SCBT will be interviewing this weekend and the board of admission deadline is this Friday.

Sophie Dean Kim Goff-Crews, CPLA chair: Could you explain why only three out of 4 were appointed this time?

Michel Ballard, CG VP: I can't answer that is confidential, but there will be openings in the fall.

Cortni Jones, Student Bursar: Should I keep emailing you if I want to apply for something?

Nanki Marwah, Freeman Senator Marwah, Freeman Senator: Parliamentary inquiry- if we have an answer to a question asked earlier, how do we go about answering that question?

Kelsey Contreras: I will look that up.

Lindsey Boylan CGP, CGP: You can go ahead and answer the question though.

Nanki Marwah, Freeman Senator Marwah, Freeman Senator: during the week, it will be closing at 10. The question on how we price the food, they look at each category of food and have looked at 15 different menus and they are doing a comparison from Boston and Schneider and they have taken a modest average. For lasagna, for example they looked at Boston market. They found what is the closest to what we will be serving.

IV. Open Discussion

A. Campus Center (Pat Byrne)

Lindsey Boylan, CGP: Welcome to Senate, we have a special guest; Pat Byrne is here to talk to us about the new campus center.

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning:

Thanks for accommodating me to go early. The dedication date for the campus is October 21, 2005. We don't know what the celebration is going to entail but keep that mark that date. When we open it in September we don't know what all the decisions will be but there will be a lot decisions to make. There will be a campus center advisory board and they will have a director. We have just appointed the director and this week you will know who that director will be. Her first job is to get the furniture moved into the building. There will be a lot of things to work out once the campus center opens. This building had been designed to be a home for the whole campus. Anyone can come into this space without an invitation and most of all it's supposed to be a place to have fun. Certainly, we will have meetings there and certainly we can study there but we want it be a place for everyone to come together. There have to be things we agree on about the building but we don't want to be a stuffy place we want it to be an open kind of environment. If you look at most buildings there are usually set procedures but we are going to set this together. This building has been in the planning stage since 1998 and along the way every single aspect of this building right down to the rugs on the floor has been decided by all members of the community,. Of faculty students and staff, there have been no unilateral decisions about this. Along the way dozens and dozens of students had input on this building, including students who won't even get to use this building. It wasn't just some architect who came in and thought it up. Let me tell you about something that will be in the building.

The building will have a pub, café hoop, mailboxes and a mail room. The mail room will do everything a US Post office does. There will be a book store and a student resource room for student orgs to share. It will have a computer and materials to use the architect saw it as a sort of design space. There are cabinets with varying sizes and we will need CG's help assigning those. There will also be a coffee room and a dining hall on the third floor. The center will be open to students 24/7. The building will be closed at certain hours and if you want to get in during that time you will need a one card. If someone that doesn't go to Wellesley is in the campus center after the building has been closed they will be considered a guest.

Sophie Kim, CPLA Chair, Student at Large: You mentioned a director, what does this position entail and were they selected internally from the college?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: I don't want to give it way, she is not an event planner but she is in charge of the logistics and the delivers to the buildings and makes sure everything is operating.

Andrea Schwartz, Shafer Senator: I know that when you came earlier this year, we worked on the prices for food and I was wondering what the price would is going to be. I remember when you came and I talked to my constituency, they were concerned with cost being higher.

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: I don't have the numbers. We will be bringing it to the dining services advisory board. We are working to have reasonable price.

Lindsey Boylan CGP, CG President: We can get a Senate presentation on that. >

Cortni Jones, Student Bursar: How are you going to promote that people should say the name correctly?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: Its Wang not "Waang"; it's a campus center not a student center. Maybe we can put fun things in the building to have people remember. I would like to use her first name instead of her last name. But I would like to her name to be pronounced correctly for this.

Clara Peterson, Bates Senator: Why are we having the mail transferred to the new student center? It's so inconvenient.

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: It's a campus center. In the end since we couldn't come to a consensus I take the responsibility for the decision. The delivery in the residence halls is not working. We had a high incidence of packages being missing and we in the administrative end are becoming concerned about this. The campus center is located right next to the academic quad so that you have to come there. It was a fifty -fifty decision.

Ariella Huff, Claflin Senator: Will the building be wireless?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: Yes, there are drops and it will be wireless

SuiLin Yap , Japan Club Senator: I have several questions. Firstly in the post office, will there be official services like in the Ville?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: They have all the services except certified checks.

SuiLin Yap , Japan Club Senator: The convenience stop what will they be selling in comparison with the bookstore

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: They will be selling more grocery items more like motor mart.

SuiLin Yap , Japan Club Senator: Will we be able to swipe?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: No, not in the convenience store

SuiLin Yap , Japan Club Senator: Will there be bank tellers?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: There will be two ATMS one will be Fleet and I don't know what the other one is yet.

SuiLin Yap , Japan Club: What is going to happen to Schneider?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: Everyone has been asking about Schneider and no one wants to know about the new center. You can still go to Schneider; we will use it as swing space. I don't think you will use it once you see what the campus center looks like. We will use at a free space since we can't renovate it and we don't have funding

SuiLin Yap , Japan Club Senator: I have a suggestion. We were wondering whether Schneider could be used for the east side as an exercise facility

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: That can be added to the list of possible options.

Nanki Marwah, Freeman Senator Marwah, Freeman Senator: Molly's name is going to change; do we know what it will be?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: We don't know what the name will be yet. We have many generous donors and the donors are thinking about the name and haven't come up with one yet.

Natalie Archibald, Tower Senator: I have a question regarding the space for parties. Like will there be a space for dances and how is it reserved?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: In the Multipurpose room the party floor can fit 600 people standing up.

Natalie Archibald, Tower Senator: how will it be reserved?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: We don't know yet but we don't want to start reserving before

Natalie Archibald, Tower Senator: So it won't be available until after October 21st

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: not before the 15 th .

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator: A lot of people live in the library and since Stone won't be open after 8, is the new center the only place students can go and get food later at night?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: Yes, the only place is the campus center

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator Greene, Claflin Senator: Is there a position similar to Marilyn Madzar's in the new campus center

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: She will not be the director of the campus center

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator Greene, Claflin Senator: When does the food stop?

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: I think it is at 11

Ellie Blume, Student at Large: You said that Molly's name will be changing, have you been thinking about the significant figures that have had serious impact despite the fact that they are not generous figures like Molly's and the importance of the names behind those figures.

Pat Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning Byrne, Vice President of Administration and Planning: No, I have not been thinking about that.

Lindsey Boylan CGP, CGP: Thank you so much for coming. I'm sure SPOG and Penny look forward to working with you. Next we have Michel with SOAC rep updates.

B. SCBT Student Life (Lindsey Silver and Ellie Blume)

Lindsey Boylan CGP: Ellie Blume and Lindsey Silver for SCBT

Ellie Blume: Lindsey will talk to you about our last meeting.

Lindsey Silver: Our most recent meeting was a little different. This time we had a joint meeting with the academic affairs committee. We had a short presentation by Sara Kelly and she presented the student perspective on advising and the main theme we saw was that students were generally satisfied with advising but they had difficulty finding an advisor. They want more help finding an advisor. The three main questions they had were:

1. What makes faculty advising effective?

2. What makes class dean advising effective?

3. How are faculty and class dean advising roles defined differently?

This is especially a problem for the first year, so they suggested that we assign advisors for first years. They also suggested that we have more than one advisor for each class.

Ellie Blume: The faculty member in my group was a Jr. Faculty member from the econ department. We talked abut advising from dept advising and talked about first year advisor and the issues and turnover in the department. Some departments have a lot of issues with this especially in the humanities and professors going on leave. We also talked about pre professional advising. We decided that's a topic for another time where we work with the CWS and everyone knows the correct place to go. One of the things that happens is that we usually run lat and students and trustees with a lot that they want to say it's hard to do so. One of the things brought up by Adele Wolfson, the Associate Dean was about a new plan for the first year program and advising. She presented several options that they are exploring. First year advising through the FYM groups with a set professor as an advisor. It's a problem that students face when they come here. Deans are looking into it in the coming year.

Lauren Nelson, Pomerory Senator: As far as the first year advisors go, I don't think they should have automatic advisor. They might be able to find a person to advise them much better. So the assigned one should be a default

Ellie Blume: That's a good concern. Students with specific ideas know what they want

Yang Qiu, Severance Senator: I want to echo Lauren; I really like choosing what advisor I want. I think that it would be best for the student to decide

Shelly Anand, CG Sec/Tres: I think that it's hard finding a professor you can relate to and it's especially difficult forming a bond with that person so I think there might be a risk if we decide to give a predetermined advisor.

Lindsey Silver: Some of the good aspects are that the first few weeks students are shy and they have the opportunity to work in a larger group. There is a larger student population that gets intimidated.

Nanki Marwah, Freeman Senator: There are a lot of positive aspects. From personal experience, it is hard for professors to know how to go about fulfilling another major requirement. It could put a student at a really large disadvantage, because the professor would not know a lot about the other departments

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: We were thinking about letting the students pick from a pool of advisors who know what they are doing. There are a lot of students who are very shy. They don't know and we do need to train them.

Ellie Blume: I think first year advising will change with how they can approach their dean

Yang Qiu, Severance Senator: Will this change next year?

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: no

Mikaela Hagen, Severance Senator : I was not very excited about choosing my advisor. I agree with this idea. If we have a comment about the first year experience in general who should I go to?

Ellie Blume: Also I know that 100 didn't turn their advisor forms on time. Students need to have their advisors to register

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator Greene, Claflin Senator: I want to echo Mikeala. I was shy and there is a lot to deal with when you transition to Wellesley . I think there needs to be a strong emphasis on the writing 125 professors. There should also be a first year advising for each dept. During orientation, these professors can help. I know that during my search for an advisor it was helpful

Andrea Schwartz, Shafer Senator: What about transfer student advising?

Ellie Blume: we didn't discuss it, I'm sorry to say

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: we are talking about it

Ariella Huff, Claflin Senator: There is a difference between first year advisor and major advisor.

Lindsey Silver: didn't they talk about continuation of First year advisor until you have a major advisor

Ellie Blume: they did

Natalie Archibald, Tower Senator: the pre assigned advisor is a good idea because a lot of people don't keep the advisor. They can still be there for you in a diff area. If you're not connecting you can always switch

Lauren Nelson, Pomeroy Senator: I think that it's a great idea. It's kind of intimidating because you feel pressured to take another one of their courses. You could automatically put them in a group.

Jennifer Chen, Pomeroy Senator: My concern is that if you assign a certain amt of first years to a specific advisor their might be a lot of upperclasswomen who want to use that professor as an advisor and then the professor becomes overwhelmed and thus they will reject some. It prevents a deep personal connection if a professor has too many students

Ellie Blume: Thank you. One of the things that came up, we got to hear from faculty we heard what their perspective on advising should be. It really depends on the student seeking the advising. Some just get the paper signed some stay in touch with their advisor. Keep that in mind personally as you are going forth. The faculty sees that in equal parts.

Lindsey Silver: With the fym group you would have required dates and so there would be a lot more interaction. Thank you everyone for all your feedback

Lindsey Boylan, CGP :I would use these ladies as point people in addition to contacting Dean Kim Goff-Crews. Next Anna Basevich.

C. Wellesley Centers for Women (Anna Basevich)

Anna Basevich: Hey I'm Anna Basevich and I'm a junior. I'm a SOAC appointed rep for the Wellesley centers for women. I want to tell you what the center does. The WCQ is the works on research, training analysis and action. They are currently working on fifty research and action projects over topics such as gender equity and sexual harassments. The stone center, the part we are most familiar with is the counseling part. Set up in 1974 and stone in 81 and they combined into a partnership. The national center for after school programs has an open schooling which does training for teachers. There is also a stone post doctoral training internship. In 2004 the Wellesley centers attended an international conference from all different backgrounds from all over the world. Some of our goals are to really connect the student body to the center. They focus on research and not student connection.

Catherine Day, Chief Justice: I was about to ask that question. What connections have there been in the past?

Anna Basevich: Honestly there haven't been a lot. We are all connected but one thing we want to have is more information out abut their lunch time seminars and we had a pizza discussion about same sex marriage. We can have researchers come and talk to students

Lindsey Boylan CGP: Are there any student workers from like the psychology department?.

Anna Basevich: there are research programs and internships

Cortni Jones, Student Bursar: how do we go there and is there literature

Anna Basevich: go to the website

Ellie Blume wcwonline

Anna Basevich. The main buildings are the Chiever house, the second floor of the stone center and the Waban house.

Cortni Jones, Student Bursar; where is the Waban house

Ellie Blume: Waban house is up college road. There are about 40 work study positions and there is the summer internship and internships throughout the year.

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator: Do the researchers want to be connected to the student body?

Anna Basevich: That's a valid question. Some of them would like to get a connection and some want to just do their own thing. But there are some that want to make that connection.

Ellie Blume: There are some professors that are really connected

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator: It seems like they would have the seminars on our campus if they were interested

Anna Basevich: If you have any questions let me know

D. Senate Projects (Amita Parashar)

Lindsey Boylan CGP: Thank you. Next we have Amita Parashar talking about the senator's projects.

Amita Parashar, MAC: I am presenting on the outgoing HPC liaison and Jerilyn is here as the new one. You have done a great job with your senator projects. Jerilyn has picked some of her favorites.

Jerilyn Libby, HPC Liaison: We have Andrea, Fiona, Katie, and Fanny presenting on their Senator Projects.

Katie Landise, Severance Senator: In severance we threw a fun lunch with celebrities like Dean Kim Goff-Crews and dressed up.

Fiona Cousland, Beebe Senator: Our project was thinking of ways to spice up your senate report. Make a photo collage of everyone who presented. Keep the report brief by asking them to ask questions later. If you are excited then people will get excited. Also we suggested senate bingo. Our projects final thing will be to show the ideas.

Fanny Tsang, Bates Senator: We worked on creating an Election buzz; we threw a big programming event the night before the east side debate. We had trivia games and prizes for all the residents and we got a cake. We got people excited.

Andrea Schwartz, Shafer Senator: Shafer decided to work on a project benefit the entire campus for students were permanently disabled by interviewing Jim Weiss and other people in the science center. We still want to interview students who are disabled we want to send a report to the senate conference to make into an adhoac next year. We found out that there are similar issues but no one could answer the questions that we had. Students can not get to physical therapy. They depend on the vans. These students get a discount to the golf club. You have to fit your doctor's appt and your class schedule with the van schedule. We looked at how incorporate the escort van and give more jobs to get students to their classes and to their appointments.

Jerilyn Libby, HPC Liaison: We will be in contact with the rest of you and please keep working on your projects.

E. Davis Scholar Identity Project (Kathy Fairhurst-Lown)

Lindsey Boylan CGP: Next we have Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator Fairhurst- Lown and the Davis Scholar Identity project

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator Fairhusrt Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: I just want to introduce you to Janine Penfield and she has had an incredible role

Janine Penfield: The beginning of this year, the treasurer never received funding from SOFC and we found out that we asked for funding under the continuing education fund when we are constituted as the Davis scholars. We did some more research to find out what is continuing education and a lot of schools do not use continuing education. And we decided to firm up our identity. We are reconstituted as the Davis scholar program. Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator is working very hard on editing this information

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: Ultimately, when we are moving around campus, we want to have an identity that is more than just the older women on campus. You probably have Davis scholars on campus and don't even know it. We still have older women and we hope that identity will always remain. We want to integrate ourselves. We don't want to feel like we are a separate part of campus. We started with Dean Kim Goff-Crews and decided it was not a bad idea to make some changes. First the Davis scholar names, finish with one label, is Davis scholar. Reason, Elizabeth Kaiser Davis passed away two years, whenever we had an event we invited her and we want her legacy to continue. We finished our legacy of titles. It's a small group among us. We have a new website that is not ready yet but it's looking really good. We are also trying to spiff up the site. I know that many of you understand what a Davis scholar is. We have housing in the Simpson west, cedar lodge on route 16, and all of those are exclusively Davis scholar housing. We have these changes to our constitution and they rearrange our residence halls. This also decided that by giving us that second senator will give us the opportunity to not only represent our students but also gives our resident hall members a voice in senate. We want to group those halls together. Please come for quorum we really want to finish this business that we have been working on all year.

Sophie Kim, CPLA chair: If these are proposed amendments, isn't there a different procedure with which we proceed?

Meri Smith: Basically they present and next week when they come back we need quorum

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: There isn't an equivalent language that needs to change. The changes are underlined. There are three additions and its more semantics than anything else. In the case of the residence halls, it simply lines up the res halls.

Meri Smith: I worked a lot with this. All the Davis scholars are working for all the res halls. It is lining up the information and reworks the representation.

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: It does not change the number of senators

Katherine Germer, Stone Davis Senator: On article nine section 8a. Are you trying to rewrite everything instead of cont education?

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: we have decided to keep that out of respect for our past sisters and the name of the house. But we will vote as Davis scholars

Catherine Day, Chief Justice: There will be one senator for the entire Davis scholar and the other will be for the house council?

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: They will both be reporting. We are a very odd group. We are not singly using anyone of them. You all know my name; simply let me know if you have any questions. Very basic changes in language.

Meri Smith: These changes should be voted on block.

Lindsey Boylan, CGP: We really need quorum.

Kathy Fairhurst-Lown, Davis Scholar Senator: This is important because our whole constituency has been waiting on this so we want to let them know.

F. Seven Sisters Conference (Alex Kim)

Lindsey Boylan CGP: We can bring this topic to the next senate since there is so much interest. Next we have Alex Dean Kim Goff-Crews presenting on the Seven Sisters conference that we attended this past weekend.

Alex Kim: So Lindsey and I went to New York this past weekend to attend the Seven Sisters Conference at Barnard. The history was that they were defunct for a while and now we are trying to make it a yearly practice. We have five sisters now and actually since Vassar became coed. An interesting fact is that Vassar has not had a female president since they went coed. Smith didn't come because they were having internal issues. It was really interesting and to compare similar women's colleges and what's in the future for us.

Updates- Barnard gave a donation for the Afghan Girls Fund. We want to help each other. For example we will be helping with Barnard and Columbia 's national endowment act.

We also got ideas from Mt. Holyoake , they serve milk and cookies everyday. They have problems like for example, they were asked by the ACLU to sign an act against the national Patriots act. They are also dealing with how to deal with minority conservative voices because of the liberal campus. Mt. Holyoake had a commission to work on a diverse community and we are looking at those issues as well. They do staff appreciation and we want to do that more at Wellesley . We talked about elections and we had the best turnout. We are the only ones that don't allow students to run while abroad. They allow students to run proxy with aim. Barnard is also dealing with opening another building and closing one building as well. They actually don't have senators, or dooca, or a Chief Justice.

Jeanne Amy, Freeman Senator: I was curious if there was any reaction to our alcohol policy and dyke ball and if they have similar problems

Alex Kim: We definitely discussed that. Barnard has a website and that was what we really discussed. They have a lot of different resources because they are with a large university. They have a lot of issues. Barnard students can't swipe into Columbia but Columbia students can swipe into Barnard. Also the Middle Eastern studies department is anti-Semitic.

Lindsey Boylan CGP, CGP: We talked with Mt. Holyoake and we are probably the most aware of it right now that we are discussing the alcohol policy and that together schools are experiencing similar habits.

Alex Kim: At Mt. Holyoake they have adults that you have to talk to get a space for parties.

Ashira Greene, Claflin Senator Greene, Claflin Senator: Did more people turn out to the online debates?

Alex Kim: They have more of a question and answer conference and we are dealing with same issues with technology. Some schools use the facebook for voting. If you want to get involved with the conference contact me

V. Dean's Corner

A. Deans Kim Goff-Crews and Michelle Lepore

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: Michele is out of town but we will see her on Monday. Being at the screen tunnel, I heard someone say that must be a girls school and I yelled it's a women's college. We had open campus that went really well thank you for hosting. We already talked about the trustees meeting and it was the first time we had a joint two hour meeting and it went so well that we are thinking about doing it again. I went to Luda and I came home last. Penny worked hard so did crystal. I was actually just at a meeting working on internships.9 going internationally and 90 internally. Gen Judic meeting Friday seeing if new system has worked. I do know that one of the things we worked on at the beg of the year was how to share information about the charge that was give to phi beta kappa group and the medical advisor group and the pre law advisor, give us their list if their was a violation to get a yes or no. This weekend is the dance marathon and hopefully there is more. This weekend there is hoop rolling. I want to make it a little jazzier. I won't be here next Monday because I'm going to Amherst about student life and multiculturalism

Nanki Marwah, Freeman Senator- I was curious to why the green in front of the science center becomes a parking lot I remember that it was ok during the building of the garage because we want the green grass to grow. Is there anyway to find another place for parking?

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: I don't know about that question but I will find out if there is another area that can be used?

Melanie Carter, Ethos Senator: Do you know the number of minority students?

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: 120 came to Alana but I don't know how to compare it to last year

Fiona Cousland, Beebe Senator: For all the groups that you announced for Gen Judic, do they have charges to present?

Dean Kim Goff Crews: They have to be finished with everything

Crystal Walker, Cazenove Senator: What is the status on the parties?

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: We think we can do enough to plan tower, still working as quickly as possible

Kahini Ranade, Munger Senator: I'm glad the water is back, are we on town water?

Dean Kim Goff-Crews: yes
