Student Union Treasurer Dan Lee '12 reported to the Union Senate on the recent Finance Board fall marathon allocations. According to Lee, F-Board allocated 50.3 percent of requested funds on average. "I thought that was pretty good," he said.

According to Lee, the Senate is allocated a combined $22,500 for the fall and spring semesters.

"Another important thing with clubs, one of the biggest problems now is that … it's easy for clubs to be created. I feel like you guys just gave an OK for … Global Medical Brigades. I don't know, there was like a rumor where someone cried so you guys gave them an OK because of that. … I just heard that around campus," said Lee.

"It's insulting to suggest that the reason we allowed a club to go through is because a girl was crying. That's completely untrue," said Senator for the Class of 2012 Missy Skolnik.

Student Union President Herbie Rosen '12 also reported to the Senate. Rosen said he will be going this Friday with students from Students for Environmental Action and senators to visit the Sid Wainer & Son produce company and investigate sustainable, or "real" food at Brandeis.

Executive Senator Shekeyla Caldwell '14 initially proposed a Senate Money Resolution for refreshments at Senate meetings, totaling up to $100 for the semester. Caldwell retracted the SMR before it was presented.

Union Vice President Gloria Park '13 also announced the chairs of senate committees. Senator at Large Evyn Rabinowitz '12 will chair the diversity committee, Skolnik the services committee, Village Quad Senator Ben Beutel '12 the social justice committee, Rosby Kome-Mensah '14 the ways and means committee, Caldwell the club support committee and Boris Osipov '13 the outreach committee.

Eighteen senators were present at the meeting.
