The Senate chartered four clubs and recognized one at its meeting on Sunday. Fourteen senators were present.

The improvisational comedy group False Advertising was unanimously chartered. The club, which was already recognized, sought funding for transportation to and from off-campus performances. The club will continue to have a permanent roster of performers, while also holding open improvisation workshops.

The Brandeis chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America was also unanimously recognized. The club is affiliated with the national organization of the same name and shares its mission of encouraging awareness and prevention of child abuse.

The Rocky Horror Official Performance Ensemble, a group which aims to "bring shadowcast performances ... to the Brandeis community," according to its constitution, was recognized and chartered by a vote of 12 to none with two abstentions. The club hopes to hold at least one free performance each semester.

The Senate chartered and recognized the Brandeis Coin Club by a vote of 11 to none with three abstentions. The club will focus on coin collecting and hopes to bring experts on the subject to speak on campus.

A Brandeis chapter of the College Masonic Society International was chartered and recognized by a vote of eight to one with five abstentions. The constitution of the Society, whose members are not Freemasons but are interested in ancient and secret societies, was approved with an amendment to disallow permanent membership for former club presidents.

The Senate passed one Senate Money Resolution of $50 to buy mats for the Village gym.

The meeting then entered executive session. Village Quad Senator Ben Beutel '12 called for a vote to keep the proceedings public, but the proposal failed, as Beutel was the only senator to vote in favor of it.
