Council thanks Seven Society for donation

Student Council Executive Vice President Rabeen Pasha introduced a resolution expressing Council's gratitude to the Seven Society for their donation of $10,777.77 to Council's Homecoming Committee last night.

Council suspended the rules in order to vote on the resolution immediately and passed it.

The resolution specifically recognized the collaborative efforts of the University Programs Council, Inter-Fraternity Council, Inter-Sorority Council, Alumni Hall, the Athletic Department and the Council Athletic Affairs Committee for their efforts over the past two years to create a stronger Homecoming tradition.

Homecoming Committee Co-Chair Brigitte Hoyer said the donation not only prevented the Homecoming planners from making programming cuts to the weekend's festivities due to a previous lack of funds but it also enabled them to pursue a "bigger name" band.

Hoyer added that the Homecoming planners hope to finalize the band this week with an announcement made by the time the University returns from Fall Break.
