Commuter Murder Mystery Event
15 April 2008
MEMORANDUM FOR A.S. SENIOR VP / SENATE
FROM: Andrew Webb – Commuter Senator and Cristina Malkhassian – Commuter Student
SUBJECT: Murder Mystery Event
1. Proposal: The commuter students approached me and asked if they would be able to put on an event for the commuter students to show appreciation for them as well as to have some fun. They decided they wanted to put on a murder mystery event for all commuter students. The event is expecting between 35-50 students and will be free to the students. We will be giving out light snacks/horsedevours.
2. Amount Requested: $400.
3. Problems with Status Quo: We need at least $125 for the murder mystery kit, which we can keep at the collegium for future events. The remaining money will be used for food and decorations. The commuter senators decided to not host any events this semester, as we were both busy with classes and preparing to graduate. These students took the initiative to plan and create an event that they wanted to happen; we should empower them to see this idea come to fruition.
4. Miscellaneous: Break down of costs is listed on the back.
Andrew Webb and Cristina Malkhassian Commuter Senator and Student
