“When access to library scanners is curtailed, the cartoon editor and section editors who need cartoons jump into supersonic panic mode to ensure the necessary images have a chance of making it into the morning’s issue. It is a nerve-wracking and soul-crushing experience – and one that could be easily eliminated if Buncha-K would bestow $150 upon us to purchase a scanner of our very own. (Remember: a stress-free Round Table staff creates a finer issue!)  According to quotes from Sherry Monahan in ISR, we could purchase a beautiful and effective Epson Perfection 4490 flatbed scanner for between $140 – 149. The only thing not included in this quote is the gratefulness and rejoicing that would result from this financing. Furthermore, if the Round Table staff collectively produces a child, we may name it Buncha-K.”

nonsexual health care is essential on any college campus.”

“Unfortunately, resources on campus and within the Beloit community require either valid health insurance and/or out of pocket payment.”

“Women’s First Choice health clinic in Janesville offers many health services to men and women on a sliding pay scale, giving those students with out of state or no health insurance the opportunity to receive quality affordable care.”

“We would like to offer free shuttles twice a month during clinic hours These shuttles would depart at 8:30am and 11:30am on one Tuesday and one Wednesday every month from January to May. We would rely on student drivers paying them the standard rate of $7.75 an hour, but we would also offer it as a volunteer position to students in sororities and fraternities in need of philanthropy hours.”

The Beloit Boating Club is making this proposal for sailboat parts, because we want to be able to use the Butterfly sailboats that the college already owns. Our club members have been down to the boathouse where they are kept and investigated what parts are missing. These are the things that our proposal consists of. The halyard and the sheet are ropes that are necessary in order to run these boats. A buoy is a necessity for learning the art of competitive sailing. In short, getting these parts are a must if Beloit College students want to enjoy the sport of sailing!

“Girls and Women in Science (GWIS) is a hands-on science workshop for sixth grade girls, their teachers, and parents.”

“The purpose of this event is twofold. First, it encourages girls to stay interested in science in an effort to alleviate the gender gap. Second, it gives Beloit College students an important outlet for community service and leadership while accomplishing many of the goals of a liberal arts education. During the conference, students run labs, play with the girls, and organize everything behind the scenes.”

“This event will benefit the student body in two ways: 1) encourages students to participate in community service and leadership roles 2) provides the science students and the education students with the opportunity to volunteer in their area of expertise, something they do not often get to utilize in community service projects.”

“This funding will cover the T-shirts provided to students to identify their involvement in this conference. Funding will also cover the dining costs of students eating meals with the girls during the course of the conference. All students can participate in this program and thus gain the benefits of T-shirts and meals.”

We propose to store and maintain this gear in the OEC Equipment Room.

Whenever any student, group of students, or campus organization wishes to borrow equipment, it is the responsibility of the Equipment Manager to sign out equipment to the individuals who are borrowing it, and to check it back in upon its return. Individuals who damage equipment aside from normal wear and tear can be charged for the damage.

“The Alliance library is severely outdated and of the books it contains, very few deal with some ofthe less mainstream members of our community. In particular, we hope to expand our sections onbisexuality and transgender issues, which are severely lacking. Our library serves as a resource oncampus for those who want to learn about queer issues above and beyond what the school library has.”
