STUDENT ASSOCIATION
During the appropriations section of the meeting, the Shooting Club raised a few eyebrows by asking for at least $1,000 for a safe to protect their guns, which are currently stored in the basement of Autry Court.

The equipment desk has had security lapses, causing concern that anyone could access these guns. After a vote to give them only $50 was taken, they were ultimately turned down.

The SA disputed that the club should try other avenues and sources for money, and if all those were exhausted, to try them again.

The Rice University Latin American Liaison Association was also denied money. They are taking 15 or so students and two advisers to Monterrey, Mexico.

The Student Association Senate met Monday. The following were discussed:

n If you have a idea for the Homecoming T-shirt (Rice vs. UNLV), send an e-mail to Ann at blaine@rice.edu . You get $50 if your T-shirt design wins.

n The Rice University Court is filing two undergraduate vacancies. Sophomores and above in good standing are eligible. Interviews will be Nov. 1. Interested students should send an e-mail to ucourt@ruf.rice.edu or contact the chairperson, Bobby Azamian at azamian@rice.edu.

n Student Organizations is currently accepting nominations for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Forms are available on-line at http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~stact/whos.who.html and are due Friday, Oct. 23

n The SA approved the Class of 2002 Council. Right now, meetings are scheduled to be immediately after the SA meetings. Contact
