Student fed approves coffee, music and money
Student Federation unanimously passed three motions Oct. 8, granting requests for funds to Coffeehouse and Battle of the Bands.
Paul Schmitt, a sophomore, outlined an appeal from the music honorary, Phi Mu Alpha, to purchase coffee for Coffeehouse, a gathering of local musicians and students that meets monthly at A.J.'s Café. John Hann, a junior, also presented a solicitation from Phi Mu Alpha, regarding funding for the upcoming Battle of the Bands. This annual event, co-hosted by Pi Beta Phi sorority, raises funds for philanthropic efforts in the community.
Following a brief discussion of the ways in which Coffeehouse and Battle of the Bands benefit campus life, members approved both funding requests. Student Federation allotted $270 and $900 respectively to each.
Additionally, the federation granted club status to a student-run investment group.
Nominations for next year's officers will occupy future federation business. Because only current members are eligible for these positions, nominations are internally managed.
Student Federation will conduct its next meeting Oct. 22.

Pranksters set off car horns in night?
Unknown pranksters triggered three car horns in the McIntyre Residence parking lot early Wednesday morning.
Security employee junior Joel Gehrke received a call from a student at Waterman Residence at 1:41 a.m.
The pranksters wedged sticks between each car's driver's seat and the horn on the steering wheel and locked the car's doors.
One of the cars was unlocked, allowing Gehrke to remove the stick. The other two horns didn't stop until each car's battery died, he said.
All horns were finally silent at 2:02 a.m.

Delt sig spooks to benefit unicef
Even pledges get involved in creating the spooks that make up Delta Sigma Phi fraternity's annual haunted house, which opens Oct. 28 for the fourth consecutive year.
The cost per person will be three dollars, with hot cider and doughnuts available at additional cost. All proceeds benefit UNICEF charity.
The house will be open between 7 and 8 p.m. on Oct. 28, and between 7 and 10 p.m. on Oct. 29.
Junior Ryon Wiska hinted at some of what lies in wait for visitors this year.
"My room is going to be a kind of Sesame Street of horror," he said.
Wiska said additional advertisements would be going up around campus as Halloween draws closer.
"You get the same scares here for three dollars that you'd get elsewhere for twenty," Wiska said. "And all the proceeds go to charity."

New job list online
Financial Aid Senior Counselor Jemie Hannon has launched a new on-call jobs list designed to aid on-campus employers in finding student workers. Initially, the list was intended for HTA students in need of additional work hours. However, as Hannon talked with students, she found many interested students who just wanted temporary work.
Hannon said that only students who have all of their employment paperwork on file with the personnel department will be added to the list.
Faculty and staff in need of temporary or replacement workers can go directly to the on-call list to find students who could do the job. When looking at the list, employers can view students' resume and college profile, allowing them to contact "on-call" students rather than conduct interviews.
