13th "Collegiate News Podcast." Here's what's in
the news this week. Student leaders
voted in approval for three budget requests
and one change at last week's
Student Alliance meeting. Students voted to change
the name of the Club Hub to the "Molly Maczka
Leadership Hub." The hub will now
be named after the former Student Life
Office Manager Molly Maczka, who died
October 26th. The Club Hub was
opened this semester in the Student Life office as
a place for student leaders and club members to
network and collaborate.
The Anime Club's request
for more than $3,600 to attend Anime Central
in March was approved. The 25 students will drive
to Rosemont, Illinois, for the convention and
will stay in a hotel. The approved monies
will cover hotel costs and admission to
the convention. All students going on the trip
will pay for their own food, gas, tolls, parking,
and a $10 fee to help reduce the
total cost of the trip.
The Hispanic Student
Organization's request for over $5,000 to
attend the United States Hispanic Leadership
Institute was approved. The 16 students will take an
Amtrak to Chicago in February. Each student has contributed
$150 as a deposit to help with
trip costs. With the approval
of the request, that money will be given
back to the students for, quote, "academic purposes,
such as buying books "and applying for
tuition," end-quote, said HSO President
Hector Marin.
The Asian Student Union's
request for over $3,700 to attend the annual
East Coast Asian American Student Union leadership
conference was approved. Seven of the most active members
will attend the conference. The request will cover
the traveling expenses and the hotel
expenses. The members will pay to drive
themselves to the airport in Chicago and pay to
park their cars there.
They will also pay out-of-pocket
for the registration to the conference, and all food
expenses for the three-day trip. In sports news, the GRCC
women's basketball team finished with their
biggest win of the season against Cornerstone
University's JV team. The winning score
was 65 to 46. The women's team is
now 5-3 on the season.
The men's team also
played this past Saturday, but suffered a tough loss
to Macomb Community College. The score
was 69 to 77, and resulted in their current
record of 3-4 on the season. Both the men's and
the women's teams will play Hope College's
JV teams tomorrow at 5:30 PM
for the women and 7:30 PM
for the men. Both games will be home
at the Ford Fieldhouse.
GRCC volleyball player,
sophomore outside hitter, Lauren Wieber, was named
Honorable Mention All-American for NJCAA
