Board recognizes dozens THE BATTALION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1978 Page 5 of new organizations e tom ys it opem willi s Itti 'tnrw i tests Battalion photo by Malcolm Moore Space grapes By JUDY DUNN The Student Organizations Board, wHith governs student ac tivities, has recognized approxi mately 35 new student organizations since last fall, said Carolyn Adair, director of student activities. “There are a total of 354 organiza tions,” she said. Anyone who wants to apply for recognition of an organization must fill out forms obtained in the Stu dent Finance Center in the Memo rial Student Center, Adair said. Those who apply must fill out appli cations and a constitution, stating in formation about objectives, officers, and requirements for membership. When the forms are filled out, tne information generally goes to the board’s subcommittee, she said. That group is composed of a student from the Organizations Board, a council advfcer and Carolyn Adair. “When considering an organiza tion for recognition, we consider whether there is already an organi zation with similar objectives, and if it is appropriate for Texas A&M, .Adair said. If the organization does not pass this stage, then the Student Organi zations Board considers its applica tion, Adair said. The board has 16 members. Eleven are staff mem bers, familiar with the different types of organizations. Five are stu dents appointed by the student body president. When and if the board approves its application, the organization be comes officially recognized, she said. Not all applicants are accepted. The Texas A&M Sport Parachute Club was not accepted the first time they applied, because the activity was considered too dangerous. However, later it reapplied and be came a fully recognized organiza tion. There are advantages to being a recognized organization at Texas A&M, said Adair. “An organization can use bulletin boards and all campus facilities, within reason, she said. Organizations not officially recog nized by the University, are not al lowed to use these facilities, Adair said. When an organization becomes recognized, it also becomes a candi date for money from the bookstore allocation fund, she said. The fund was established to provide financial support for certain expenses of offi cially recognized student organiza tions. The fund is financed through profits made by the MSC bookstore. “Organizations requesting such funds must pick up request forms in the Finance Center, said Adair. There are general regulations that recognized organizations must fol low. The regulations must be gen eral because there are so many types of organizations, she said. “One rule meant to be restrictive on just one organization might end up being restrictive to several, Adair said. Every September, an officially recognized organization must fill out a card requesting that it stay recog nized by the university, she said. “If an organization doesn’t fill out the card for two years, then it is not considered active, and it is taken off the books,’ Adair said. If an organization is taken off the books, it must reapply for official recognition.
