The Undergraduate Students Association Council began Tuesday’s meeting a little differently ““ with a film screening.
Alumni representative Willard Tressel showed a seven-minute video, "Welcome: Portraits of America," which featured varied yet beautiful American landscapes, famous landmarks and the people living our country. Tressel helped in the filmmaking process. The Disney-sponsored video currently plays at national airports.
Even Cultural Affairs Commissioner Bernice Shaw was briefly shown in the video, which can be viewed online at travel.state.gov.
Later, the council passed USA Finance Committee Guidelines for the 2007-2008 year and an amendment regarding timeliness of funding applications.
The council agreed upon a 25 percent reduction for application tardiness instead of the originally proposed 50 percent.
