Although a quorum of members were not present, the Union Drive Association (UDA) main cabinet held a meeting Monday and passed a bill concerning recognition of the Gay Liberation Alliance (GLA).
A quorum, according to Robert's Rules of Order, must be present when roll call is taken in order to conduct a meeting. Main cabinet defines a quorum to be two-thirds of the members. Because 17 of the 48 house members were absent, a quorum was lacking.
Gary Coop, Norman House representative, presented a bill requesting "recognition and sanction to the GLA," by main cabinet.
Currently, the GLA is not recognized by the Organization and Recognition Control Committee (ORCC). GLA is going before the committee next quarter to ask for recognition, Coop said.
"The basic idea of the bill was to test vote grass root support for GLA," he said.
The bill does not ask for financial backing of main cabinet, but supports that GLA is a "bona fide organization" according to Stephen Court, GLA member.
ISU Volunteer representatives, Lue Baker and John Anderson, gave a slide presentation on volunteer programs available to Iowa State students. ISU Volunteers serve as the "campus clearing house for campus activities" by suggesting group projects and individual activities to volunteers, Baker said.
Programs presently needing volunteers, the speakers said, are the Mitchellville Girl's Training School buddy program and musicians to help at the Marshalltown Old Soldiers Home.
In other business, UDA President Jim Bruzek said no decisions have been made as to the future of the Tea Room in South Friley.
