Associated Student Government Senate members passed a resolution to support a Razorback Ball Tuesday night.
Organizers of the ball are not asking ASG senators to pay for the ball.
The ball organizers hope to make this event a new tradition on campus, in which all students will attend.
If possible, the event will take place in Barnhill Arena to save on costs.
In other news, Associated Student Government members delayed legislation that some senators think will alleviate the fear of calling for medical help for a student who has been drinking.
“It’s a great idea and will be a safe gaurd to future student deaths,” said ASG President Michael Dodd.
This policy will state that students can call for medical help for themselves or another student that may be in danger because of alcohol without getting in trouble by the university on the first offense, according to the bill.
Though students would not get in trouble through the UA judicial system, the students could still face criminal charges.
The students would also have to complete a brief psycho-educational intervention at the Pat Walker Health Center.
A similar bill was written last year by ASG President Michael Dodd, but never got off the ground, Dodd said.
Some changes were made to the bill this year in comparison to last year.
This year, Dodd will be responsible for appointing a committee that will oversee how the policy could be implemented and will write a letter to each of the board members explaining why the policy should be implemented.
