The newly-formed Sticker Club on the CMU campus spoke before the Associated Student Government (ASG) at the ASG’s weekly meeting and proposed a wall that could be used by students for placing their stickers.
“In my own personal experience, if you put stickers on a table, 10 out of 10 will come to the table, which means people like stickers,” Ivann Dickerson, president of the Sticker Club, said.
The Sticker Club was created by members of the Outdoor Program (OP) who wished to have a place to share their stickers they have collected, and meet at their office for their weekly meetings.
“It will be a designated spot for stickers, which I don’t know if it’s a problem on campus, but I’m imagining this club will go and spark some passion for sticking stickers places,” Dickerson said.
Dickerson went on to say that they would prefer that the wall be outside rather than inside.
The ASG senators spent most of their Wednesday night meeting asking the Sticker Club members about their idea and its practicality. ASG Senate Leader Brooke Houston suggested that they create the wall by the OP office.
“Where would this funding come from?” Sen. Elizabeth Bierbaum said.
“This is just an idea right now,” Dickerson said. “As far as the money, maybe going to metal scrapyards. It wouldn’t look as professional and nice, but it would be covered up by stickers.”
The senators continued the discussion by requesting the Sticker Club members to return with a clear plan with dimensions, drawings, fundraising and costs for the wall.
The meeting resumed with ASG President Josh Dillinger’s report to the senators where he announced three executive orders he had submitted over the week.
“The first one is sending Aden Cesmat to the CEO National Elevator Pitch Competition in Tampa, Fla.,” Dillinger said.
Cesmat, a sophomore, holds the first patent to come out of the Maverick Innovation Center and will go submit the idea at the competition. Dillinger funded Cesmat with $1,685 for his plane ticket.
“The next executive order is for homecoming,” Dillinger said. “Just because of some miscommunications up in student life.”
$2,499 was used to pay for the attractions ASG provided at Friday night’s homecoming carnival.
“And the last one, this is 100 percent my bad,” Dillinger said. “For Mav-Out Fridays, I ordered 400 t-shirts, some miscommunication with the individual on the other side of the phone. I thought he was saying it was $235 for all 400 shirts.”
Dillinger explained to the senators that the actual cost was $2.35 per shirt which totalled about $940.
“Anybody that has been in ASG before you know that I hate shirts, but I think that this in and of itself is something that we can do to help out and give back,” Sen. Jacob Reimer later said in the senate discussion.
ASG meets weekly on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in UC 213.
