Also, I believe that with it being an HSU club if we ever have a public
event there is some ridiculous insurance policy coverage of something in
the range of $1,000,000. I have not personally verified this however I've
known of clubs/groups able to rent out large buildings for events based on
this (some places require a huge insurance policy for the use of their
facilities). At first this seems like we wouldn't need this, but consider
a large LAN party with a minimal entrance fee to pay for costs of renting
the building people fragging and geeking out all night to their hearts
content... just an idea. Making it be and "official" HSU club does have
some benefits mostly in the arena of what facilities are available for
use.
Just and idea about the club, maybe merging it with the CSC (computing
science club) on campus since they always seem to be short on signatures
as well. It's probably in the best interests of both groups.
Just some ideas to ponder
