Associated Students, Inc. is looking to host a new event after the student senate decided Wednesday to stop hosting Thirsty Thursdays at The Bucket.

The decision to cancel Thirsty Thursday, an event designed for students to meet their representatives, came unanimously from the Activities Committee and the Senate, Sen. Joshua Dowell of the Jordan College of Agricultural Science and Technology department, said.

The planned Thirsty Thursday on Feb. 11 is canceled. ­

Dowell said that the committee wanted to start a new program that would hopefully begin in a month. He said the committee is working with Deborah Adishian-Astone, the vice president for administrative services, to possibly get tickets donated to start a movie night at Maya Cinemas, inside nearby Campus Pointe, as the activity to take the place of Thirsty Thursday.

The senate also discussed a potential change in how many times students can retake a course.

Anthony Farnesi, ASI vice president of finance and CFO, said that the Academic Senate was thinking about updating its policy on retaking courses, possibly by lowering the number of times a student can fail a course from four to three times.

“This affects your major because if you take it that many times and fail, then you essentially can’t complete that major and you have to switch,” Farnesi said. “In your G.E., you would have to either find a different G.E. class or get the class at a city college or an equivalent class at a city college.”

Farnesi said that changing the policy may hurt students in majors with higher fail rates, but the Academic Senate has not made a decision on the policy change yet.

Discussion in the senate meeting shifted to the upcoming elections. ­­

ASI President Abigail Hudson said she encourages interested students to apply for ASI positions. Hudson also said that she hoped to have a high voter turnout.

“I’m hoping to have an on-campus voting location,” Hudson said. ­“A computerized polling location that would be hosted with the League of Women Voters — so it would be an unbiased individual running the polling station to increase voter turnout for students.”

Petitions for ASI office are due by Feb. 12 at 5 p.m. The next ASI meeting will be on Feb. 17 at 4 p.m. in USU 312-314.
