The Union Senate chartered two clubs and passed a Senate Money Resolution at its meeting Sunday night.

The first club to be chartered was Brandeisians Against Animal Cruelty, a club created by Alex Bernstein '14 and Neal Rabinowitz '13.  According to the club's constitution, its purpose is to "spread awareness among the Brandeis community and the Waltham area about preventing animal abuse, as well as to raise money for animal rescue efforts." The Senate voted to charter the club by a vote of 11-5.

The second club chartered was a Brandeis chapter of Project Plus One, a non-profit co-founded last year by Paul Sukijthamapan '13.  According to the club's constitution, "Through empowering under-served communities in East Timor, PP1 projects will help the poor to become self-sufficient in providing healthcare for their own people."  The Brandeis chapter will support the efforts of the non-profit.  The Senate voted to charter the club by a vote of 16-1.

The Senate also passed an SMR, which was proposed by Senator Ricky Rosen '14 and calls for $248.43 to buy six new squash rackets for the Gosman Sports and Convocation Center and replace several broken rackets.
