Pogel ~ Secretary of the Board of Trustees and Executive Assistant to the President Subject: MSU Ordinances Attached to this cover sheet are revisions of two ordinances recently approved by the MSU Board of Trustees. These should replace pages 66 and 29 currently in your October 1995 reprinted copy of the MSU Ordinances. Ordinance 38.00 - Roller Skates (page 66) has been revised to include skateboards. Note that skateboarding is not absolutely prohibited, but is carefully restricted in order to prevent damage to the campus environment. Ordinance 27.00 - Selling (page 29) has been revised so that 27 .01 - Unauthorized Sales and Solicitations Prohibited, replaces the former 27 .01, 27 .03 and 27 .04. With the changes, sales and solicitations are prohibited on University premises without an authorized permit provided by the Secretary of the Board or her designee. Other sections of 27 .00 dealing with advertising are still under review. Attached you will also find a set of central Selling and Solicitation Guidelines to govern the issuing of permits by the Secretary or her designee under Ordinance 27.00. All current on-site guidelines should be reviewed and revised as necessary to be congruent with these central guidelines. Those in charge of monitoring selling in various areas should forward a copy of current (revised) guidelines as soon as review is complete to the office of the Secretary of the Board . We will be in contact with Vice Presidential areas to update the list of those persons with delegated authority to grant permits on behalf of the Secretary of the Board. Questions can be directed to Carol Pride in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Trustees (3-464 7).
