Use of Space Guidelines

The Lion’s Pause welcomes your event. The Pause Executive Team will gladly consider any proposal for the use of The Pause. Before submitting a proposal to use Pause space the Executive Team encourages event organizers to read the following guidelines, which The Pause Exec Team uses in considering space applications.

The Lions Pause Mission

To enhance St. Olaf student life by providing a relaxed atmosphere for socializing; a variety of tasty, affordable food, and to provide and best utilize first-class entertainment facilities.

Reserving The Lion’s Pause

The Den and Pool Room areas are open to general student use during regular Buntrock Commons hours. If you have any questions please contact the Lion's Pause Stage Manager.

Programming Guidelines for The Pause

Although The Pause Exec Team will consider all applications for the use of space, the Lion’s Pause management wishes to attract a variety of programmed events to the space. Applications to bring new, creative programs to The Pause will tend to receive greater consideration than others. In addition, the following guidelines are emphasized:

Events held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Nights:
• Should be open to all St. Olaf and Carleton students
• No group will be charged for the use of Pause space on these nights.

A maximum of one D.J. dance per month.

Priorities for Space Usage

Applications for the use of The Pause will be given priority depending on the organizing group’s relationship to the college.

I. Student Organizations
The Lion’s Pause receives the majority of its funding from the Student Government Association and therefore the first priority of The Pause is to accommodate the needs of student led organizations.

Applications for the use of The Pause will generally be considered in the following order:

1. The Pause
2. Student Activities Committee
3. SGA recognized organizations

II. St. Olaf College Offices/Departments/Programs
After accommodating the demands of student led organizations The Lion’s Pause will give full consideration to space applications from college offices, departments, and other programs.

III. Friends of the College and Members of the Public
The Lion’s Pause welcomes applications for space from off the Hill. These groups will usually be charged for the use of The Pause space. (See the description of fees below.)

The Pause reserves the right to deny or change the use of space agreement at any time.

Band practices may take place between 3 PM and 1A.M, Monday through Wednesday. On these days, band practices will take precedence over most events.
