The Tuesday, April 16 meeting of the Student Government Association (SGA) began with a session of open forum in which the Senate brought forward concerns about issues around campus.
One concern a senator brought forward was the fact that the sand in the volleyball courts seems coarser than it was before the Oozeball tournaments during Spring Weekend.
Another senator expressed concerns about students and faculty smoking in the parking lots or in their cars, which is technically still school property.
President Donald Knight mentioned that Tuesday’s meeting was his last as president and congratulated the SGA’s newly elected 2013-2014 Executive Board. He said it was an “absolute honor and privilege to serve” as president for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Treasurer Queen Burrell brought forward several possible allocations from the Student Finance Committee (SFC). SFC allocated $4,025.85 to Phi Beta Lambda and re-allocated $52.57 to the Modern Language Club.
SFC also allocated $1,160 to WMLU 91.3 FM for a benefit concert to raise money for the victims and families of the Boston Marathon bombings. It will take place next Tuesday, April 23 from 4-9 p.m. on the Lankford Student Union Patio.
The inauguration for the SGA’s 2013-2014 Senate is tentatively set to occur next Wednesday, April 24 at 7 p.m.
The next SGA meeting will take place on April 23 in the BC rooms of Lankford Student Union.
