Oct. 25, 2006

Budget: No change from last week.

Senator Wilbanks proposed Bill #3, revised from last week, to allocate $455 toward “Dance to the Beat so Kids Can Eat,” a social and canned food drive put out by Sigma Alpha Omega. Bill #3 passed without dissent.

Bill #4 was proposed by Senator Lanier to allocate $150 toward a first annual Halloween party on front campus. Bill #4 passed without dissent.

Barron Webster was sworn in as a new SGA senator.

Resolution #3 was presented by Senator Burch to propose adding an official public relations committee to the SGA Constitution. Although there is currently an unofficial public relations group, this resolution would make it consistent, according to President Pro Tempore Martin. The first round of voting passed unanimously; it will be voted on again next week.

Bill #5 was presented by President Pro Tempore Martin to propose allocating $500 toward a Battle of the Bands on Nov. 2 on front campus.

The event has been advertised on Z.97 radio station. Bill #5 was tabled and will be researched and discussed again next week.

On Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. in the Hoke Dining Room, Dr. Harshbarger will be leading an informational meeting regarding students interested in pursuing a career in student affairs. The purpose of the meeting is to assess whether there is enough interest in the subject to develop a masters program.
