Students turn out to see plans for wellness center
The Student Government Association met in the Magnolia Ballroom Sept. 30 due to the high student body attendance about the new West Campus wellness center. The meeting consisted of passing two bills and a reading of a third bill before the debate of the wellness center began.
SGA allotted S.N.A.P., the Student Night Auxiliary Patrol, $840 for new polo shirts and jackets. The S.N.A.P. program is “to provide university escorts to the GCSU commuters in the evening hours.” The S.N.A.P. program only has 10 official officers.
To pass the bill, sophomore SGA Senator Andrew Whittaker asked to suspend the rules based on a 2004 SGA resolution mandating no more than $650 for any group consisting of less than 12 members.
SGA suspended the rules based on S.N.A.P.’s campus wide service. The bill was approved by a 23-0-2 vote.
Also, SGA unanimously approved $900 for the Race For Your Rhythm on Oct. 10 to promote healthy living. The event is open to GCSU and Milledgeville communities. Coca Cola, Kroger, and Amici Italian Cafe and other sponsors will be funding the race.
Finally, SGA discussed a bill to appropriate $14,000 for Sociology Club to find finance their 2009-2010 events. The club’s mission is “to create awareness about issues that affect society and culture in order to promote.”
Officials from architectural firm Menefee & Winer presented plans for the wellness center. GCSU community turn out to voice opinions. No action was taken on the bill at this time. SGA will host an open forum next monday at 5 p.m. at Magnolia Ballroom.
