SGA began to plan how they can use money from the Zombie Outrun around campus, decided on new Christmas decorations and sponsored awards for the Black and Gold Pageant

Cody Parker, a senior agricultural business major, spoke on behalf of the Mortar Board National College Senior Honor Society for sponsorship. The organization hopes to use the money to begin work in the community.

A voting about granting the Mortar Board a $500 scholarship will take place next week.

According to Parker, Mortar Board is the academic front of the university.

“It is an amazing opportunity. We hold high standards and do many projects,” said Parker. “We’re hoping to reform the organization this year to include faculty, and a faculty selection process.”

SGA stresses involvement in the 5K Zombie Outrun. According Laura Knotts, SGA Advisor, the money made from the event will not be going to an outside organization, but instead will be redistributed back into the campus.

“We’re looking to do a few things with the money. One of which is a phone charging station in the SUB,” said Knotts. “Another idea we’ve thought of is a gazebo or some form of outdoor seating near the SUB.”

SGA President Jana Robinson suggested memorial trees planted for professors such as Louis Nabors and HP Jones in front of the SUB.

A motion to purchase new Christmas decorations passed unanimously, and another passed to grant Alpha Phi Alpha $500 for their Black and Gold Pageant that will allow awards to the winners.
