As SGA held their activity week last week, they also discussed the impact of the recent college consolidation on their senate elections.

Upcoming budget cuts could possibly affect senate numbers and senator ratios.

“The reorganization would impact senate elections by making students compete in fewer but larger groups,” said SGA president Jana Robinson.

Students would also be competing against different majors than in previous elections.

SGA group size is based on enrollment, so senator numbers would not be affected unless there is an enrollment drop next year.

Senators promoted physical and mental health among the student body during their activity week.

“The yoga class got the biggest reaction out of the student body and Kemper [Block] had just gotten certified,” said Macey Scott, a freshmen kinesiology major.

Senators passed out free water bottles accompanied by facts concerning physical and mental wellbeing.

Scott enjoyed the different events, but favored visiting an elementary school and playing with students.

“Mortar Board went with us and we played with a parachute and led exercises,” Scott said.

“It’s always great to get out there and remind people to be aware of their health, especially with rising obesity rates in America,” said Victoria Eymard, a sophomore kinesiology major.

Eymard wished to raise awareness due to Louisiana’s stance as one of the most obese states.

“For college kids it’s so easy to just go to Taco Bell rather than going out to buy vegetables,” Eymard said.

Eymard hopes to keep students aware and informed, reminding them to eat healthy and take care of their bodies.

“I don’t think that the student body was very aware of what we were doing, but once they realized what was going on they were eager to join in,” Eymard said.
