SGA officers recently discussed changes around campus with President Nick Bruno, and hope to see the changes to the constitution and by-laws pass come elections Wednesday.
Students will vote for constitution changes as well as their student representatives.
Senators voted and unanimously passed the changes to by-laws and approved the constitution changes for student votes.
“It would be sad and terrible if they didn’t pass,” said Erin Foster, department head of research and judicial affairs.
“I think students should support the constitution because it keeps the organization systematically organized,” said Monohn Prudhomme, an SGA senator.
She said, “If the organization is not organized we wouldn’t be able to efficiently voice student needs or make great things happen.”
SGA budget remains at $83,124.67. Mardi Gras Ball expenses have been taken out, but the invoice for the jumbotron payment of $25,000 has yet to be processed.
“We still have one full scholarship, and we have $400 of another scholarship left,” said Treasurer Adrien Lejeune.
President Jana Robinson and Vice President Jameshia Below attended a luncheon with President Nick Bruno, addressing topics of concern by senators and students.
“One thing I brought up was the entrance and exists of the apartment parking, it’s just a potential for accidents,” Below said.
Robinson addressed the need for new doors in Masur Hall, as well as reinstated guest meal plans at Schultz.
Peep holes have been ordered and will be installed in buildings that need them.
“They have a problem in Masur with people slamming doors and it being really loud, so they’re looking into replacing them. The lots around commons will be surfaced as well as the large commuter lot by fall,” Robinson said.
Officers brought up other suggestions, such as dry-erase boards being placed in library study rooms.
According to Robinson, Bruno will be looking into the apartment parking issue.
