SGA elects four new senators

  SGA elected four new senators at this week’s meeting, further discussed the revision of the constitution and also allocated $200 toward a Relay for Life event.
   Relay for Life members were the first to speak in Monday’s meeting.
 In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Relay for Life organization will be holding several events in the upcoming weeks, including a Pink Ice Cream day, to which the organization asked SGA to donate.
After voting, SGA allocated $200 to the Pink Ice Cream day event.
 Events Relay for Life is planning for this month include a bake sale and a movie night, at which students can watch “My Sister’s Keeper,” on Wed. Oct 21 and “Save the Hooters” night on Oct. 23 at Hooters.
 The next order of business was the filling the four available senate seats.
Eight nominees spoke about why they deserved to be voted into the senate and were then asked a few questions by current senators.
 After the nominees left the room, the senate voted in four new senators; Antara Goggins, Michelle Stanislo, Janelle Scott, and Jonathon Malak.
   Each committee and sub-committee then reported on any updates.
 The Rules Committee reported that they accomplished a lot with the constitution at Sunday’s meeting, and will be presenting it for voting at the next meeting.
 Before the end of the meeting, the rules committee briefly went over the major changes they are proposing for the constitution,    including the proposal of having five standing committees.
 The Parking and Transportation committee is holding another appeals meeting Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Parking and Transportation Office.
Campus Outreach updated the senate on the cookout they have been planning. It will be held Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will possibly feature a pumpkin carving contest.
 The SGA will not meet Monday the 19 due to fall break but will resume meeting the following Monday.
