As second semester rocks in with full swing, the SGA PR boys are pleased to release our first Senate Recap via the clearly amazing new Oleville.com! Senate is a body of representatives from all walks of student life (around 40 peeps total) that meet each week in the BoardRoom, located by the King's Dining Room in Buntrock. To many people's surprise, Senate is not the same thing as SGA. Senate is a part of SGA where members from SGA's eight branches (SAC, PAC, BORSC, VN, The Pause, BORSC, SAA, and SOC) are represented, as well as senators from each residence hall, the honor houses, special constituency senators, and faculty committee senators. Its a venue where leaders across campus can meet together can come together to make dicisions and discuss important information.
That being said- Here's what happened this week!
Amy Sweeny and Tyler Wenchura from Res Life stopped by to talk a little about JC and RA recruiting for next year! If you are interested at all in that, click here! Both Fox and me are JCs in Hoyme, and trust me- its well worth it!
Up next, we heard about the new structure of the Faculty Committees that are being proposed at the next Faculty Meeting! With the saving grace of Ann Groton (See above picture), classics prof, leading the discussions, Senate laughed our way through the structural guidelines and proposals and poked fun at Dean Kneser for someone suggestion he be kept on a leash. There will be a new "Student Life" committee on campus next year with a proposed 5 student seats on it. In this arena, students and faculty will have better connections about what is going on in student life! This is looking to be a great move forward after 25 years of doing the same thing! We can all look forward to this. More information later!Matt Stortz '07, Senate Chair, reported on the upcoming agenda of Senate for second semester which includes discussion over St.Olaf's alcohal policy and Inclusivity issues for the campus as a whole. It looks like its going to be an exiciting semester.
The First-Year Four (as we call them), Will Tanner (Hoyme), Shoshanna Blank (Kildahl), Alice Kovacik (Hill Kitt), and Matt Gallagher (Ellingson) all color coordinated by wearing Red! Rockin the Valentine's Season! Yess!
Reports and Announcements were then given, as well as "Hill Hype"- a time for Senators to report random, sweet things happening around campus!
Finally, the President David Anderson (PDA as we call me) cardboard cutout joined us and watched us as we worked - publicizing this new site. You can't go wrong! (Even though he is wearing black shoes and a brown belt....shhhhhh) :)
Check out the SGA bulletin board by the POs this week for the minutes of the meeting to read all reports, announcements, and special orders!
Peace Out,
TyTy and Foxy
