Seriously people, This is unbelievable that I am writing this blog right now. I have never written a blog and I think I like it. It makes me hot. Hottttt. Like B. Spears right now. Seriously, bald? She needs to class it up and figure out how to get onto a tight show like the Hills. Love that show.
Onwards and upwards my friends to the SGA Senate Recap of St.Olaf College on March 1st, 2007.
First of all it is snowing a lot outside. So deal wit it.
1. Laser tag was talked about and basically said that Lindsey Myers needs to become a viable student org before she moves forward with things. She is waiting to gather that status and then hopefully grab some of the dollars in capital improvements. The $25,000 in capital improvements comes into play on March 31st, so she has then to figure it out. Many said she needs a way to figure out how this organization can be continued and not just funded and then left alone.
2. Registration was a large topic last week at the meeting with Mary Cisar, the Registrar, there at the meeting presenting to us. She is totally cool but some of her ideas didn't really work and 'flow' you could say with the students. So, we revolted and formed our own country called Registration Review Delta Task Force code name: Operation Registration. Kidding, we didn't form a country but we formed a committee, chaired by Andrew Foxwell (me) word! that will explore the options we have for figuring this situation out. Basically, the biggest issue is this:
- Each student enters in their first and second choice. Then, the first choice is assigned for all students and then the second choice is assigned. This would eliminate upperclassmen having any more "ups" than anyone else. All classes would be, essentially, at the same level.
This is a problem for most so we are going to figure things out and work with it. You know that's how we do. Yo.
3. Hoyme Hall was completely destroyed last Friday night after 4am. There were various acts of vandalism that happened and they are being taken very seriously. The damage was very considerable and many people expressed questions on this topic. They destroyed the basement lounge by tp'ing and egging it, the computer lab and other hallways/areas with fire extinguishers, and punched out screens in windows and ceiling tiles. After a long deliberation between administration of the college, Dean Kneser stated that they would remain students and they want to publicly apologize for what they did. Chairman Matt Stortz indicated that we stand behind the Dean of Student's office on their decision.
4. Peter Hill gave a rocking presentation on BORSC. I would encourage you to check out www.stolaf.edu/orgs/sga/borsc or email tellborsc@stolaf with any questions you may have. They are doing a great job and they could possibly be the hottest group on campus. I think they need gold chains. Word.
All other things are going well. There is a campus bike program investigation being started where you would be able to ride bikes all over the place. Also, apparently the library has farting problems because the fire alarm keeps going off. It's probably floor 3 1/2.
As always, let us know if we can do anything or bring up any issues at Senate you deem appropriate.
