Senate
The SGA Senate meetings take place at 5:15 p.m. each week on Monday in Room 219 of the Thompson Student Center. All students and faculty are welcome to attend the meetings.
It was announced that the campus laundry services will be revamped and improved for next semester in response to numerous student requests and complaints.
SGA is trying to find a sponsor who will donate Scantron sheets to be handed out to students during finals.
SGA will be holding a blood drive in the spring 2010 semester on April 1.
Plans for an alumni brick walk would allow graduating seniors the opportunity to purchase a brick with their name, graduation year and their organization inscribed on it and would be part of a walkway on campus.
House
The Student Government Association House of Representatives discussed amendments to the Election Code set up by the organization and approved three funding requests for student organizations.
Five amendments were approved to strengthen the Election Code. The council also approved a constitutional amendment, two bills and a resolution, all of which relating to the election process. Both of the passed bills discuss information regarding elections for Student Body President and Vice President. Resolution 90-1 suggested that only Tarleton computers be used during an election process, in order to assure fairness of the vote.
The council allocated the remainder of their fall budget, totalling $931.27. Three organizations requested funds, Health and Physical Education/Phi Epsilon Kappa, Student Social Work Association and Delta Mu Delta, and the council voted to fund each organization a portion of their request, in order to fairly allocate money within the budget. Both HPE/PEK and Delta Mu Delta was awarded $375, of their original $650 request, and SSWA were granted the remaining $181.27. The funding totals were approximately 57 percent of what each organization requested.
