Entertainment Commission rocks JHU
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the Student Council’s new Entertainment Commission, its activities and its funding.
- The News-Letter reported that new bylaws created the commission to organise campus social activities and pool resources among the four classes.
- The paper reported that the commission was created in late February and is led by Manu Sharma and the four class presidents: Jae Jin, Christal Ng, Brian Drolet and Simone Chen.
- The article says the commission has no separate budget, but within four days it sold T-shirts, organised a club night and held a Battle of the Bands.
- The reporter writes that Jin valued working with more experienced class presidents, Sharma said campus social life would improve, and Robert Freundlich questioned whether events could serve all class years equally.
- The article adds that Ng, Sharma and Drolet identified funding as the main obstacle; Sharma said the commission depends on class contributions, while the group chose to work with its limits rather than complain.
