StuCo passes Levering student union request
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 reports on Student Council’s Levering Union request and other council actions.
- The News-Letter reported that Student Council approved a resolution making Levering Union a student union on Jan. 1, 2002, with most of the building reserved for student use and the resolution sent to Dean Susan Boswell and possibly other administrators.
- The paper reported that the proposal was the first step toward changes including a permanent Great Hall lounge, a Sherwood Room game room, a restaurant, a Pizza Hut and student-run nonprofit businesses.
- The article says Goutman described the plan as “a service to bring students together” and reported his statement that students currently use Levering for only “four hours a day.”
- The reporter writes that Student Council approved people for BOE and COLA, including Aaron Sacks and Mary Keough for BOE; according to the article, Sacks mentioned computer crashes, and their first election was set for Oct. 22.
- The article adds that Student Council amended the SAC constitution and that members continued discussing broader constitutional changes, including proposals for a new hierarchy or four representatives from each class.
