Wading Team pools campus support
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 phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the Hopkins Wading Team’s recognition by the SGA and its plans for activities and funding.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA Senate unanimously approved the team’s official recognition, giving it access to more resources and the ability to apply for University funding.
- The article says that a competition has six waders and a referee, with teams sitting in a pool until they are “adequately pruney” before emptying, deflating and rolling it up.
- The paper reported that captain Travis Schmauss said the team wanted to provide an outlet for fun and help students take their minds off work.
- The article adds that the team hopes to involve more students, compete with Harvard’s “Sea Urchins,” and use heaters to make winter wading possible.
- According to the article, Sun and student-activities director Robert Turning supported possible funding, while the team said heaters could cost a couple of hundred dollars and was also considering alumni funding.
