SGA discusses fall semester issues
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 SGA’s discussions about freshman elections, its judiciary committee, student surveys, funding and transportation.
- The News-Letter reported that eight students were running for freshman class president and 13 for six Senate seats.
- The paper reported that the SGA approved a new judiciary committee with two returning members and three new members to hear appeals, including election appeals.
- The article says President Mark Dirzulaitis described a student survey as a way for students to voice concerns, while members suggested prizes and a website link to increase responses.
- The reporter writes that Treasurer Wyatt Larkin said uncertainty about available funds could affect club budgets, Beer Garden, HOPtoberfest and free Halloween bus rides after money was diverted to a Lupe Fiasco concert.
- The article adds that one proposed plan for “The Social Network” screening was to give out tickets first-come, first-served and sell bus seats for five dollars; it says the ticket and transportation plans were expected to be finalized within two days.
