Council also amends COLA bylaws, looks to improve housing
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 Student Council’s freshman elections, COLA bylaws, student-faculty luncheons and housing efforts.
- The article reports that there were seven candidates for president, four for vice president, two for secretary/treasurer and seven for class representative; Fahad Kahn said a student-administrator panel would question candidates.
- The paper reported that candidates would also record one-minute speeches for videos shown before the elections.
- The article says the fifth COLA member would be appointed by Student Council’s executive officers rather than the full council; Manish Gala said the full council would still make the final vote.
- The reporter writes that Dean Weiss approved funding for student-faculty luncheons, while Sarah Cummings said organizers were determining which professors would participate.
- The article adds that class of 2002 representatives were seeking ways to improve upperclass housing, and that HFest preparations were complete for an October 19 event with dinner, a DJ, cheerleaders and the mascot.
