StuCo outlines social agenda - Council's new plans include increasing community involvement on campus
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

- The paper reported that Ron Benjamin was working to place first-aid kits in residence halls and security shuttles, while also planning healthier Bag-It meals during finals; Benjamin said this food would be more comforting than vending-machine meals.
- The article adds that Cedric Chan said event planning needed more cooperation from HOP, whose representatives were absent, and that he wanted Council funds used more effectively.
- The reporter writes that Student Council and the Resident Advisory Board were drafting a Residents’ Bill of Rights to explain rules on alcohol, noise and privacy; Sonny Chandrasekhar said it would clarify students’ rights and responsibilities.
