Allen, Boudreaux elected senior reps.
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 News-Letter article covers a special senior-representative election and business before the Student Council.
- The News-Letter reported that Lindsay Allen and Patience Boudreaux won with 119 and 58 votes; the special election followed an appeals board decision to overturn the first election.
- The paper reported that 148 seniors voted, about 15 percent of the class, and that Manish Gala linked higher turnout to lighter rules, saying, "The change in rules really made a difference ... there was an immediate gain,".
- The article adds that Elise Roecker reported the SAC had several thousand dollars and two meetings left; operating costs were $842.99, the annual budget was approved, and two May meetings would allow groups to resubmit funding requests.
- The reporter writes that the proposed Africana Studies major and minor had passed the Curriculum Committee and still needed Academic Council approval; MacDonald said sophomores could major in it and upperclassmen could count relevant courses retroactively.
- According to the article, nominees Rick Aseltine, Matt Bouloubasis, Mary Keough, Prashant Rao, Dan Herr, Eric Wolkoff and Shamim Ahmad were approved for next year’s Board of Elections; Aseltine asked candidates and the council to help increase turnout.
- The News-Letter reported that the council approved Ethics Board constitutional changes and Leigh Anne Lieberman as a member; it also reported senior-week sales, a $2 freshman formal and Kavasery’s statement that there was "tremendous response from the senior class,".
