The Ct of Commonwealth Student Governments is sponsoring
a Penn State wide petition drive against state cuts in funding for
higher education. SGA is asking students, faculty, alumni, and
friends of the Pennsylvania State University to sign the petition and
show their support. The petition will be available in classrooms,
dorms, dining areas, and the SGA office. The budget cuts in higher
education compromise the availability of a quality education
essential to Pennsylvania's future.

SGA Report
The Student Government Association holds its weekly meeting
every Wednesday at 5:J5 in Reed conference roomll4.
SGA Senator John Butler unveiled a petition against cots in state
funded student aid at last night's meeting. SGA members will be
circulating the petition across campus over the next two weeks, with
a goal of getting signatures from at least half of the student body.
Butler underscored the fact that the petition is entirely different from a
widely circulated e-mail petition against federal student aid reductions.
In support of the petition, SGA President Timothy Mallon
encouraged senate members to bring in as many signatures as
possible.
"This is a good chance for Behrend to show we're involved," he
Commuter Senator Mike Woycheck’s new public relations
committee will meet sometime next week to go over policies and
procedures. The committee was formed as part of SGA’s newefforts
to “bring the organization to the students, not vice-versa” as
President Mallon has said.
A motion from last week's meeting to amend the SGA
constitution so that commuter and resident senators are required to
attend their respective council meetings (Joint Residence Council and
Commuter Council) was debated. As a constitutional amendment,
however, the motion carries a mandatory two week waiting period.
SGA will vote on die amendment next week.
Commuter Council President Steve Landon brought up the issue of
a lade of SGA allocated funds to provide security for events held by
student organizations. According to Landon, last year's budget
committee failed to allocate funds for security due to an understanding
that it would be provided without charge. But as SGA is just now
discovering, there was apparently a miscommunication between
Police and Safety Services and the committee. One organization was
told security for their event would cost $6O. SGA will consider
whether or not to pick up the tab for security at student events in
future meetings.
Anyone who wishes to help with the drive or has questions can
contact any SGA representative, the SGA office, or John Butler at
JSBls4@psu.edu.
The Returning Adult Student Organization (RASO) will meet this
month on the 14th and 28th at noon in the Gorge. Please attend.
