OFF
THE THE FIRST FIFTY DAYS
RECORD
This past fall many of the
present S.G.A. members made
campaign promises, but one I
which many candidates had I
in common was to strive to
close the communication gap
between the student body and
the S.G.A.
Through the past term, the
student body has been kept
aware or the more contro—
versial actions and the in—
stances of lack of action
by the S.G.A. At tines SGA.
members have been annoyed
and discouraged by what is
written and discussed con—
cerning S.G.A. workings. '„Te
feel that often the student
body has not seen a complete
picture of what the S.G.A.
has done. In this report I
will attempt to present most
of the noteworthy accomplish
meats of the 3.G.A. during
the past tern.
Du the first two weeks
of the term S.G.A. busiss
was conducted by the carry—
over members from last year.
These representatives super—
vised the election of new
members, selected the member
of the Student Judiciary...,
and supervised Custom's ;leek
On October tenth the newly
elected representatives took
office. The first order of
business was the approval of
the S.G.A. budget including
allocations to the various
campus organizations. Office
hours were then set up for
all members so there would
always be someone 'xi the
S.G.A. office to accept
incoming calls. Several
S.G.A. members felt that a
separate bulletin board
was needed for S.G.A.
announcements concerning the
student body. A committee
was set up to look into the
dost, use, and placement of
such a board. The committee
reached a decision but be—
cause of the S.G.A. finan—
cial dilemma the purchase
was tabled indefinitely.
The S.G.A. next reviewed the
new constitutions of the Ski
Club and Psi Sigma Upsilon
Sorority; after some re—
visions both were accepted.
Recognition should be given
to Kriss Chiapazzi and
Terry Davis and other S.G.A.
members who, at this time
helped organize transporta—
tion to Perry Square for
students who wished to at—
tend the Hubert Humphrey
rally. Also at this time
S.G.A. undertook to organize
the AII—U DAY excursion.
Claudia White took charge of
the tedious chore of taking
ticket orders and bus reser—
vations and handled the job
very well.
The S.G.A. then selected the
following members to these
Offices:
Gary Lackovic Chairman
Kriss Chiapazzi —Correspond—
ing Secretary
Kathy Aloe Recording Sec—
retary
the nit tan cub
by Gregg ?fright
SGA Representative
Jim Frye - Club Co-ordinator
Terry Davis- S.G.A. Student
Affairs
The nest order of business
was the approval of the
Student Judiciary constitu
tion which had made some
changes suggested by the
University Senate.
The Behrend Campus Social
Calendar which appears in
the Student handbool: was
approved, thus organizations
could not schedule or change
activities without notifying
the 3.G.A.
Also at this time an 0.3.G.A.
Fall Regional Conference was
planned by Arnie Caldwell
and other S.G.A. members, but
the conference was
eventually cancelled because
other campuses could. not
attend
The S.G.A. then proceeded to
consideb complaints about
the Bus schedule, a chani:e
machine,and water cooler in
the an, and a polic7 to
cash student checks has been
established.
The S.G.A. next decided to
apportion the student body
to the 3.G.A. representative.
A List of students was ob
tained from the office and
each representative :•ras
given a list of students
who they are designated to
represent. It was aug—
gested that the representa—
tives inform their consti—
tuants of the apportionment.
An addendum was passed to
prevent unauthorized spend
ing by clubs. Also the 3.G.A
handled reservations for the
students who wished to make
the Penn State Orange Bowl
excursion.
In concluding, the 3.G.k.
reviewed revised aad accept=
ed the Sports Car Club and
Joint Dorm Council constitu—
tions.
Finally at the urging of
some members the s.a.A. move
,to form a constitutional rc—
view committee to review
the constitutions before
they are brought to the
S.G.A. meeting. Tne purpose 1
of this committee is Ito save
valuable meeting time for
;urgent matters.
One problem which has plagued
the S.G.A. all year is a
tight financial situation!
brought on by overspending
in previous years by
S.G.A.'s. One possible
solution is the activities
fee a subject that was quite
thoroughly reviewed in an
early Cub Issue. As of the
vacation no definite decis—
ions had been reached on the
subject. In spite of out
financial problems, Treasure'
Jim Burger has done a
fine job in coping with fis—
cal budget. Credit should
be given to our Student Body
President for spending so
Bauch laboring time handling
and directing the Student
Government Association.
