SGA update- new organizations,
new ideas, new faces
By Danette Parrett and
April Bogdanski
The Collegian
With the beginning of the 92-
93 academic year, the Student
Government Association (SGA)
has been busy. SGA has
welcomed some new
organizations and has been taking
suggestions from students for
improvements on campus.
Two of the groups organized,
under SGA this year are the
Behrend Service Group (BSG) and
the Accounting Club.
BSG is a new organization that
bc'gan this year. Its primary
purpose is to represent Behrend
College to the community
through service.
One of BSG's goals is to focus
energy on positive goals for the
campus and the community.
Lori Shcttcrly, philanlhoropic
chairperson, said, "We arc
planning to volunteer with the
Eric Infant and Youth Home, a
home for the mentally and
physically handicapped."
There will be an informational
meeting open to students on
November 12 at 8:00. The place
the meeting will be held will be
announced at a later date.
The Accounting Club has been
reinstated. Some goals of the
group are to invite speakers, to
sponsor fund raisers, and to hold
dinners.
A few suggestions have been
recognized and considered by
SGA.
A few students have approached
Greg Farrell, vice president of
SGA, suggesting that SGA
sponsor birthday grams for
students.
Because one of the members of
SGA is on the residence life staff,
it has been brought to SGA's
attention that the laundry room in
Tigress Hall is being locked after
midnight.
Another issue brought to the
attention of SGA is the
controversy being raised over the
way the Wintcrgrccn Cafe takes
phone orders. The cafe has been
asking for ID numbers for
automatic charges, due to the lack
of phone order pick-ups.
Unfortunately, students are
giving ID numbers other than
their own.
The members of SGA have
noticed an improvement since
last year. The improvement can
be seen not only in the senators
and committee heads, but also in
the cooperation among the
members, increasing the amount

of work that is being
accomplished.
Gail Senoski, secretary of SGA,
said, "This is the second
executive board I've worked
under, and I feel this year we are
more organized, more efficient,
and get along better. It's been a
lot easier to get things
accomplished."
"SGA has done a lot this year
and we've got a lot of projects in
the works," said Julian Hing, a
resident senator. "The committees
are running very efficiently. I am
proud to serve on this year's
SGA."
Matt Cissne, a resident senator,
said, "I’m pleased with the large
number of constitutions we've
approved this year. I'm glad to
see the variety of groups at
Behrcnd."
Tcsha Nesbil
a commuter
senator, is concerned about the
students' involvement.
"Many students don't know
about SGA. We should find ways
to let students know that they can
come to the SGA meetings with
their problems and concerns."
For those interested, SGA
meetings arc held on Wednesdays
at 5:15 p.m. in Reed 116.
