SGA REPORT
Greetings and salutations! This week I'll discuss some of the
many functions of the Student Government Association.
To start, we are the major registering body of Penn State-Behrend
for all clubs. We allocate money to clubs, through budgets they
submit, for activities and events that are held on campus. SGA also
co-sponsors many events throughout the year. One example is this
weekend's All-U-Day at University Park.
When a new groups forms, they must submit their constitution to
SGA for approval. When policies need to be changed or updated,
they are brought to us for revision.
Many organizations are represtented on SGA including: Commuter
Council, Interfraternity Council, Panhellinic Council, Joint Resident
Council, Multi-Cultural Council, and the Student Programming
Council. Those clubs and organizations that do not have direct
representation are represented through the Student Organizations
Council.
The SGA office is located downstairs in the Reed Building and if
questions arise they can be brought to the office.
We have one seat open for a Commuter Senator. If you are
interested in becoming a senator contact Hal Coffey at x 6721 or the
SGA office at x 6489.
Freshmen elections will be held next week on Tuesday
September 28 and Wednsday September 29 in the Mail
Room area and in the Science Building, respectively.
All freshmen should vote for the election because the
candidates will be your voice on SGA.
Last, SGA is holding a leadership retreat at Camp Judson on
October 15,16, and 17. The retreat is open to all students. Those
interested should contact your club president or Sam Epps at SGA.

Correction
In the article "New Greek
Guidelines Cause Stir," Mike
Libidinsky was misquoted in the
second paragraph. It should read:
"to improve students' scholarship
and provide them with more
academic programming."
The first change in the
guidelines in column two should
read: "...the exclusion of
provisional and/or non-degree
students from rushing, pledging,
and/or associating..."
The second paragraph in
column two should be changed
to: "...semester so they can
establish a solid grade base before
pledging/associating (grade
requirements are by individual
chapter policy). Executive
members of IFC and Panhellenic
must have a 2.5 cumulative
average to hold office...", not a
2.5 GPA requirement for all
members.
