House elects committee chairpersons for 2003

The House of Student Representatives chose committee chairpersons for next semester during its meeting Tuesday.

George Ferguson, a freshman business major, was elected Dining Services Committee chairman and said one of his first actions will be to ensure cold drinks for students.

“One of the main things I want to hit on as soon as I get the position is the drinks in Frogbytes,” Ferguson said. “We pay a lot of money and they’re lukewarm.”

A bill to allow swipe cards at concession stands at baseball and basketball games passed unanimously.

Blake Eason, University Affairs Committee chairman, said there is no way the swipe cards can be used at football games because football concessions are not supplied by Sodexho.

Also during the SGA meeting:

• Jose Luis Hernandez, a freshman music major, was re-elected chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee.
• Nick James, a sophomore political science major, was re-elected chairman of the Elections and Regulations Committee.
• Tom Casey, a freshman political science major, was elected chairman of the University Affairs Committee.
• David Watson, a freshman business major, was elected chairman of the Permanent Improvements Committee
• Ray Miller, a freshman religion major, was elected chairman of the Residential Concerns Committee.
