GOALS
SGA needs to follow through with them

Last semester, Student Government Association officer candidates presented their goals for the academic year.

With one semester in the books for the officers, it looks like they have a lot more work to do.

Some of its goals included creating an honor code, improving Froggie 5-0, having an extra bus for Worth Hills and redesigning how House and Programming Council represent student needs.

None of those have been met. An honor code is still in the works and no efforts have been made to improve campus safety.

SGA’s online book exchange program is at a stand-still, yet $500 is being set aside for the program in the fall. What makes you think it’s going to get approved in the fall?

One of the few bills that was passed this semester is a bill to allow swipe cards at concession stands at basketball and baseball games. It was passed unanimously this week.

Good job on passing that one, but the only problem is, SGA worked all semester to pass something it can’t change. Concessions at athletic events aren’t supplied by Sodexho.

Also this week, SGA president Brad Thompson announced that student fees would not be increased next semester.

Kudos SGA. After a semester of not completely living up to promises, it’s good to know that even more of our money isn’t going to be sitting in a SGA bank account.

SGA’s officers have one semester left to meet the above goals. Don’t waste it. Do what you say you’re going to do.
