After members were sworn into their positions, they discussed campus goals for the semester and addressed student requests.
"I'm excited to get this year rolling," said senior Elizabeth Eisele, SGA president and a broadcast journalism major. Eisele said she wants to improve the amount of commuter involvement on campus as well as campus support and involvement in events. Eisele said attending campus events, in particular SGA meetings, will benefit students.
"We are actually very informative, but people don't know that because they don't come," Eisele said.
Ted Hoef, dean of students, revealed that the truck parked outside of the UC is a freezer-refrigerator unit.
A unit large enough to house supplies for Crossroads, a combination of World of Wings, Freshens and Blimpie, was not installed during construction.
Supplies were previously being stored in Marletto's Marketplace and UC food service workers had to transport needed supplies by foot.
The truck will serve as a temporary unit until one is added to a future location near the Kirk House.
Hoef said on campus living facilities are not able accommodate the demand for living quarters and eighty-seven students are currently being housed in Loretto.
Hoef said more space should be available in February, when students living on campus study abroad.
Maria Hall will be available for student dorms in Fall 2008. The space will be renovated to resemble West Hall, Hoef said.
The facility will have similar furniture, room sizes and styles. After the completion of Maria Hall, Loretto Hall will be converted into office spaces.
Group Funding, Recognition and Complaints
Two groups were approved for SGA funding during Tuesday's meeting. The Special Interest Group on Graphics and Interactive Techniques, an animation and web design club, wants to use the group to share each other's skills as well as for network.
The group is a student branch of SIGGRAPH, international organization whose only St. Louis chapter is located at Webster.
