Although the senators of the Buildings and Grounds Committee have gone through a very difficult struggle to get Beautification Day plans finalized, there are less than ten days left until the event kicks off. According to the original intent of the project, the funding was going to come from the Buildings and Grounds department. However, now the funds are being donated by the Senate and Student Life. In addition to these sources, the individual class boards have donated 200 dollars toward the benches that have been ordered for the event. Things are now looking very good for the event.
As always, committee reports were shared with the Senate and being that the end of the month is around the corner, "Of the Month" nominations were made. The Spring semester has a tendency to fly by much quicker than the Fall semester, so Feb. and March awards were combined into one. After votes were tallied, the winning committee of the month was declared the Buildings and Grounds committee.
In addition to the accomplishments of the Buildings and Grounds committee, the IT committee has put a lot of work into coming up with a new cable line for next year. Each senator was given the opportunity to compile a new line up for next Fall, which is compiled by the IT Department and voted on with superiors. Any questions or concerns about the line up should be addressed to Senator Justin Schiavone or the IT Department.
Since the end of the year is coming up very soon, Senate has elected its yearly king and queen. These two individuals will walk with the kings and queens from other organizations in a procession on skit night in the Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts. All kings and queens will also go through an application process to compete for the King and Queen of SHU. The representatives for Student Senate are Kurt McLoud, VP of Senate, and Kelly Parks, Senate Secretary. Congratulations Kurt and Kelly! The Senate would like to wish them a good luck in the application process.
Upcoming events for the Senate include the third Annual AIDS Walk, which is taking place April 21 through the 22. This event is open to the public and team sign ups will take place until the day of the event. Teams of ten people are welcome to participate, and pledge sheets will be given to each team leader. Prizes will also be given out for that team who raises the most money. Please join the Student Senate in participating in this relay event to fight a growing epidemic in America.
