End of Report

Gabriel Riegle – Chief Justice – February 2nd, 2015

1)Events attended

2)Old Business

  1. Finalized Constitution and Bylaws.
  2. Met with Zena to finish the final touches concerning the Bylaws and Constitution
  3. Prepared for trip to COSGA

3)New Business

  1. Continue working on Elections.
  2. In contact with CaTS to have a voting page set up
  3. Supply SEC with necessary marketing materials
  4. Deal with anything that always comes up
  5. Filing documents and records for the next elections.
  6. Scheduling evaluation meetings.

4)Outreach

5)Concerns

  1. Students in the Medical Field complain about not being fully prepared in the physics courses for the MCAT. A suggestion was made to have a single semester class (instead of the current academic year class) that specifically covers material that is pertinent to the newest edition of the MCAT. If you need more info, I will get you in-touch with the originator of this idea if he/she wants to speak about it.
  2. The Moat has raised a lot of controversy, and students seem to like the tradition that it has instilled, but the university realizes the potential for the space aesthetically. A majority of the students I’ve spoken with are juniors and seniors and wish the moat to stay, but I believe it serves little purpose and should suit better as an overhang space for more tables and an open view of the quad as the younger students I have spoken with have said.
  3. Students have heard about the plans for BACON, but have yet to see any construction or relocation occur. They look forward to an amphitheatre.
  4. A group of students have commented that the light pole near the Alumni Bell Tower does not illuminate the surrounding area quite as well as they would please for they feared the possibility of malice occurring and would like to see the light bulb changed.
  5. Dayton campus students are not allowed to get into the Lake campus Rec Center.
