The Student Government Association began its first session of Congress with a detailed description of the plans for Carrollton Hall.
According to Director of Residential Life Robert Reed, most people living in the building can expect to move at least once during the school year. Construction will be intense but will not occur during finals or midterms due to noise concerns.
The money to fix the hall is, for now, being fronted by the university with hopes of recouping the losses in pending litigation. The effects of the current financial setback on the rest of campus life are unknown.
Congress also learned Tuesday that USA Today will be providing more copies of its publication for the College of Arts and Sciences. The program’s coordinators also plan to include more recycling containers to collect the increased waste.
While the Prowler is now a thing of the past, plans to implement a cab system for students are nearing completion. The system will resemble a debit card account to pay cab fares. The cards will be provided by SGA on a first come-first serve basis and will only be activated during certain hours. In the mind of SGA organizers, this will possibly, discourage drunk driving among students.
