The Student Government Association Senate discussed dress code at Senate meetings, preliminary planning for the lower level of the Thompson Student Center, and the problems with the Texan Cards at the meeting on Monday at 5:15 p.m.
They discussed the issue of Senate dress code to make it a more efficient resolution compared to the previous year. The issue was the expense, up-keep and constant changing that comes with wearing formal business apparel to their meetings verses the unprofessional appearance of casual wear. The issue was resolved by coming to a compromise of requiring a collared shirt for Senate meetings.
The Senate also had preliminary discussions concerning the rearranging of the lower level of the TSC. It was decided that the main concern was to keep an area designated for a large student meeting room to accommodate 100 students. "We all agree we want to keep a large meeting area." said Brady Pendleton, SGA president.
Another issue concerning the quality of Texan Cards was addressed. Many students have complained because the cards wear our easily. Many have been made to pay at football games because their card would not swipe in that particular machine even if the card works fine in other swipe machines. Also, the position of the picture identification was called into question because it is also on the top where the swipe bar is located, gets swiped many times and soon becomes unrecognizable.
All students are invited to attend SGA meetings. The Senate meets at 5:15 p.m. on Mondays in TSC 219 and the House meets on Wednesdays in TSC 22D.
