Initiatives we would most like to see tackled during the upcoming Student Government election season:
Student life:
• Create more transparency in the selection of artists for Groovin’ on the Grounds, perhaps allowing students to select the acts that will perform by voting on the finalists.
• Reroute the Tiger Trails buses to include a stop at East Campus Apartments.
• Ensure that all vending machines accept TigerCASH.
• Revoke the classification of hookah pipes as drug paraphernalia and allow them in residence halls.
• Add more newsstands that offer copies of USA Today and The New York Times.
Academics:
• Eliminate attendance or participation from factoring into class grades, leaving only exams, projects and specific graded assignments.
• Extend library hours.
• Provide students with an allotted number of free printed pages every semester on campus printers.
Safety:
• Install blue-light phones throughout campus for increased safety measures.
• Increase the number of LSU Police Department officers patrolling campus at night.
Budget cuts:
• Take the Board of Supervisors position to advocate against budget cuts to LSU’s main campus.
Athletics:
• Eliminate the towing of legally parked cars on Fridays before home football games.
• Reduce the amount of student parking that gets blocked off to students during sporting events, particularly basketball games.
• Increase priority points for smaller sporting events.
