Student Government Commissioner of Elections Jordan Milazzo announced at Wednesday night’s SG Senate meeting R&B star Akon will perform an extra hour at Groovin’ on the Grounds.After the announcement, sentors debated SG Concurrent Resolution No. 17, which was designed to facilitate the transition into a paperless senate environment.The resolution, authored by College of Business senators Greg Upton and Matthew Babineaux, had been submitted two weeks before but had to be resubmitted because of a technicality.As part of an inititive to make the senate more “green,” the resolution proposed all business be projected on a screen for senate review.This would include the bills, resolutions and appropriations.Because the current senate chambers do not have a permenant projection screen, the resolution would not take effect until the senate officially moved into their new chambers once Student Union construction permits.Upton said projecting bills on screen would allow everyone to view amendments being made to bills rather than relying only on the secretary to repeat it.Some senators were nervous that passing the bill would eliminate hard copies which they said were nessecary for important business.”I’m someone who has to deal with printing out this stuff on a weekly basis, and I’d love to cut down on it for the next speaker, but certain things we do need in paper form,” said Speaker Ben Clark.Upton said here would not be a penalty for printing important documents.Instead, the resolution would state a usual policy for the senate to follow.The bill passed unanimously after about 15 minutes of debate.—-Contact Adam Duvernay at [email protected]
