SGA met with clubs on Tuesday night to
discuss upcoming events for the last few
weeks of the semester.
BC Greens president Brandon DeNully an
nounced a project to build picnic tables for the
garden behind the caf to beautify the area and
give students another place to hang out.
“1 think it’ll make the area look nicer,” said
DeNully. “It’s an area that’s seen a lot by the
community so I want to make sure it looks

good.” Anyone interested in helping build
the tables should contact DeNully for more
information.
From the Debate Society, Burton Hodges
requested money to buy gavels to use in
future debates and to give as prizes to debate
winners. Generally, the COM 380 class holds
an open debate at the end of the fall semester
that is judged and scored by members of the
judicial community in Brevard.
“We just want a more official look for the
society,” said Hodges. “The gavels would
really add an element that has been missing
from past debates.” In addition to being used
in debates, decorated gavels would also be
given to the winners of each team as recogni
tion for their hard work during the semester.
Aside from club activities, the SGA also
spoke more about the upcoming Spring For
mal and SGA elections. At the last meeting
before spring break, it was said proceeds from
the Spring Formal would raise funds for a
to-be-determined cause on campus. President
Elise Labus announced at Tuesday’s meeting
that proceeds from this year’s formal would
go to the renovation of the pool area in the
gym to convert it into another weight room
for athletic teams.
Converting the
area to another
weight room
would alleviate
crowding in the
exercise room
and current
weight room,
which aren’t
big enough to
accommodate
entire teams for
workouts.
“This year it
was the weight
room,” said La-
bus, “but next
year the project
will be voted on
by the SGA. This means that if students have a
particular project in mind to fund, they should
attend SGA meetings to let their opinion be
known.”
Elections are upon us this month, and
SGA is getting a head start in the application
process. In this issue is a paper application
with the listed requirements to run for office.
Applications are due by March 29.
After all of the applications have been
submitted and looked over, open forums will
be held for the students applying for cabinet
positions to address campus issues in front of
their peers. Stay tuned for more election news
in coming Clarion issues.
