Following the senatorial votes which take place on March 12, the results of the the SGA budget for 1998-99 will be made public and organizations will be expected to plan accordingly. from SIDEWALK, page 1 The Town of Elon College as well as the college are joining forces with SGA to build these sidewalks in order to create a safer atmosphere. The total cost of the sidewalk is estimated at $22,550; however, SGA will only be responsible for $7,517. “This gives us [SGA] an op portunity for us to ‘leave a mark’”, SGA President Ashton Newhall said about the decision. SGA’s portion will come out of the rollover account, an account comprised of organizational left overs, which currently stands at approximately $63,000. An SGA senator said that pro crastination may not be wise as Safe Rides was not formed until after the death of an Elon indi vidual. Maintenance of the new side walk will be kept by the Town of Elon College and there is the possi bility of trashcans lining the facil ity.
