The first proposal is to estab lish “E-SPAN,” a variation of the cable network C-SPAN, which will film the Thursday night SGA meet ings. The meetings will be broad cast over ESTV, Elon channels 5 and 14, at least twice a week. In its first stage, E-SPAN would simply involve a single cam era set up in the back of the meeting room. There would be at least two microphones set up around the room as well. The meeting would be shown unedited from role call to adjournment. In later stages, more cameras could be added to give close-ups of individual speakers and more mi crophones would be set up through out the room. Junior Jim Crotts, the aca demic council senator who proposed the three bills, said: “We always talk about bringing about aware ness. Of all the things we do, this would be one of the best ways, at least in my mind, of reaching as many students as possible.” The second proposal is for the establishment of a public forum during SGA meetings. This bill would have the SGA set aside a certain amount of time during their meetings in which members of the student body could speak freely to the SGA. The forum time is mod eled after a practice done by many local governing bodies. The current SGA practice for when a member of the student body Emily MacDonnell/TTie Pendulum Getting a head start on Elon’s spring cleaning, Edward Pruitt from Physical Plant cleans Fonville Fountain Thursday, Jan. 21. wishes to speak is to request a time to speak from the SGA president before the meeting. At the meeting, the Senate would have to vote to suspend the Senate rules for the time the person speaks. This proposal would make scheduled time for students to speak a mandatory part of the meeting schedule without necessitating a vote every meeting. “I think the general student body should have that right [to speak at meetings],” Crotts said. see SGA, page 5 Renovated Duke building opens Carrie Lancos The Pendulum The renovated Duke build ing, which now houses the Career Center, Financial Planning, the math department and the computer sci ence department, opened for stu dents this week. The Career Center and Fi nancial Planning are located on the first floor, the math department of fices and classrooms are on the sec ond floor and the computer science department offices, classrooms and computer labs are on the third floor. “The new facilities are fan tastic,” Rosalind Reichard, dean of math and sciences, said. “There’s so much more room, it has to be at least triple the space of the old fa cilities.” see DUKE, page 5 New dining facility, meal plan to serve East, Elon Place, Danieley Center Carrie Lancos The Pendulum Apartment dwellers in East Campus Apartments, Elon Place and the Danieley Center will have ac cess to a new dining facility and a new meal plan next fall. In conjunction with the build ing of the Danieley Center, con struction is underway on the dining facility, located adjacent to the new apartments. The east campus dining facil ity will feature a rotisserie chicken menu with rotating side items and breads similar to Boston Market. Hot sandwiches, soups and appetiz ers will also be served all day. In addition there will be a deli section which serves cold sand wiches and offers take-home lunchmeat by the pound. The new facility will also pro vide convenience store amenities, such as a reach-in freezer for ice cream and frozen dinners; dry good shelves for canned soups and en trees, bread and spreads, coffee, candy and boxed goods; and a reach- in cooler for bottled drinks, milk, eggs and yogurt. While the emphasis for the new dining facility is take-home convenience, there will be a small seating section like that of the Octogon Cafe, as well as a lounge much like that of the Fireplace Lounge in Moseley Center. see DINING, page 5
