Have You ever wondered what the
Student Government Association has
been up to lately? Well, the SGA has
been involved in a major upheaval
which began last spring. The upheaval
started with the changing of the Stu
dent Court to the Hearing Board. The
Hearing Board is a disciplinary board
which hears cases of student violations
of the Code of Student Conduct. The
Hearing Board consists of three students,
one faculty member, and one non
policy administrator. Faculty members
and administrators are a new addition
to the Hearing Board this year. We
hope this will aid in stimulating com
munication between the students, the
faculty, and the administration. The
Hearing Board is conducted very in
formally. It meets regularly on Tuesday
evenings in the SGA Conference Room.
The purpose of the Hearing Board is to
protect students rights and to punish
those that do not abide by the rules set
down by the college. Its function is to
serve as a learning experience for the
student.
Some changes are also being made in
the Legislative branch of the Student
Government Association. The Legis
lative Review Committee is in the pro
cess of working on a possible precinct
based election for the coming year.
This idea would allow for better student
representation. Students running for the
office of Senate would be elected by
their dorm rather than the student body
at targe. SGA officers and class officers
would continue to be elected by the
entire student body. The elected officers
in the Senate would then be responsible
for representing the students in their
dormitory, apartment complex, or
townhouse complex. This proposal is
still in the planning stages and will come
before the Senate to be voted upon at a
later date.
Two new committees have been in
troduced into the Senate: the Food
Service commitee and the Traffic com-
mitee. Both of these committees have
forms that are available for students to
make positive or negative comments in
these areas. These comments are com
piled, discussed with-in the committee,
and then action is taken.
You may not be aware that the Stu
dent Government Associa.tion does
offer benefits to the student of which
he can take advantage. One benefit, is
the Emergency Loan Fund. This fund
allows a student to borrow up to $75
from the SGA in an emergency situation.
Another benefit is Bill Barnes, a lawyer,
who comes to Mars Hill on the last
Wednesday of each month. He is in the
SGA office from 3:00 to 5:00 PM in the
afternoon to give legal counsel. If you
wish to make an appointment to speak
with him, call No. 254. The SGA also
aids in funding various clubs and organ
izations on campus.
The SGA is also involved in sponsoring
activities such as Career Day. Career
Day provides an opportunity for Juniors
and Seniors to talk with someone con
cerning job opportunities in their major
when they graduate. The SGA is plan
ning tosponsor a Symposium in the spring.
There will be speakers and films cover
ing one topic that is of major interest
to the student body. The SGA is also
planning to become involved in Spring
Orientation. The SGA will be in charge
of orienting incoming students to the
Mars Hill College Campus. Activities
and programs will be provided for the
new students. The SGA also operates a
Book Exchange at the beginning of each
semester in which students can sell and
buy used text books.
These are a few of the things that the
SGA is now involved in. If you have any
comments or suggestions, write to the
SGA in care of PO Box 1 or call No. 254.
We want to hear your views and opinions.
