Purdue Student Government will hold its second
meeting of the semester at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Civil Engineering
Building, Room 1144.
Purdue Student Government vice president Matt Newton
said that the change was made to accommodate a presentation by Ken Burns,
the executive vice president and treasurer of the University.
"Ken Burns will be giving an audio-visual presentation
on facilities and future planning for the University," Newton said.
"The room change was necessary to allow enough space for the equipment."
Newton also said that the Student Affairs Committee
has been looking into amending the student honor code in University
regulations.
"The Student Affairs Committee has written a recommendation
to the University Senate to endorse and amend the new honor code," Newton
said.
The Schools of Engineering senator Eric Mehringer
said that they are examining the way the Student Government runs the
presidential and senate elections.
"We are looking into potential format changes for
the elections and will be voting on whether or not we should make the
changes at the meeting," Mehringer said.
The School of Liberal Arts senator Sean Cowley
said that some of the other issues that are going to be discussed are
pertinent to students' convenience on campus.
"The three main things that we are going to be
looking into are the election reform, having faculty post their syllabi
on the Internet a semester ahead of time, and the food service surveys
which were on SSINFO," said Cowley. "These issues are the most pressing
at the moment because they are much more involved and need more time
to work on."
Cowley also said that the Student Government is
going to be doing research on the registration and new student fees.
Newton added that the food service surveys were
designed to give students more options with their ID card.
"We're looking at the bigger picture for improving
food service for both on and off-campus students," Newton said. "Our
goal is for students to be able to use their ID cards for more applications
and for them to have more options available with it."
