Alex Walls Speech

Alex Walls gave a speech at the Board of Trustees meeting last Friday.

I don't remember when I first met Alex. I know it was during SGA in the Fall of 2009, but I don't recall the exact circumstances. But within those first few meetings (I know this sounds cliched but it's true) I knew that he would go on to do big things at St. Mary's.

I looked through the archives and pulled out some things I wrote about him over the years on this blog, via memories~

• "Alex Walls is standing against a wall, I think he is tired of sitting"
• "Alex Walls now has heat in his bathroom, I totally care"
• "Alex Walls annoys me"
• "Why is everyone laughing at Alex Walls :["
• "Alex Walls said 'piggybacking' take a shot"
• "Alex Walls just killed a bug"
• "Gonna abstain from voting on this legislation to annoy Alex Walls"
• "I bet Alex Walls will be SGA president one day (EDITORS NOTE: ugh so close on this prediction)"
•  "Becky White just walked in and Alex Walls said "Late as usual""
• "Alex Walls is eating a banana and it's funny because bananas looks like penises"

See you back on the board one day dude

SGA Meeting 4/12/2011 Recap

Short meeting!

• There was a resolution to increase the time between classes from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.  The idea is that this would increase civility because people would have more time to talk to each other.  We decided to table this resolution because the person who created it did not show up to the SGA meeting.  I found this quite annoying at the time, but now I think it’s kinda funny/stupid.
• Senator Walls used the term ‘Gypped’ which I found offensive because it is a derogatory term towards the Gypsies.  It would be like saying “I got Jewed on this deal”.  How can a future Student Trustee use such offensive language?
• Senator McGrath informed us that someone pooped in a DPC laundry machine.
• Senator McGrath also rescued a baby duck because he is a god.
• Said baby duck was apparently adorable.

SGA Meeting 11/9/2010

UPDATE:  Also, someone mentioned Kohlers, and there were a lot of blank stares and confusion, and instantly every senior felt incredibly old.

Went to SGA last night, just like every week.  Kinda upset that SGA always makes me miss intramural sports, le sigh.

Alex Walls sat in the back by himself, kinda wish he sat up front more, miss him.

George Waggoner of CTSS came back to see what people thought of the wireless in dorms vs. increase speed debate.  Increasing speed won by a large margin, so there will probably be more put into increasing the speed of the Internet than increasing wireless access points in dorms.  This is cool because it won't take me 5 minutes to download a PDF woo.

I announced that in one month I will be 22.  Feeling old.  Birthday is on a Thursday which is cool, but also no SafeRide that week...le sigh.

Oh and I reported that I went to the Buildings and Grounds committee on Friday.  Got to sit next to Michael P. O'Brien (dude who has his name on the ARC).  He just went by Mike though.  He likes to make jokes.  He also didn't understand that there is an established Frisbee Golf course, which led to one of his jokes being really confusing.  I think he thought that we just throw our discs at random trash on the ground or something.  Dunno really.  But it was a cool meeting!

We also all read suggestions that were placed in the suggestion box on monday as a part of Care for your Campus week.  I read one that said "Jurgo needs a longer beard".  Dunno how I feel about this, his beard right now is quite elegant and well trimmed, not sure if I want him to get some sort of dwarf/santa beard (dwarf as in a LOTR dwarf obv)

SGA Meeting 10/19/2010

SGA Meeting last Tuesday.  Fun stuff.

Beginning of the meeting Alex Walls was eating a banana which was very alluring (via phallic objects)

Dean Bayless said via at one point which made me happy

Becky White said 'full frontal' at one point which was great

Alex Walls also said piggybacking at one point, which he hasn't done in a long time.  Long time readers will know that Alex Walls says piggybacking a lot at meetings.  Hopefully he will more often.

SGA Meeting 4/27/2010

Last SGA Meeting of the year

Gonna miss u Justin, Lisa, Matt, Sola, Alexandra, Louis, Debbie, Rodkey (but not really [j/k]) others etc.

Debbie Travers made us cream puff things and brownies. They are delicious. She has finally done something worthwhile (just kidding obv, Debbie has done a lot of cool stuff and will probably continue to do cool stuff as a real adult, and I'm sure her recital last Sunday went swimmingly)

8:08 - Meeting starting, this is early!

8:10 - WE JUST APPROVED THE MINUTES HELL YES!

8:11 - Chairman of the Board of Directors Muldoon is here. We are in the building that is named after him. How awesome.

8:12 - He has a cute face. He is bragging about stuff that we do, feeling used/important. He just described something as 'neat', feel like this is a good adjective.

8:14 - Kinda have to pee.

8:15 - Muldoon has a 'neat' voice, wish he was my grandfather.

8:16 - Kinda reminds me of Willie Nelson but less stoned.

8:19 - Ah this guy is great! He wants to make sure that our new on campus farm is preventing runoff (since apparently 65% of Chesapeake Bay pollution is runoff of fertilizer and other stuffs), and this is such a great idea! ahh <3 .="." div="div">

8:22 - Justin Perry has a Presidential Proclamation (his first), thanking Muldoon for chillin with the SGA for a bit.

8:23 - New Club, the SCUBA Club. SCUBA is an acronym I think, not sure really. Mike Studivan is here, I am his friend but I don't really hang out with him anymore.

8:28 - blah blah blah. I asked a question about snorkeling (<3>

8:33 - SCUBA club passed!

8:37 - Resubmitting the No All Capital Letter All Student Emails. People seem less grumpy and more likely to respond to this positively.

8:40 - Who the fuck just voted nay on this shit. Regardless is passed, fuck yes!

8:41 - Something boring but important that Justin Perry brought up just passed.

8:42 - Gonna go pee brb.

8:43 - Circle K asking for money for cool stuff to help kids who are gonna die. 800$ for hotel rooms over the summer in Florida. Circle K does a lot of really awesome stuff, like hundreds of hours of volunteering every semester. I can't say no to dying kids. Either way it passed!

8:48 - Bill about funding stuff for the farm. Justin Perry is presenting it, about 4,000$ from the St. Mary's Green Revolving Loan Fund to pay for student farmers, none of which are alumni or non-students (which was earlier an issue, so there has been a compromise).

8:50 - Alex Walls (<3>

8:53 - It passed! Go Campus Farm. They need to give it a catchy name, like Tom Seahawk Farm (I get egotistical when drinking).

8:54 - "Fuck the Parking Committee" - Justin Perry (quote may not be accurate). But yeah, voting to get rid of the Parking Committee. UNANIMOUS VOTE WOOO!.

8:56 - Officer Reports, exciting!

8:58 - No SafeRide this week, :[.

9:02 - Chris Rodkey just said "shrubbery". Middle School me is laughing about Monty Python right now.

9:03 - Oh my god Middle School was like a decade ago.

9:04 - "It's been real" - Anna Winship.

9:08 - Robb is saying something silly that will never happen. Or maybe it will which would be cool. A Deli at the Waterfront. "It should also have a bar" - at least half the SGA.

9:13 - Becky White has a 10$ dollar bill in her mouth, is she a stripper?

9:14 - Katie Caffey is awesome for holding my computer while I get sworn in!!!!

9:16 - Ken just got sworn in - booo-ya! He is holding the gavel! Whooooaaaa (-Katie C)

9:17 - Done!

Hey thanks to everyone who has read my SGA posts over the years, hope it has given you some insight to what SGA is about. Not gonna be able to do it next year, but I'm going to be looking for a protege/replace SGA blogger.
