First SGA Meeting of the year!!!!!!!
8:05 - Meeting starts
8:13 - We are watching a Webinar about a new website, "discoverED", which is all about finding jobs after college. Pretty cool stuff I guess. The guy is talking to the internet while giving us a guided tour of the website. The future is now! Checkout www.bediscovered.com starting February 2nd! It's run by a SMCM alumn so give him your support I guess?
8:18 - Marlena Weiss was just sworn in as our new Secretary, and Adam Matthai as our new Parliamentarian. Exciting! Marlena is wearing a sweet vest, I am very jealous of it.
8:20 - Bill about SGA covering the cost of Renewable Energy Credits. Boring stuff. But, Sunny brought up the idea of raising student fees and then saving some of the new income for later investment into green intiatives such as solar panels, etc. I think this was a really cool idea.
8:25 - Iben Ricket is staring off into space, but staring off into space right at me, which is making me feel uneasy because her gaze is intimidating. I hope we have a meeting about Publicity soon because they are pretty fun/I love SGA publicity.
8:28 - REC Bill got passed! wooo.
8:30 - Matt Fafoutis is talking about the search for a new President. My suggestions:
-Bush (out of a job now)
-Myself
-Matt Fafoutis :3
-Cal Ripken (my personal favorite option)
8:32 - Nora Olney just told us about the Inauguration Edition of The Nest. Exciting?
8:34 - Jeremy Pevner just spoke in third person
8:40 - blah blah blah
8:44 - blah blah blah
8:45 - Meeting Adjourned

SGA Meeting 12/9
SGA Meeting!
Today is my Birthday!
8:10 - I was late but the meeting started right as I arrived. They have cheese and crackers and drinks and Rocher candies. I fucking love Rocher. And Cheese. Senator Van Parys and I love cheese.
8:12 - I walked in from peeing during roll call, they called my name, and then I grabbed three Rocher candies and people laughed
8:14 - Sociology Club. They are splitting from the Anthropology club. It's all very weird but whatever I don't care. I wish them the best of luck.
8:18 - We just voted a ginger for something. I don't know what but we just voted in favor of a ginger. I am considering resigning
8:20 - Kait Hines is wearing a hat. It reminds me of those Cuban Communist hats, but it has a different design for the fabric. Either way, I usually don't like these hats, but I think it looks nice on her.
8:21 - Larry Vote is here. At least I think it is him, I'm not all that sure. He is talking a lot. I have no idea what is going on. Okay he is talking about 83 objectives and milestones that the college is trying to accomplish. One of them was having 35 students go into MAT. I want to go into MAT, so I am glad they are more or less accepting everyone.
8:25 - Jeremy Pevner and Sunny Schnitzer are sitting in front of me. Sunny is the President of the SGA, she is a cutie. They usually sit on the other side. This is exciting!
8:31 - Larry Vote is still talking. Iben Ricket asked a question. She is wearing this sweet blue blazer. It's like...darker than robin's egg, but not too dark. A very bright color, good for Spring. He is answering her question but I don't really get it.
8:43 - It's really hard to pay attention sometimes, but overall SMCM seems to be accomplishing its goals.
8:45 - The SGA just sang me, Ken Benjes, Happy Birthday. This is incredibly exciting.
8:48 - Sunny is motivating the SGA to make the meetings more interesting. Woo!
8:53 - I am very sleepy :[
8:57 - Jeremy is talking about stuff he talked about tuition increases. They passed, so tuition will increase. Jeremy voted against them, but he was the only one which is kinda lame, but expected. River Center is now the James P. Muldoon River Center. Muldoon is a kickass name, because it reminds me of Mt. Doon/Doom from Lord of the Rings.
9:04 - O god I just dropped the Lego Poinsettia that I made. It made a noise, but not too loud. I miss it :[
9:06 - The MHEC Representative (she talks about stuff about school or something) is saying the same things that she said at the Sunday Meeting. This is really boring.
9:08 - We are congratulating Kait Hines on being a cool webmaster, I loves her.
9:11 - Oh my god Iben Ricket just mentioned me for researching frisbees to give out at SGA events. I feel very honored
9:23 - Sunny just told Senator Van Parys and I that we won festive attire!
9:24 - Meeting adjourned

Demonstration Against Tuition Increases
There's a facebook event that went up a few days ago with students planning to demonstrate at the next Board of Trustees meeting over tuition increases. I'm really excited that people are aware of this, and it shows that Jeremy Pevner has done a really good job of informing the student body of important issues.
I like that the event organizers want it to be a somewhat restrained, peaceful, and quiet demonstration. Aaron French responded that he wants to open up the discussion to the possibility of a more boisterous demonstration, but I feel that in this sort of situation it isn't as necessary, and could be detrimental. The Board of Trustees is not our enemy, so I think a more respectful demonstration is the appropriate form of action.
That said, it's also important to note that increasing tuition is a result, to a fair extent, of decreasing budgets, and not just increasing expenditures. I wrote this on the wall and I hope that I am not talking out of my ass, because then I would look really stupid.
The event is set for Saturday December 6th at 10AM in the Campus Center parking lot.

SGA Meeting 12/2
8:05 - Meeting Started
8:08 - Joanne Goldwater is here! She is giving us a summary of the BASE conversations that ResLife did. There was really good participation in the BASE conversations except for Calvert, which had like 32% participation. JAG is really good at making powerpoints.
8:16 - Brian Caffey is helping me with my Chinese homework :3
8:29 - Brian is now doing my homework for me. 她做我的功课。
8:39 - We are talking about smoking on campus. Whenever someone says "smokers" I think of the bad guys from Water World. I'm sorry, but I fucking loved Water World. It's one of my favorite movies. Someone brought up the idea of gazebos for the smokers.
GAZEBOS!!! I've been saying this for months. Prince George is totally getting a gazebo, it must happen. I love gazebos and the Amish that make them.
8:52 - JAG just mentioned "The Royal We". It reminded Senator Van Parys and I of The Big Lebowski.
8:56 - JAG refrenced Animal House
8:57 - St. Mary's Horror club thing. They want to watch horror movies and discuss horror movies and such. I don't like horror movies because they are scary. Hitchcock films are cool because they're thrillers as opposed to violent porn. I really loved Rear Window. It's the one where the guy is stuck in a wheelchair and starts spying on his neighbors. Lots of TV shows to homages to it. This guy is talking a lot and I am not really paying attention, but I do like the fact that he want to analyze and look at the films from an educational standpoint, rather than just watching horror films. It passed wooooo!
9:06 - Alabaster Women. It's a group about dancing for Jesus. I don't get it but I love dancing. It passed!
9:24 - Going over budget stuff. SMUT got money yay. I think we are planning to go to a tournament all spring break. Exciting!
9:44 - Jeremy Pevner tearjerker moment. He is talking about all the responses he got concerning tuition increases, and it sounds very depressing. Apparently he got over 100 emails. I hope he does well at the Board of Trustees meeting. Good luck Jeremy! Oooo he just revealed that he is going to vote against Tuition increases, exciting! I am sure that he will be able to make his case and show the rest of the Board that it is an issue, and that something has to be done about rising tuition costs.

SGA Meeting 11/11
SGA Meeting wooo! Today is Sunny's birthday, and she is our President. I made her several cards!
8:09 - Meeting started
8:17 - SOAN club is trying to break up, as in they want a separate Anthropology club. Pevner is drilling them and I am glad because they did not think this whole thing through very well. They want to have Anthro club and SOAN, instead of trying to have anthro and sociology. They really need all the club leaders here to decide what happens when they split. Either way it's pretty annoying and boring.
8:32 - Okay now we are debating anonymous vs. transparent voting. I like the debate but it's also Sunny's 21st and she needs to go have her first shot at the Door.
8:37 - Anthropology is now a club!
8:38 - Judo club! This kid is really awkward and nervous, I feel awkward for him. I think they are requesting too much money but I don't really know. Okay it passed!!! woooooo
8:49 - Just passed a resolution to thank Rescue Squads and Public Safety. Woo.
8:59 - Chris Rodkey is bringing up a bill to make a print computer in the Library. You can only use the computer for a few minutes and it's really just to print out stuff. Cool idea. It just passed.
9:08 - I think Jeremy Pevner just hurt himself. I looked over and he was making pain faces. I feel sorry for him :[
9:13 - Things are wrappin up, almost over. Soon we will have a cake for Sunny!
9:25 - We motioned to sing happy birthday

An Apology
I would like to apologize to Jeremy Pevner. It has come to my attention that people actually read this blog, and I've said a lot of mean things about him, and that he is aware of this.
Jeremy is easily one of the hardest working students on campus. I don't know how he was time to put so much effort into the school and its future, while being RHC of WC and attending class. It's just ridiculous. He knows about everything going on at SMCM and can really give you an excellent summary of any campus issue.
And even though he talks a lot during SGA meeting and has an opinion on everything, I think it would really be a major loss if he wasn't around. I know that personally Jeremy has been of help to me in various ways, and the 09-10 school year is going to be a lot different without him around.
In conclusion, Jeremy I honestly am sorry for saying those things because you of all people don't deserve it.
