SGA Meeting 4/13/2010

8:00 - Becky just gave me some nuts! I love her salty nuts!

8:03 - Hot French guy is here again.

8:12 - Finally starting.

8:15 - Student Speakout! Aaron French is here. Talking about the farm. They are planting stuff like squash! I am ambivalent about squash. They are starting off by planting a half-acre plot to provide food to Bon Appetit. I hate farmers but this is a cool idea.

8:19 - Math for social justice class is here, saying that they want a bussing thing into town. I don't understand why the public transportation isn't enough.

8:22 - Guest speakers, the French guy and Shane Hall. Talking about St. Mary's Climate Action Plan. Boring! Gonna watch the Orioles game. They are up by 1! Yay!

8:24 - French guy reminds me of the black dude from Gilmore Girls. He was the best. I think his name was Michel.

8:25 - Most of our carbon footprint comes from Electricity, something like 55%.

8:29 - This is confusing! Not really but it is a very complicated issue. But it seems like the school is in the process of identifying where we can lower our carbon footprint, and then create a strategy around that information to then lower our carbon footprint. So it's cool that the school is doing this and such. There are a lot of ways to reach carbon neutrality it seems.

8:35 - 100% carbon neutral - Bulldoze SMCM and plant trees over the school's grave. Lols.

8:38 - Goal for 2012 - Reduce energy by 15% via motion sensors, boiler replacements, solar water heaters, window replacements, etc.

8:39 - Other goals for 2020, but seriously that is a decade away and I don't really care that much.

8:40 - "Cosmic Pizza"

8:42 - Oh my god it is already 8:42, this is taking too long.

8:48 - Why didn't I do homework before SGA ugh.

8:51 - Putting on glasses so I can go to sleep (not really though).

8:52 - Some people just left.

8:53 - French dude is saying this sort of thing will attract students. I don't really think energy and carbon footprints was something I considered when looking at colleges, but maybe it's something that students feel is important when choosing a college. I think I chose SMCM because it was public and a small liberal arts college.

8:56 - Kelly Smolinsky is here to talk about Gender Neutral Housing. Forgot that I was sponsoring this legislation, awesome! Marlena is showing us a powerpoint, it is really well done. Guilford has gender neutral housing, <3>

8:59 - This would only affect North Campus, which I think is a good idea. My guess is that not a lot of people are going to take this opportunity, but I'm really glad that we are going to have it. Makes us look way cooler.

9:08 - I want ice cream. Gonna get a burrito after SGA I think.

9:09 - Oh my god Orioles are up by 3! Will they finally win tonight?

9:12 - I don't know if I would want a female roommate, feel like my collection of misogynist posters may offend her (I don't actually have any misogynist posters. I have a poster of some French alcohol with a shadowy figure. It's really cool/artsy).

9:13 - Brendan Larrabee just said something stupid. Just like every week ( <3>

9:17 - I am thirsty, gonna get some water.

9:21 - How did it take me four minutes to get water?

9:25 - Why are people voting against this, either way it passed.

9:27 - My resolution banning all capital letter emails. This is a lot of fun. Hahah it is getting tabled. This is the fucking funniest shit, can't even describe it.

9:30 - Fuck you Larrabee, fuck your amendment to my resolution.

9:31 - It did not pass :[

9:32 - Jean Kim is introducing a new club, the Food Club.

9:33 - Gonna go cry myself to sleep over my resolution failing.

9:34 - Still depressed over my resolution failing. I think only Becky White supported it.

9:40 - Just stole some of Brendan Larrabee's candy.

9:42 - Still bitter over resolution failing.

9:43 - HOW THE FUCK DID THE ORIOLES LET UP 5 RUNS IN A SINGLE INNING. FALKSDJFGALSGH

9:49 - Food Club did not pass.

9:52 - Point News budget, it passed.

9:53 - Bill about spending 35,000$ to make the Guam Fields usable for field sports. SMUT, Women's Ultimate, softball, soccer, rugby, woman's rugby all use fields, and there just isn't enough room. And the Guam Fields are pretty dangerous/really shitty.

9:59 - Seven senators here have played on SMUT. Feel like that is going to help this pass.

10:04 - But it is really fucking expensive.

10:23 - After a lot of discussion it passed! Club sports!

10:27 - Legislation to give Caroline a new microwave. It passed.

10:32 - Justin Perry just said 'Piggybacking'.

10:33 - Thank you Debbie for telling people to stop saying stupid stuff.

10:39 - Meeting almost over. About to go home and eat a burrito to ease the pain of my resolution not passing. (not actually upset over this btw). May drink myself to sleep.

10:40 - "I'm aight" - Mark Snyder

MEETING OVER GODDAMIT
