SGA Meeting this week is gonna be super short
8:07 - Meeting has begun
8:15 - A guy (not Guy) is here talking about his SMP for student speakout. I don't care. This kid is really awkward. Okay he has given up on explaining his SMP because he isn't really sure. Okay now he is again trying again to explain it. Something about restoring a barn in historic and doing stuff with it. I think he is asking us money. Fuck this shit. I don't care about barns.
8:22 - blah blah blah, I don't see why the SGA should fund this.
8:25 - What the fuck he wants 20k from us to make this barn. I don't see how this shit will benefit students, or why students would want their money going towards this.
EDIT: Guy Kilpatric responds to defend the barn! He makes some excellent points.
The reason the barn is important, is because it is one of few remaining nineteenth-century tobacco barns. It's a lasting remnant of pre-modernized St. Mary's County. I think it's relationship to St. Mary's College is tied to the land. Which is another important reason for the barn's restoration.
Martin probably mentioned the potentiality of initiating a campus farm in conjunction with the use of the restored barn. Starting a campus farm at St. Mary's College would be an important step toward the College's goal of sustainability. There are a few different organizations coming from the position that this would be a good thing. As president of the Community Garden Club, I too support this, and I am working closely with Martin and others to accomplish this project within the best interests of the students, the college, and the surrounding community. I believe the barn is a great opportunity for the students to explore our local geography and culture.
8:30 - Tess Wier is here to talk about the Anti-Vandalism march.
8:32 - Marlena is here to talk about the First Responders Network. They try to stop sexual assault, woo! You should add 301-904-2015 to your phone, because this is their number you can call 24/7 for advice and help and such about sexual assault.
8:35 - 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men will be sexually assaulted. Also 75%+ rapes are date rapes, so watch your dranks!
8:38 - Holy shit, when Marlena makes percentage signs, she uses dots instead of circles!
8:40 - Most common date rape drug is...alcohol! This makes a lot of sense. You really should make sure you don't drink too much and stuff. Like, I think trying to keep track of how many units of alcohol you have consumed is difficult, but a great way to avoid puking and rape and hangovers.
EDIT: I would like to say that rape is never the victims fault. Never
8:56 - People complaining about the soda and snack machines not working.
9:00 - Holy shit Dean Bayless just said Grab and Go might get closed
9:01 - What the fuck are Night Hawks. Some program where students went on patrol.
Meeting over!
I really don't get the Campus Store. I'm talking about their selling Windows 7 for 117$. It's like, do they not realize that anyone with a .edu email address (which is probably 98% of the people reading this) can get it for only 30 bucks.
