Happy holidays all- hope you had a lovely turkey day.

This week, SGA is having cocktail- so all members get to bring a date to the bon temp wednesday night to celebrate a semester of hard work!

Other than that, there isn't much news. There's a meeting tonight....

I'll update after that.

the funny thing about contingency days is....

So we had this big day of activity on Friday.

We officially opened the game tables in the OR lounge. to get the tools of the trade (fooseballs, or pool cues and balls, etc.) you just have to stop by the sga office (noon-4pm) or the Student Activities office (4pm-?). It doesn't cost anything to rent the stuff. But we will need to borrow your id.

We had a casual ribbon-cutting, and then gave away free pizza and soft drinks to the general student body.

We also launched the SGA helpline, and gave away magnets with the helpline number. If you still want a magnet, no worries- we still have a few hundred. But there are a limited number. Better come claim them quickly- i imagine that they will become a hot commodity. Their rarity will cause a transition in which they become more highly valued than money. This will probably blossom into an sga-helpline-magnet fueled black market. The only question: how many magnets will it cost to buy a kidney? I suspect between 7-34, based on the current standard and the expected inflation the magnets will cause in the market. But i digress...

We also wanted to hype our new and improved website and variety of online schmata, like the facebook membership, and this here blog.

So what do you think? Did it work?

Have you even read this? Hello? Am I all alone out here in cyberland?

Let me know what you think. post a comment...please. please?

Happy weekend

next year's tuition! hot news!

Fast breaking news: this happened just a couple minutes ago. Thought you guys should be the first to know

University Budget committee voted today on the decision on the recommendation they will make to Fr. Wildes concerning tuition increase. By a very close vote (12 to 11) it was decided that tuition should increase 6% for next year. This is below average for other schools of our size.

There was a long debate about this in previous meetings, wether 6% was too much of too little, The proposals ranged from 0% to 9%, with 6% narrowly being approved.

okay- i'll keep you posed on any other news.

Do the SGA 3 Step

Happy friday, all.

so what can i promise you in the coming week? let's see:

brand new website feature: 3-step procedures on the sga website, www.loyno.edu/sga. This is where you'd go to find out how to do everything sga-ish, and maybe some things not so sga-ish. Think of it as a creative spin on faq. That's frequently asked questions, for those who are confused.

But what can are tagline be? so simple a caveman could do it! Hmm...i feel like it's been done. And it's late afternoon on friday. I'm leaving

anybody got any ideas?
