Student Council report

by LAUREN STOKES, EDITOR EMERITUS | January 31, 2007

From this week forward, the Daily Gazette will be providing a brief summary of the events at the Student Council meeting as a service to our readers. We hope that this summary will keep students informed about the work Student Council is doing and that it will keep Student Council open and accountable to the students it represents.

At this week's Student Council meeting, the council discussed the upcoming Vice-Presidential election. Declarations for the position are due Monday, February 5th. Platforms will appear in the Daily Gazette on Tuesday, February 6th, and a Vice-Presidential Candidate 'Fireside Forum' will be held that night at 9 PM in the Scheuer Room. Sharples voting will take place Monday February 12th and Tuesday February 13th.

Also discussed were methods by which to increase Council's transparency. Proposals included a monthly newsletter summarizing the organization's activities, a link to each week's minutes sent in an e-mail, and a summary of each meeting in the following day's edition of the Daily Gazette.

Swat Contracts with Security Firm AlliedBarton

At the beginning of this semester, two new security guards began patrolling campus during the 9:00pm to 3:30am shift. These guards are employed by AlliedBarton, a security firm that was contracted by the college to provide additional nighttime security; however, their presence has also led students to examine AlliedBarton’s disputed labor policies.
