Officer Reports

President Keyana Boka
Last Friday, SGA and the Glasgow student body hosted the Glasgow Middle School on
campus and talked about SGA and civic duties. Thanks for those who helped. Remember
that November 11th is the international quiz bowl in which we are sponsoring 1 mini iPad.
Last week there was a veto on the legislation about the library charging stations which we
will get it sorted out soon. Our priority registration forum with the Provost will be next week. I
wanted to mention that next semester TCNW will be closing down.

Executive Vice President Mark Reeves
I am going to pass around a sheet for Dine with Decision Makers. Please put down your
hometown along with your name. I had another meeting with the university senate and
several issues came up on which I would like your feedback. There is a policy coming up
that will change how students change their major. The policy creates a procedure where
you can't just get on topnet and switch your major. Major changes would be only once a
semester to minimize paperwork, and the major change initiation on topnet would go to
advisor and other administration to get in contact with you to make sure you had a new
advisor. Also, there are a series of new IT policies IT series dealing with privacy. I will be
registering these policies with the chair of university senate.

Administrative Vice President Nicki Seay
Org Aid updates: Ross Nowland as vice chair, also the notice of exec veto was simply a
formality because the amendments were not clear. It does not reflect our opinion, just to
make things clear.

Speaker of the Senate Paige Settles
Remember that we will be having our South Campus meeting soon. The veto opinion is
attached in your agenda and the bill will be put back into first read this coming week.
