SGA approves funds for dorm upgrades

The Student Government Association approved $4,500 in upgrades for the campus dorms.

The proposal includes four LCD televisions, five DVD players, four surge protectors and two printers for Stella Russell Hall, Elizabeth Hall and the Wesleyan Village Clubhouse.

“This proposal looks pretty good,” said Nicholas Demetre, representative for school of natural and social science. “The students are the reason why we’re here. This would help them bond together.”

The proposal passed SGA 10 to 1, but there was concern expressed over how the new items would be protected.

“We believe that when we start putting nicer things in the dorms, we shouldn’t have to worry about anyone walking away with them,” said SGA President Heath Scott.

The goal of the proposal is to create a better environment for socialization as well as homework.

“My goal for this is to build individual homework stations so that when students walk in, they can print stuff off and not have that hassle of walking all the way to the library,” Scott said.

IT supplied three new computers for the effort, and two of them are already set up in Stella.
“Stella is going to have two homework stations; Elizabeth is going to have one, and all of the TVs will be going in the main lobbies,” Scott said.

The second and third floor of Stella will receive smaller televisions, he said.

“It is my firm belief that a lot of students that live in these dormitories will be most grateful for the actions we have just taken,” Scott said.
