The Senate meeting of the Student Government Association, Sept.30 highlighted two new orders of business.
The more important of the two new orders of business came in the form of an appointment of Christy Cameron as the 2013-2014 Vice President of the student council for the College of Architecture, Design, and Construction. Cameron, a junior in Industrial design, met no opposition at the Senate meeting, allowing her to fill the empty CADC position.
The second order of business on the student senate agenda was a resolution in appreciation of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for the grant to Auburn University. The resolution passed with no resistance from Senate members.
The $84,505 grant, made possible through the Solid Wastes and Recyclable Materials Management Act, was awarded to Auburn's Waste Reduction and Recycling Department. The grant will support the purchase of recycling bins and other equipment that will create a more convenient recycling environment for the University community.
Next week, the student senate is set to discuss a resolution supporting the addition of blue emergency lights in the Caroline Draughon Village residential areas and parking lots.
The Blue emergency poles, which light up Auburn's campus, allow students to call for a security shuttle or to contact 911 in case of an emergency.
