Student government members set aside an hour before the last senate meeting to answer questions and address student concerns.

Nobody showed up.

After the success of the first student government town hall meeting Feb. 9, Public Relations Chair Debra Jaime said holding regular forums before Friday senate meetings would be beneficial to the university and give students the opportunity to express their feelings on campus issues.

According to Student Body President Phil Gersman, the lack of student turnout was most likely due to spring break.

At the senate meeting March 9, it was announced that the Student Life Advisory Board and the University Center Board could become one organization, the Campus Activities Board, at the end of the semester.

Program requests of $8,359 to the Delta Sigma Theta sorority for its Eighth Annual Comedy Show Extravaganza and $4,985 to the Black Student Association for the Carter G. Woodson Commemorative Celebration were unanimously approved.
