At the VSG meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 8, topics of discussion included various events such as a Thanksgiving dinner in Highland Quad, a Halloween party at Carmichael Towers and Poker and Play night on Alumni Lawn. Senator Lori Murphy discussed the upcoming 5K Commodore Trot. Resolutions passed in Senate and presented and passed this week included:

Presentation of Resolution 08-09-10: "House elections Transparency Act"
Presenters: Senator Aziz Malik, Council President John David Furlow
The resolution states that in the past two years, members of House have been elected by plurality vote, whereas VSG resolution specifically states "each house shall select its House President by a majority vote." Therefore, an amendment to Article VIII, Section IV of the Constitution from a "majority" to a "plurality" is encouraged.

Possible upcoming resolutions include increasing card access, faculty posting course syllabi online and improved pre-major advising.

Resolutions compiled by VSG General Secretary Melissa Zhu.
