At the Vanderbilt Student Government meeting on Wednesday, several orders of business were addressed and events updated.

Senators held a round of discussion regarding first-year students’ and upperclassmen meal plans, some advocating the fourth meal and some against the no rollover policy. Discussion then led to parking and debate over whether faculty members should create disincentives for students bringing cars on campus.
