Poll on campus issues proves inconclusive

After the work study and breakfast poll closed at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Student Council convened for an emergency meeting to discuss the results.

According to an e-mail to the student body from Vice President Deivid Rojas ’11, survey results regarding StuCo payment were close, and the data proved inconclusive.

The question will be posed to students again as a referendum on the upcoming ballot.

The issue of offering breakfast on Sundays was largely supported in the survey. StuCo plans to talk with the Dining Services Committee about these results, Rojas said in the e-mail.

Meeting with President

At their Sunday meeting, all of the StuCo members agreed that a Friday meeting with the Board of Managers, the possibility of Sunday breakfast and endorsement of the Dream Act should be on the agenda for their Wednesday meeting with President Rebecca Chopp.

After the Wednesday meeting, president Rachel Bell ’10 said that Chopp seems to be in support of the Dream Act.

During the meeting Chopp also suggested that StuCO consult Stu Hain, Associate Vice President for Facilities and Services, on the issue of beginning a Sunday morning breakfast.

Bike Share

The Bike Share program will be up and running by this weekend or at the beginning of next week.

“The locks that were donated to us are combination locks, this complicates the ‘checking out’ bike process,” Rojas said in an e-mail. “We are looking into getting key locks instead.”

McCabe, which will be handling the checkout system, is currently processing necessary information and materials, such as keys, bikes and helmets.

SBC and shuttles

The SBC budget was approved unanimously. President Rachel Bell ’10 and Student Groups Advisor Ben Francis ’12 were not present.

Van Co-Coordinator Sophia Naylor ’13 attended the meeting. Naylor, who is in charge of the King of Prussia and Media shuttles, said that the shuttles have had difficulty this year due to “a lot of miscommunication” and because “it’s been a lot of figuring things out.” Naylor said that the movie, Target and ML shuttles, however, have been running more smoothly.

Naylor said that she received no training prior to taking the position, but is working to create a manual for next van coordinator to ensure processes run more smoothly in the future. Rojas recommended that the manual creation process be mandatory for each SBC position, and SBC Manager Simon Zhu ’11 said that this could be included in the contract.

Upcoming StuCo events

StuCo will be hosting a Parlour Party this Saturday both for fun and for students to learn about various StuCo positions.

The Parlour Party will run from 1 to 5 p.m., and StuCo members will be available to talk between 1 and 3 p.m. The Parlour Party will be held outside of McCabe Library and will include snacks, drinks, bubbles, beach balls and a music playlist by Luis Peñate ’13.

On May 2, StuCo will host a double-feature movie night on Parrish Beach from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m.

The theme will be “Anywhere But Here,” and potential movie choices include “Up,” “The Wiz,” “Pan’s Labyrinth,” “Where the Wild Things Are,” and Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.” Dippin’ Dots and popcorn will be available.

StuCo will also have a Ride the Tide event on Thursday from 9-10 p.m.
