On the day when the 2001-02 Board of Governance officially handed the reins of student government to the new board, it was business as usual in Haggar Student Center. BOG agreed to co-sponsor two events, one for Flipside, and another for the senior class.
"We have a dance coming up on April 6," Shannon Maloney, Saint Mary's Flipside representative, told BOG. "Our funds are running low. We want to have more events at Saint Mary's, and we are hoping BOG could help us out."
Flipside will be hosting a toga party in Haggar Parlor, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The $350 BOG agreed to donate will go to purchase a keg of root beer, among other things.
"I think it's a great idea," Erin Casey, BOG's representative to Notre Dame's Student Senate, said.
Meghan Meyer, the president of this year's senior class, also came forward asking BOG to co-sponsor a concert at Alumni-Senior Club for Saint Mary's seniors and seniors at Notre Dame.
"Senior Board is bringing Cupajo to Senior Bar," Meyer said. "We do have money now, but we need to save some for senior week."
The concert is free and will be held on April 13, although cover will be charged. BOG agreed to donate $600 to the senior class to help defray the costs of bringing the band to campus. In her last presentation to BOG as student body president, Nagle encouraged BOG members and the rest of the student body to participate in the Center for Women's Intercultural Leadership's Intercultural Living Experience program, living with students of different ethnic backgrounds starting next year. Saint Mary's Leadership Commission ceremony will be held on April 29, at either 7 p.m. or 7:30 pm. Nagle also thanked BOG and the student body for their participation in Midnight Madness.
"I was very proud of that night," Nagle said.
Elizabeth Jablonski-Diehl, student body vice-president-elect, and outgoing sophomore class president, made a report from the committee currently studying security on Saint Mary's campus.
"I encourage calling security whenever you see suspicious people on campus or in the dorms," Jablonski-Diehl said. "Construction workers should not be in any buildings on campus. Please spread this to your friends. Security will be able to come and take care of it."
