Student Government Association has created a new executive treasury position, seeking to ease the load of dealing with finances within Events Council.

Junior Amy Morris and senior Chad Byers, the vice presidents of on and off-campus events, appointed junior Aaron Hunt to the unofficial position of Events Council treasurer at the beginning of  spring semester.

The new position will not be official unless senate amends the SGA constitution by the end of the semester.

According to Morris, this semester is a trial run to test the effectiveness of the office.

Events Council spends more money than class SGAs, according to Morris.  Previously, the administrative assistant or a class vice president has handled the finances of events council, but the task is not officially assigned to anyone.

According to Hunt, the position is similar to the other offices of Events Council because he helps plan events and share ideas for implementing events. However, the treasurer is different because he runs the budget, gives reports to the vice presidents of on and off-campus events and turns in receipts to reimburse students who purchase items for events.

Because Events Council has been planning more events than in past years, members of SGA decided to add a treasurer position to take care of the money and function as an extra hand, said Morris.

So far, Hunt has been involved in the planning of the Talent Show, Barbarian Wars and the Midnight Cruise.

According to Morris, the position may become the third executive office purposely filled by appointment. The vice presidents of on and off-campus events will appoint a student to fill the position next year if the trial is effective.

“SGA is more than a bunch of people who sit around a room and discuss issues of the school; it is people who are proactive about the school and have a passion for the students,” said junior Allison Young, student body president-elect.

“Servanthood through leadership” is Young’s vision for SGA next year.

Young’s biggest passion is volleyball. She is co-captain of the Bryan volleyball team and has been to several European countries including Austria and the Czech Republic to compete

She likes to spend her free time reading, playing Wii Sport and Rockband. Her favorite book is “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers.

What defines talent? Is it a natural ability? A unique quirk? A practiced skill? Or, is it the ability to evoke laughter for the purpose of drawing together a group of people?

Saturday night, the Freshman Class held auditions for the annual Freshman Talent Show, which is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.

“We wanted to start auditions early so we would have time to get all the technical issues worked out– make sure CDs are in the right format, mics are hooked up properly, jacks for guitars are correct, etc.,” said Freshman Vice President Amy Morris.

“You never know what might come up, and we want to have time to deal with anything.”

As of the Saturday auditions, there are 18 acts scheduled to perform in the show. Read full story »
