Senators pass internal proposal

Student government approves lunch event for commuter students.

Christian Leonard, Editor-in-Chief • April 25, 2017

Senators heard one internal proposal and passed it after a brief period of deliberation.

Student Government Association vice president Sam Jackson reminded senators they will discuss open proposals during the next two senate meetings. SGA will then discuss budget proposals in the two meetings following.

Vice president of administrative services Angel Jesudasen noted staff applications for SGA and Student Missionary Union are due on April 24 and encouraged senators to ask students to apply.

SGA will not be meeting the week of spring break. The next meeting will be on April 27 at 3 p.m. in the SGA conference room, located on the upper level of the Student Union Building.

Proposals

Off-campus community senators Leilani Banuelos and Maricel Gibson proposed for $250 to fund a lunch event for commuter students. The event, Pizza on the Patio, will be held near the outdoor Collegium entrance on the last Thursday of the month — April 27 — prior to the weekly senate meeting. They hope this will allow commuter students an easy way to share their opinions with senators before the meeting.

Voting

After voting to have a same-day vote, the senate passed the proposal for Pizza on the Patio in the full amount of $250 with a vote of 12-0-3.

About the Contributor

Christian Leonard, Editor-in-Chief

Christian Leonard is a junior journalism major whose affinity for chickens is really getting out of hand. He can often be found singing in the office, wrapped around a book, or arguing for the classification of cereal as a soup. [email protected] I came to Biola a nervous freshman, not really sure what I wanted to do during my time at university. Years of prayer and waiting seemed fruitless, until an academic counselor recommended I contact the Chimes, since I had shown a modest interest in journalism. I figured it was worth a shot, so I got in touch with the news editors. After a brief chat, I left, figuring I would write for them the following semester. I was assigned my first story a few days later. The following semester, I became a news apprentice, stepping into a full editorship my sophomore year. Through the experience, I gained a greater appreciation for the bustling community that is Biola—its students, its administration, and its culture—and a deeper desire to serve it through storytelling. As my time as news editor drew to a close, I was encouraged to apply for the editor-in-chief position, a prospect which both intimidated and thrilled me. Yet I ultimately saw it as a way to better support the publication through which God showed me His desire for my life. Now, as I oversee the Chimes, I am committed to upholding myself and the newspaper to standard of excellence, and to helping train the next generation of student journalists.
