Well here it is! We have finally put together a blog for the USF Student Association! Loralee, Ashley, and I will be using this blog to keep you the students informed of what is going on with the Student Senate and the campus as a whole.
Tonight is the first meeting of this years Student Senate, tonight the 22 already elected members of the Senate will be meeting the incoming freshman that wish to serve the student body on the USFSA.
Before I post the agenda for tonight, lets update you on what has been going on with USFSA this summer and already this last week.
Firstly, most of you came back may have noticed the situation with our washing machines. This last year our contract with CoinMach (our current provider expired) we were hoping to get a contract with a new company that would allow us to use our Student ID's to pay for washing rather than having to manually feed quarters.....Unfortunately, that wont be happening this year. Student Development informed me that we couldnt make arrangements with another company so we will be using our current on-campus washer and dryers for at least another year. However, the good news from this, is that they WONT be raising our prices, despite what they had posted in our dormatories.
Secondly, anyone that has been through the lower level of the Student Union this week may have noticed that our Pool Table (which we recieved from the gracious Drs. Kevin and Tricia Cole...Thanks, guys.) is broken. This is unfortunate because we thought we had a good deal going with getting a free table. Since we cant replace the stand on it we are going to have to dispose of it. However, not all hope is lost. We will probably end up renting a pool table much like we did last year for the Java City area, it will be a better quality table and the company will upkeep for us at no additonal costs.
Alright.....thats all I can think of now, I'll post anything else of significance that I can remember later.

One last thing, we will (hopefully) be apporving of the appointment of Lauren Strasser to the Student Senate tonight. She was serving as our first alternate for this year, and her appointment to the Senate comes on the fact that Joshua Duncan will not be joining us at USF for this upcoming semester. Strasser was a key member of the Freshman Senate class year, and I am very excited that she will have the chance to join us again this year.
Heres this years membership.....
