Talking To The Cops

profile picture!

Most of the conversations I have with Campus Safety officers are pretty short, usually revolve around me dumping out my beer and rarely end in mutual respect and understanding. Most of that will hopefully change tonight when I attend “Student Conversation with Campus Safety” in Davis at 8:30pm.

This is your chance to eat cookies and ask Director of Campus Safety Dennis Conway and Dean Rochelle Calhoun some questions. Maybe you’re environmentally insensitive and think we need more parking lots on campus? Maybe you’re wondering why some kids get written up for parties and some kids don’t? Maybe you’re interested in knowing what sort of training these guys go through to become Campus Safety officers? Maybe you’re wondering why nobody was checking bags at Moorebid but you can’t walk through Northwoods with a Yuengling without catching trouble? Maybe you want to know why the college doesn’t allow bands to play at on campus parties? Maybe you want free cookies? Whatever dude.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

Monday, October 12th, 2009

SGA representative Ali Drucker ’11 writes in to let us all know about some goofy little website called Daily Jolt:

Want to advertise a club event? Want to get more people at your sports events? How about a forum for text book exchanges or an electronic ride board? Then you should probably check out skidmore.dailyjolt.com! A new interactive forum for students to advertise and talk about what’s going on at Skidmore. Anybody with a Skidmore email can join and start posting events or make their own personal event calendar. Get connected and never spend another night on campus without something to do. Get the word out about what you’re doing because hey, SkidmoreUnofficial doesn’t have time to profile every event…

SGA Voting, Candidates and Proposed Amendment

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Yesterday on my way into D-Hall I was surprised to see another table set up for SGA voting. After a quick email exchange with SGA policy analyst Annie Bruckner ’11 I’ve learned quite a bit. Turns out SGA splits voting into 3 rounds. The 3rd round of voting began yesterday at noon and runs through Friday, vote online HERE.

The first is to fill in vacant positions from the end of the fall semester/beginning of the spring semester (some people resign or go abroad).  The second is for all the executive committee positions (SGA President, SGA Vice Presidents) and hall council positions (Presidents and Vice Presidents).  The third is for senators-at-large, class council positions, Speakers Bureau Chair, Traditions Chair, and any vacant positions.

SGA divides the elections for next year’s governing body into two rounds to give those who run for Executive Committee a chance to run for class council positions, which are part of Executive Board.

Keep reading for a list of candidates and a quick explanation of the proposed SGA constitutional amendment.

Changes To Parking Court

Monday, March 16th, 2009

SGA President Jacqueline Shydlowski ‘09 just sent around an email about some changes to SGA’s Parking Court. Instead of holding (monthly? weekly? whatever) hearings, SGA will now exclusively review appeals online. More importantly, if you would like to appeal a parking ticket received last semester you must submit an appeal online before 4:30pm on Friday (3/20)–EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED A PAPER APPEAL. Only electronic appeals will be considered from now on. THE FUTURE IS NOW.

More information and a link to the appeal form is available here.

School Sponsored Internet Fun Time

Although they’re sparsely populated, these Skidmore-run forums seem like the perfect answer to requests for an accountable place to sell things and find ride information. If you prefer anonymous dating advice, endearing missed connections, and poor spelling, stick with us.
