The student government meeting at 7 p.m. today in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union has been combined into a campus-wide open forum in which dissatisfied students may air grievances to their student representatives.

Those who wish to address the student senate can do so during a period of audience participation.

Guest speaker Justin Schuch is scheduled to speak to senate members about planning to accommodate a resource center for members of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community on campus.

Schuch has worked with Mark Olendzki, student vice president for student affairs, toward establishing a center as part of Olendzki’s campaign promise to address portions of the campus population he described as not being “wholly represented.”

Senate members will also examine a resolution to officially honor Eastern’s women’s basketball team, as well as vote on two pieces of old business.

These include the approval of the campus improvement fee increase proposal, as well as reimbursing Ceci Brinker, student government adviser, and Mary Ham, for driving delegates of the Conference on Student Government Associations to the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
