Two resolutions will be presented at today’s student government meeting.

Student Senate Speaker Zach Samples, a sophomore history major, said one resolution that will be discussed at the meeting is whether they support having electronic billboards on campus.

Peter Zizzo, a student senate member and sophomore mathematics major, said he is not sure which way he is going to vote regarding the electronic billboards.

“I don’t mind (the boards), but I don’t see any true benefit,” Zizzo said.

He said that for the past two weeks, he has been discussing the electronic billboards with students in order to best represent their views.

Tommy Neirman, a student senate member and a senior management major, is one of the authors of the resolution regarding the electronic billboards.

Neirman said the resolution took a week and a half to put together and he used “the power of Facebook” to promote a survey he co-created.

He said more than 100 people responded to the survey and that the vast majority of students were in favor of the billboards.

For the second resolution, the student senators will vote on whether the senators want to change the location of their meetings to the residence halls, which is titled the “Senate on the Road” program.

Jenna Mitchell, a student senate member, said she is setting up a booth with the Student Outreach Committee today at the University Food Court in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to hear students’ opinions on the various resolution topics to be presented at the meeting.

“We really want students to know what we do and what student government is about,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell said she is in favor of the “Student on the Road” program because she feels the program is another good way to reach out to students.

Mitchell also said she hopes the program will help students come to the student government meetings so they can voice their opinions.
