Semester ends with very little done in SGA

Chalk up one more failure for the SGA. The December meeting for the student assembly was canceled due to an expected low turnout.

When will this joke of an organization get its act together? As a group it can't function which hurts all the branches of student government. It is said that the Student Courts can't function and are having a horrible time handling student appeals. This is inexcusable. Something must be done and done quickly.

As a group SGA has done nothing. Sure, there was the major media hype surrounding the Darwin Butler fiasco, and it got everyone interested, but the hype only lasted so long as a month later it was back to normal with many of the student reps electing to be absent. What has SGA accomplished this year? A lot of paper work and a lot of hype.

This isn't to say that everyone in the student assembly has failed in his or her duties-there are quite a few members who attend the meetings and genuinely want to get things accomplished. Yet, there are enough less dedicated people in the group to hold everyone back.

The first semester will end on a sour note, not like it has ever been going good. The second semester needs to make up for it. Things need to be done and quickly. The SGA needs to have a student-elected president and vice president in office. Quorums need to be reached regularly and things need to get done. If not, this year will have been a waste of everyone's time.
