Departmental Executive Committees One of the greatest steps that LSA student government can take is to allow students more input into their specific departments. That is why we feel it is so important to open up more Departmental Executive Committees to students. Currently, at least two departments allow students to sit on their committees, Political Science, which has done so for a few years now, and Physics, which is a recent accomplishment. We plan to work with the Departmental Student Clubs Network, a system set up by our Presidential candidate Jeff Harris, to open up as many executive committees as possible to students. Fall Break Fall Break is an idea whose time has come on this campus.
Students can be much more effective and happy with a break in their first semester.
The plan that SP is putting forward is a plan we believe is the most reasonable offer for the administration to accept. We would like to see the three days before Thanksgiving taken off of the calendar and placed at the beginning of the year. We believe that starting a few days before Labor Day would be an acceptable alternative to actually adding five days to Thanksgiving break. Since attendance is so low prior to break as is, this plan seems like a smart idea. Teachers could make much better use of classes earlier in the year that are more highly attended.
