Alex Wilson, SGA President, invited me to attend this past Friday’s meeting of the registration committee (we have committees for most things, it turns out) where I was treated to a delightful pre-Thanksgiving feast of student leadership featuring Gregh Frye (Robert Plant look alike who heads up a group he affectionately refers to as the “Nontrads”), Phillip Masengill (former SGA President and current VP), and Brittany Sturgill (current member of my
Leadership 321 class and future “whatever she sets her mind to be”). I found the issue less cut and dried (athletes really do need to work classes around practice and athletic contests, but then many other students have to work classes in around work) than I first thought, but the students present argued eloquently for the current system of earlier registration times based on hours completed.
The committee voted against athlete priority, but it will be discussed again at the Dec 1st SGA meeting, so I guess it is somehow, not dead.
