The Student Governing Association will vote to confirm or deny the appointment to the position of elections commissioner at tonight’s meeting.
The position is a component of the SGA elections process. The commissioner regulates and monitors the campaigns of candidates.
According to Speaker of the Student Senate Amy Schultz, four applicants were interviewed by the three heads of student government: University President Schultz; Student Body President Dalton Henry, senior in agricultural economics, agricultural communications and journalism; and Attorney General Adam Tank, senior in pre-medicine, microbiology and leadership studies, before choosing a candidate to recommend for the position.
Until the student is confirmed by the senate, however, the position is not final.
The Governmental Relations Committee will propose a resolution regarding the City of Manhattan’s current debate on banning the use of cellular devices while driving.
“The committee felt that it would be best for it not to support the overall ban of cell phone devices,” said Danny Unruh, junior majoring in food science and industry and political science.
He said the committee felt it would be better if any ban passed by the city focus more on texting and not voice conversations over cellular devices.
That is the stance of the committee, not SGA has a whole, he said.
