SGA gets Ekstrom
hours extended

The Student Government As­sociation
has succeeded in yet an­other
goal - the Ekstrom Library
will extend its service hours this
fall.

Thursday, till midnight, and
Sunday it will open two hours
earlier at 11 a.m.," said
Shunnara.
The extension is on a trial '
basis and furthering the hours
longer or into the spring se­mester
will depend on the
amount of students who uti­lize
the new hours.
Jageman said he did see it as an
opportunity to use the fee for le­verage
to acquire an increase in
student services on campus,
though.
II As the University's desires for
students to contribute (money) es­calated,
I thought this was a fea­sible
concept to make a proposal
that: for an exchange of a student
fee, the University administration
would (have to) address several
service issues,~~ Jageman said.

proposal, benefits stu­dents
would receive for their." fi-

For the past year, the 1998-99
SGA officers have been a voice
for students by trying to convince
the Ekstrom Library to agree to
more hours of operation to meet
the students' needs. Last summer
they began by sending surveys to
students concerning how often
they use the library and how late
they would like to see it open.
"Data was based on the results
from the summer," said Kristie
Shunnara, Vice President of Aca­demics.
"We came to an agree­ment
that basically, it is used
most often in the evenings."
"It's up to the students,"
said Shunnara. "They're going
to tally the number of people
during the extended hours
that use it. If it's packed, they'll
extend the hours, and if it's
dead, they won't."

"After months of contemplating
how everyone could benefit from
a fee I developed a list of action
items that would make a 'facility
fee' more palatable for students,"
Jageman said.
Under Jageman's proposal,
benefits students would receive
include:
"(It) comes out to less than font!:
dollars a game. That is probabl~=~
one of the best rates, not only in~·
the Commonwealth; but in the
conference," he said.
Beginning in the fall semester,
the library hours will be ex­tended
six hours a week.
"On Sundays, there are al­ways
people outside the doors
before we open them," she
said.

SGA plans
-woinen's
conference
and dinner
By Amy Grimes
Staff Writer
The Student Government Association
is planning an event to promote the em­powerment
of women on April15. Stu­dents
and faculty are invited to take part.
"It's a conference for students that in­cludes
a speaker and dinner," said
Kristie Shunnara, SGA academic vice
president. "It's geared towards strate­gies
for success."
The conference will be in the Student
Activities Center's Multipurpose Room
at 5 p.m. The cost is $5 per person.
"We'd like to see faculty sponsor stu­dents
to come, but if they're not spon­sored,
that doesn't mean they can't
come," said Shunnara.
Guest speakers include Carol Garri­son,
the first female provost at the Uni­versity,
and Dee Pregliasco, who shares
partnership in Stove, Pregliasco,
Haynes, Bubba law firm.
"My understanding is that it will
bring women inspiration," said Dee
Pregliasco. "I was a school teacher, di­vorced,
and then I went to law school. I
want to answer their questions."
"(Participants) will hfl,ve to preregister
a week before the conference," said
Bridgette Pregliasco, assistant vice presi­dent
of Student Life. "We plan to get a lot
of word out to· different groups about it."
The idea for the conference was sought
from the University of Richmorid.
. "We're hoping to go there and look
at what they have," said Bridgette
Pregliasco. "They have a different con­ference
for students every month and
we're looking at replicating that here."
