resolution
SGA seeks
to inform students about campus safety
The Student Government Association approved a resolution Monday night encouraging the use of campus blue lights and Night Rides. Dearborn freshman Sam Carter, SGA senator, said he created the resolution because of the safety issues on college campuses nationally. Safety also is a recruiting tool, he said. "I think it's the university's responsibility to tell parents about campus safety," Carter said. The resolution requests the Central Michigan University Police and Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates advertise during campus community life orientation. In addition, it requests both Night Rides and blue lights to be included into campus ambassadors' handbooks to use when giving campus tours to prospective students. The resolution was initially introduced Oct. 15, but was sent back to the Student Services Committee to further verify statistics and add depth to its research. Carter said he is proud of what SGA has accomplished with this resolution. "It wasn't a huge issue, but we don't have to deal with those all the time," he said. "We found this issue before it became a big issue."
Pudding pies and
piñatas
Pre-game event
to pump up campus
A field day will take place Friday in front of the Bovee University Center, said Pleasant Ridge and SGA traditions and spirit co-chair Sophomore Samantha Wunderlich. The event is scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. Activities will include a pudding pie eating contest, tug of war, sack races, an egg toss and a piñata. "We just want to pep people up for the game in a non-tailgate way," Wunderlich said. The idea behind the event is to allow CMU students to compete against Eastern Michigan University students and increase school spirit before the game at 7 p.m. in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
Holiday Jubilee 2007

Activities will vary during the week, but will include things such as crafts and holiday food samplings. Any student who participates in the event can attend the Yule Ball, a culmination dance, at the end of the week. The allocated funds will primarily be used to purchase food for the event.
