COLLEGIANNEWS.COM Alpharetta A fling for spring
By Mallory Blount Collegian Staff
SGA didn’t have quorum at their meeting
on Friday, March 31 because there were not enough voting members present. Despite the obstacle many ideas were shared and plans set in stone. Te biggest item on SGA’s agenda is the
upcoming Spring Fling. Spring Fling is a week of festivities from April 16-19. With events set for each day, the week is supposed to be the last hoorah before the semester ends. For
a couple of months now SGA members have been juggling the idea of
renting dunk tanks for one of the events of Spring Fling. Tese dunk tanks would be set up on campus and would house compliant professors who are not afraid to get wet. Get ready Alpharetta students, local hero and SGA member Conor Cooper has been negotiating to get four dunk tanks for those who seek revenge on a professor for that undeserved D+. Another event that has been in the mill
for a while now is an Open Mic on campus. Te event would feature a DJ and would be open to anyone who would like to sing, dance, recite, snap, chant, or even yodel. Tis event will be open to the public and is a way to let Alpharetta students be heard.

Several clubs went before the Alpharetta
Student Government Association requesting budget funds for the next fiscal year on March 23, at 11 a.m. Te forum was supposed to end at 1 p.m., but ended up being extended until late that afternoon. “We had a bunch of money requested
that we couldn’t allocate,” Jake Hutchinson, vice president of the SGA, explained. Among the groups requesting funds for
the following year was the Juntos Club, Honors Program, and the Health, Wellness
and Recreation program. Dean Nash
presented the proposed
budgets for eight different groups including the Student Life program, SGA administration, and various branches of JAG. Despite the fact that he was representing
so many different organizations, Dean Nash made it clear that he did not take his role lightly. “All eight of these things pertain exclusively to Alpharetta,” he said. “[Te funds] won’t be going anywhere else.” About the controversial fact that SGA has to approve a budget for their own organization Shrena Jenkins, an SGA participant, asserted, “We tried not to be biased. We were fair across the board.”
