The amount of legislation at the Student Government Association meeting on Tuesday was the most that SGA President Johnathon Boles has seen in his four years in SGA.

“Never has there been this much dedication,” Boles said.

Two resolutions were up for second reading at the meeting, and nine others were presented for the first time.

Three pieces of legislation is the most presented at meetings up to this point in the semester.

Boles said legislation sometimes increases toward the end of the semester, but never to this extent.

Committee heads had been working hard for the last several weeks and finished their legislation around the same time, Boles said. That created a surge in the amount of legislation introduced.

Boles said he’s impressed and pleased with the amount of legislation and wants the senators to continue to introduce new bills and resolutions.

Four resolutions passed on Tuesday.

One resolution condemns tagging and other graffiti on campus and in Bowling Green.

Tagging is a contest between two graffiti artists to mark the highest number of public or private properties with graffiti, according to the resolution.

Another resolution opposes a limit on the amount of pages students can print, according to the resolution. The limit was proposed by academic technology.

A poll that SGA put on the Homecoming queen ballot on TopNet found that 70 percent of students would oppose a print limit.

Louisville junior Brittany-Ann Wick, author of all four resolutions that passed Tuesday, said she isn’t against sustainability, but the print limit isn’t a way to achieve it.

“It’s inefficient and not beneficial to students,” she said.

The senate also moved two resolutions from first reading to second reading. The resolutions sponsored professor and adviser of the year awards.

Wick said it was important to pass the resolutions after only one reading so students can go ahead and nominate their professor and advisers for the awards.

The academic affairs committee will choose one professor and adviser from each college for the award, Wick said.

SGA has sponsored the professor of the year award for many years, Boles said.

When the program was first started, a professor was chosen every month, but it was later changed to once a year, Boles said.

The seven pieces of legislation that remained in first reading will be voted on at next week’s meeting.
