The Student Government Association elected next semester’s speaker of the senate at its meeting on Tuesday.

Louisville sophomore Wade Pierce, an SGA senator, was elected speaker.

He said his goals for next semester are making sure more legislation gets written and encouraging senators to be active.

Curly, Larry, Moe, Shadrach, Meshach and “A Bilie Goat” found a home that isn’t a stomach with 3-year-old Carrington Coppinger on Friday.

“Mommy feeds them way too much food,”she said with a giggle.

Carrington’s mother, Kelley Coppinger, an advertising professional-in-residence at Western, was given seven goldfish by one of her students who’s a member of Delta Tau Delta.

Legislation at the Student Government Association meeting dealt with extending benefits and opening doors.

SGA passed a resolution supporting domestic partner benefits at Western and a bill to install an automatic door opener on campus at its meeting Tuesday.

The University Senate passed two resolutions and voted for new executive members at its meeting on Thursday.

Senate members want tenure to be restored for Kentucky Community and Technical College System faculty members and they want more Western faculty to be able to vote for faculty regent.
