Associated Student Government has been keeping busy this semester with many exciting and enriching opportunities for Texas State students to contribute to their community and school. Kyle Morris was recently sworn in as Texas State’s newest student liaison to the San Marcos City Council. The liaison represents the interests of the student body to the council and vice-versa. Morris looks forward to working with the students and the council to establish a productive dialogue that benefits all of San Marcos. ASG is also sending representatives to sit on a commission formed by the mayor of Austin to represent the interests of Central Texas students and the Council of Neighborhood Organizations. ASG has passed legislation that would encourage the university to establish a multicultural and gender studies requirement. This would be one of the three writing-intensive courses the university currently requires. This is not a new course, though. There are currently several courses offered that would fulfill this request. Currently AGS is working with the communication studies department to label COMM 1310, Fundamentals of Human Communication, as the first of these multicultural and gender studies options. ASG is also working to extend the Thanksgiving holiday to a full week and designate it a fall/winter break. This would be similar to the current Spring Break and would make the semesters even. Next week, ASG will consider legislation that would ask the senate to oppose Proposition 2 for the Texas Constitution. This would limit marriage to one man and one woman. We invite all points of view and encourage you to come to our meetings at 7 p.m. Monday at the LBJ Student Center, Room 3-14.1. — Courtesy of ASG
