Following a controversial election, newly elected Student Government President Chelsee Pike conducted the first forum of the 2013-2014 school year. On Aug. 22 at 12:30 p.m. in the recreation center’s multipurpose room, Pike started the forum with a thank you speech directed towards the representatives and students for their continued support of SGA. The forum proceeded with President Mescon welcoming back the SGA representatives and encouraging the students to continue to voice their concerns. “I’m so very proud of the progress with student government over the past five years. Many of our acts are possible because of your involvement,” said Mescon. The executive board followed with a concise introduction and a few announcements. Overall, the forum was brief and organized. Kemi Faderin, representative for African Student Organization, said, “The first meeting was great. It was precise and straight to the point, as I liked. They seemed organized so I hope the former continues throughout the school year.” Get to know your SGA Executive Board:

Cougar Kickoff Screen on the Not-so-Green
The Dark Knight Rises moved inside
Although faced with a possible setback because of the weather on Wednesday, Aug. 21, The Cougar Kickoff Committee’s event went on without a hitch. Hours before the event, as rain loomed, the committee made an impromptu decision to move their Screen on the Green from Woodruff Park on the RiverPark campus to the multipurpose room of the recreation center on Main Campus. In the works since last semester, the event involved Swank, a movie rights company that allowed CSU to rent the movie “The Dark Knight Rises” for about $550. For some it may seem a hefty price, but compared to movies that have recently been released it is cheap. Newer movies tend to be more expensive to rent. Aft \??] [?? H ?Y? ? ? ???
