SGA Senate Recap: Nov. 14

By Katherine Blunt

At Thursday night's SGA Senate meeting, a resolution to express sympathy for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan and allocate funds toward disaster relief efforts passed in a unanimous vote. The resolution authorized the executive treasurer to donate $500 of SGA funds to the Red Cross and called upon leaders of campus organizations to donate $5 from their organizational budgets, if possible. Before the vote, several senators questioned whether it was appropriate to use student funds to aid an area that isn't strongly connected to Elon. But Will Galleher, senior class senator, mentioned his experiencing rooming with an Elon student who was from the Philippines. "This is a great cause to stand behind," he said.

By Jessica Leano

[audio wav="http://www.elonpendulum.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Pendulum-K-9s-in-Flight.wav"][/audio] As the holidays approach, Elon students look forward to not just the familiar faces of friends and family, but the excited barking and wagging tails of their canine companions. For students who may be missing their pets at home, the K-9s in Flight exhibition at the North Carolina State Fair gave fairgoers the chance to pet some well-trained rescue dogs and cheer for their long jumps, frisbee catching and flips.
