At this week’s Student Government Association meeting, Six Flags College Night was a notable topic of discussion.
Vice President of SGA, DeChino Duke, has been hard at work at getting the word out about tickets that are being sold for this spring’s event which will be held on April 5 from 7 p.m. until midnight. Students, faculty, administration, and alumni of KSU are invited to College Night, including friends and family of KSU affiliates.
Tickets will be sold at $26, noticeably cheaper than the average ticket price of $56 per person. Season passes are even decreased from $64 to $29 if purchased at the gate. Other schools such as University of West Georgia, West Georgia Tech, and Clark Atlanta University will also be participating. Duke expressed that “all the big rides will be available” if at least 3,000 tickets are sold.
Some details about the evening are still developing, but there will be many promotional events and chances to win free tickets throughout this semester. Email Duke at vpduke@ksusga.com for more information.
In other news: A heated discussion took place regarding if an appeals process should be created for those who are rejected when seeking an SGA position It is the duty of the SGA president to admit students into the organization, and some students who are not hired may find their rejection to be unfair. Many SGA members thought an appeals process would be a useful, while others thought it unnecessary.
SGA president Rosalyn Hedgepeth seemed to be on the opposing side: “If you don’t align with my vision, I don’t want you on my committee,” she stated.
A decision on whether the rule will be implemented will be made in the future.
The African Student Association is preparing for Africa Night. The event will be held on March 30, and the association is searching for actors, models, vendors, and dancers who are willing to perform in the program.
Jasmine Harris, SGA secretary and ASA member, says the night is expected to be very enjoyable, also with the purpose of helping others “learn and appreciate African culture.” To get involved, contact Harris at jah9691@yahoo.com.
