CLIFF HANGERS
Contestants look at three small prizes and have to guess the retail price, one at a time. For each dollar they are off, a yodeling mountain climber figure moves up a step on a 25-step mountain game board with a cliff at the top. If the mountain climber is still on the board after guessing all three prices, the contestant wins. PLINKO
The object of this game is to guess the retail price of four items and win chips. The contestant receives one chip at the start of the game, so they can get up to five. The chips are then used on the pegboard to fall into one of nine spaces at the bottom labeled with money. The contestant wins the money and will continue to drop the chips down the board. At the most, the contestant can win $50,000. For more games, see page 4

SGA GREEK LIFE BILL STILL OPTION Members of Student Government Association will reexamine a co-sponsorship bill that requests $6,000 for Greek Life organizations at their meeting Wednesday. During the SGA meeting Oct. 16, Jacob Cash and Jonathan Wolfschlag, SGA senators, introduced the Greek Life Co-Sponsorship Allocation bill, which called to include money earmarked for Greek Life organizations in future SGA budgets. Senators decided to send the bill to the co-sponsorship committee for discussion instead of taking a final vote. Chris Taylor, SGA deputy chief of staff, said the bill is still on the table. He said the senators may choose to change or hold the bill instead of take a final vote next week. “We’re waiting to bring it to a vote,” Taylor said. “[We have] one more meeting to discuss it and see if anything will be changed as it is written now.” Taylor said if the bill is passed, it will resemble a similar guarantee of funds the Big Four multicultural organizations receive from SGA. The Black Student Association, the Asian American Student Association, the Latino Student Union and Spectrum each receive $1,000 for co-sponsorship funds yearly. “It’s more of a guarantee,” Taylor said. “You do have this much from SGA. It’s not a direct deposit through account, but you know those funds are available.” – STAFF REPORTS
Free speech policy intentionally open University’s priority to ensure students, faculty can function |
SAM HOYT CHIEF REPORTER sthoyt@bsu.edu
The gray areas in university policies regarding protests are minimal but intentional, said an administrator involved in policy development. The policy was brought into question when Missionaries to the Preborn, an anti-abortion organization, protested on campus Oct. 9. Lynda Wiley, assistant to the vice president for student affairs, said the policy for holding signs is clear, but it’s still vague enough to allow the university room to decide what is best for students.
“We have the obligation and the responsibility to say we can dictate some parameters,” she said. “Not to lessen the [freedom of] speech, but to make sure students can go to class and that we can conduct business as we need to.” Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities, was one of the administrators to work with the protesters. He said some of the problems the university had were because one of the policies is new. The policy regarding demonstrations on campus, Appendix N — Use of University Property for Expressive Activity, is less than a year old. “Since this ... policy was developed last year, we really didn’t have a separate policy for it,” Kenyon said Oct. 9. “It was sort of a paragraph in the student rights manual.
