According to the first resolution, a computer lab with printers and a small study area would be open 24 hours a day Sunday through Thursday throughout the fall and spring semesters.
The lab would be located in the Student Union where the Student Fitness Club is, once the Student Fitness Club is moved into the future Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The space is expected to become available once the center opens in the spring 2010 semester.
Senators did not debate the 24-hour computer lab issue or question the presenter of the resolution, Chief-of-staff John-Scott Carroll.
The second resolution stated that speed bumps and/or stop signs would be placed throughout the NorthPark Quads parking lot.
Adrian Everett, the College of Science and Mathematics senator, presented the resolution.
Carroll said specific locations for the stop signs or speed bumps have not yet been decided.
Three senators offered pro debates in favor of the second resolution: one senator debated the con.
He said, although he was for the resolution, some of his constituents said they were concerned with the speed bumps "tearing up their cars."
"I think it is in the best welfare for the student body that both resolutions are passed," SGA President Ryan Beaird said before the meeting was called to order.
Members of the SGA said they are hoping to get their plan for the computer lab approved before anyone else claims the Fitness Club for another purpose.
Beaird will present Friday morning the resolutions to Rick Stripling, vice chancellor for student affairs, who serves as a liaison between the SGA and the university administration.
Stripling will then present the resolutions to the other administrators and to Chancellor Robert Potts, who will make the final decision on whether or not to approve them.
"The whole time we will be on the administration's back," Beaird said Wednesday about the process.
Beaird said the decision would ultimately come down to whether or not the administration thinks the proposals are economically feasible, and if they say no, the SGA plans to "find another route."
Also at the meeting, the SGA opted not to immediately fill the open College of Education senate seat.
