Amid the final days of classes and the stress over approaching final exams, Temple Student Government held their final General Assembly meeting on Monday.

The meeting provided a summation of the work TSG had accomplished during the fall semester and a small preview into spring semester.

Student Body President David Lopez first thanked his administration and all students who served on TSG committees and then provided a summary by the numbers of the work accomplished this semester.

Lopez said that TSG registered over 3,500 students to vote, 1,500 students for Temple Advocates Legislative Outreach Network, completed 990 hours of community service through TSG sponsored events, and started the Adopt-a-block initiative.

Lopez said that he did not want to register more than 2,000 students for TALON, because he wanted to make a push for registration next semester.

“Our goal is 4,500 [students], so according to our timeline we are exactly where we need to be. We didn’t want to register more than 2,000 this semester because it is more important to register them second semester closer to Cherry and White day,” Lopez said.

TSG takes students to the state capital in Harrisburg on Cherry and White Day to both advocate for higher education funding and thank legislators that fight for funding for Temple. Cherry and White Day is scheduled for March 5.

Lopez and TSG also plan to organize a large volunteer initiative on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On Thursday, Dec. 6, TSG has a meeting with student activities, community relations, and alumni relations.

“[We will] talk about a coordinated effort towards something to do on MLK day. We want to make one coordinated effort to promote locations that are available and then assign student orgs and assign alumni groups to places and do community service on that day,” Lopez said.

The TSG administration is also in the preliminary phases in conjunction with university officials to create a class wait list in the self-service banner.

“We had a meeting with one of the vice-provosts and we talked to them about implanting the class wait list system into banner, so that students rather than registering for a class and trying to green card and finding out it is not available will [instead] be put on a waitlist and be notified when it becomes available, so that they can register,” Lopez said.

Lopez approximated that the wait-list will be implemented during the summer semesters, according to his discussions with university officials.

The TSG general assembly will reconvene in late January to begin work for the Spring 2013 semester.
