USG works hard for student body
USG SUCKS . . . or so they say. It's time you knew the truth, Penn State. HUB Late Night events, multicultural festivals and forums, lobbying trips, philanthropies, Know Your Rights campaigns, World Wide Web pages, buses home for breaks, Safety Awareness Week, legal services and housing fairs were all brought to you by the Undergraduate Student Government.USG represents the undergraduate student body at the University Park campus. USG can be reached by calling 863-1USG, via E-mail at usg@psu.edu, through its World Wide Web site at http://www.clubs.psu.edu/usg or by stopping by 203 HUB.
How about the day two kegs full of root beer were available in
front of the Willard Building in an effort to promote students'
alcohol rights? It was a product of USG Senate.
And we'll never forget the campaign for a fall break. It took
thousands of signatures and loads of research by USG Academic
Assembly.
Then there was the time that the students' voice was audibly represented
when the State College Borough Council proposed a new zoning ordinance.
USG Town Affairs was there to respond. Did you catch a bus in
front of the HUB or at East Halls for any of the breaks? The USG
Business Department was responsible for those buses. Here's one
you may not remember. There were two events (one in Michigan and
one in Indiana) at which the University was excellently represented.
The USG Big Ten Affairs Department represented us.
Remember Apathy Week last semester? Our senate worked hard at putting together this week full of Continental Cola, mass E-mails to the University President and voter registration efforts.
We've heard the rumors. We know that it has been said that our
work this year has been minimal.
We understand that it is hard to believe something you can't see. That is why we invite you . . . WE BEG YOU . . . to come visit us in 203A HUB and find out for yourself what the REAL truth is. We've had a busy year, and we are far from being finished.
