At the end of their first semester, leaders of the Undergraduate Student Government are leaving, for the most part, pleased with their progress on a number of issues.

Though some of the projects USG President Matt Roan and Vice President Kelly O'Brien set out to work on this year aren't completed, and others haven't begun, the two both said they were happy with their progress.

"I think that with what we set out to do this year that the point we're at right now is pretty much where we wanted to be," Roan said.

Some of the projects Roan said he was proud of included getting aisle markers in Lot 83 near the flower gardens, the increased e-lion hours, and the lowering of the HUB fees.

He added that some of the issues USG had set out to address will run into next semester. The project to increase the privacy for students listed in the Student Directory is still being researched and planned, Roan said.

Another project USG will begin working on next semester will deal with getting more buses out to off-campus locations. Roan said he intends to look into the CATA schedules and have a report ready for the beginning of next semester.

O'Brien said while she's also pleased with what they've done, she thinks it's important for students to remember that after USG forms platform goals, things can change.

"Definitely there's been a lot of changes in our goals and in the direction we plan to take," she said.

O'Brien said her biggest concern throughout the semester has been the expansion of women's health services, a project that can't continue until USG addresses lack of space issues in the on-campus health facilities in Ritenour.

While the expansion is the first priority on the list of facilities to be improved, the university currently doesn't have the money to begin.

"We have to figure out ways to continue lobbying the administration, and also to continue to look at different ways of funding this," O'Brien said.

USG Senate President Mike Fazio said in his three years on Senate, he's never seen a more productive group.

"The debates this year have been excellent," he said. "It's a more diverse body than I have ever seen."

Fazio outlined the achievements he said senators should be most proud of this year, including Unity Week, the institution of online voting for the homecoming court, and meetings that shed more light on the West Campus construction projects and their effect on the campus.

Working with the faculty on parking problems that will occur as the result of the construction is one of Fazio's goals for next semester as well as improving the inner workings of the senate. He said he hopes to clear up some procedures that have been causing problems.

The biggest disappointment during the semester for Roan and Fazio was the disbanding of the committee appointed to look into the workings of Judicial Affairs, though both indicated they were excited about working on it more during next semester.

"Maybe the commission wasn't the best idea," Fazio said. "Sometimes we just need to say . . . 'we need to take this into our own hands.' "
