The semester's final Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Senate meeting consisted of more than four hours of ideas that the group hopes to see implemented in the fall.
The Senate approved numerous suggestions, including one condemning the university's proposed Fee Allocation Board and its structure.
The Senate expressed concerns about administrators' budgeting students' money and plans to send a letter to involved parties, demanding that the board "cease from forming."
The Senate also suggested the implementation of free lockers in the HUB-Robeson Center.
"If they could do this over the summer and have them in the fall, that would be the best thing for students," Town Sen. Mike Tomaselli said.
Details of the lockers' usage are to be discussed further, but USG is now submitting the formal suggestion to Stan Latta, director of Student Activities and Unions.
In addition to the lockers, USG plans to better incorporate freshmen into the Penn State experience by promoting student organizations at a table in the HUB early in the semester.
Mentioned in USG President Nick Stathes and Vice President Pat Daley's executive campaign, promoting student organizations is something USG hopes will aid in the lack of communication between the student government and the student body.
"Aiding and being involved in the student body needs to be done from the start," Katelyn Holmes, Internal Development director and Student Service Committee chairwoman, said.
The Senate plans to use the summer months to compile data -- including meeting times and contact information -- for all of the clubs willing to participate.
"We'll do the work for you in finding a group that interests you," USG Senate Vice President Frank Criscione said.
The Senate also passed legislation regarding student assistance to the families of deceased students.
USG will now provide a table in the HUB for students to offer monetary donations and written condolences to families in need.
In correlation to that initiative, the Senate plans to create a proposal aiding students who have recently lost a parent or guardian.
The proposal will be brought to the Senate within the first two weeks of next semester.
The Senate also approved seven executive cabinet members, two USG Supreme Court Justices and a senator -- all of whom said they want to improve the relationship between USG and the student body.
John Davis was appointed South Halls senator. The Senate is still trying to fill several other vacancies.
"I think that bond [between USG and the students] is not as strong as it should be," he said. "USG isn't as close to the students, and I want to help."
