Planned EC Gate Design

Sean Zimmermann reports from last night’s ESC proceedings:

The University has purchased a device that will allow electronic guest sign-in for dorms. Ideally, it will be installed in EC before the end of the semester. This comes as part of a larger overhaul of EC’s entrance. The current plan is to remove the grating now in place, leaving space for a much larger entrance with three “Lerner-style turn-styles” to allow students to swipe into the building. The guard desk will be moved past the grate.

Election Updates:

• Though Frank Yin, current GSSC Liaison, dropped out of the election last week, he resumed his bid for the VP Intergroup position last night. Yin explained that, though he did not have enough signatures to run, he was inspired by newly elected President Nate Levick’s speech, and successfully requested an extension to get more signatures. Yin was subsequently elected VP Intergroup.
• Sheila Misheni, SEAS ‘14,  was elected VP Policy Student Life.
• Audry Padgett, current sophomore class representative, explained that
  she is “the best candidate, even if [she] is the only candidate.”
  Padgett explained that VP Internal doesn’t have many outlined
  responsibilities, and therefore she would not be opposed to focusing
  on communications. She explained that she “wants to push [ESC]
  outreach next year … wants students to know who we are and wants to
  have an impact in their day to day lives.”
