SGA Board Set; Plans Year
By MARTHA WALKER
The 1979-80 SGA Executive Board of Flagler
College is off and running into what promises to be
a busy and exciting year.
Executive board members are Andy McRae,
president' Cliff Coates, vice president; Chris
Liquori, secretary; Lisa Almeida, social chair­person
; and Martha Walker, community relations
chairperson .
With the orientation program termed a "smooth
success" by all involved , the Board is turning its
attention to other matters.
Aside from the numerous dances and free
movies, many special events - some old , some
new - have been planned . There ·will be a trip to
ltchetucknee Springs , a Hawaiian Luau Weekend ,
Fall Weekend and Games Day, a Halloween Keg
Hunt, and the third annual Mr. Ugly Contest.
The Board is planning a new location for an SGA
office that will be more convenient than the present
one in the Muir House .
The SGA also hopes to purchase a new movie
projector in order to cut down on the expense of
free movie nights at the local theater.
Students would be able to choose the time they
would like to see the movie as there will be two
show times.
Another new practice started this year was a
survey given to the students on their preferences in
movies and in music for dances.
A new member to the board is Cliff Coates, who
has replaced Maureen Tormey as vice president.
Tormey chose not to come back to Flagler th is year
because her mother is seriously ill.
Coates was nominated to the office along with
four other eligible students. All had been in SGA
the previous year , were either juniors or seniors,
had a record of good attendance and the proper
GPA. The others declined due to conflicting
schedules , and th~ road was left open for Coates .
There is a wide range of interest among the five
executive board members.
