At the Youngstown State University Student Government Association meeting held Monday, facilities engineer Ralph Morrone addressed concerns brought to him by students, SGA members and campus police.
Their main concern was campus lighting. Students have complained that there are too many dark areas and they feel uncomfortable walking around campus during the evening and night hours.
Morrone said the facilities department is looking to put up LED lighting around campus. The orange lights now in use are comprised of underground conduit wiring; switching to the white LED lighting will help reduce utility payments and keep tuition costs down.
After comparing the Gmail and Live@EDU e-mail systems, the University Affairs Committee has decided to support YSU and its efforts in working with Microsoft and Live@EDU as the new e-mail system for the university. The committee feels this system will be in the best interests of YSU students.
The ad hoc committee designated to handle the Haiti relief effort is working to finalize the details of the fundraising event. A banquet and raffle will be held at end of March or in early April. The committee is working to provide big-ticket items as well as speakers and dinner entertainment for the event. All donations raised will go to the American Red Cross.
