• Bring Kanye to campus to do a concert and be the 2017 commence

ment speaker

• More outlets at the grill

• Covered walkway between Norris and Dibble

• Completing failed student initiatives

• Microwaves in lounges

• Make dorm TVs better

• Campfire pit on campus

• Upgrade the grills on campus

• Outdoor study pavilion

• Printers in every dorm

• Give SGA a car

• Ice rink

•“Just having fun” — Includes ice rink, t-shirt giveaway, prizes for

ity

• Smoothies

SGA Assistant Treasurer, Summer White ’18, narrowed the list down to two options to be decided on by campus council:

• “30,000 dollars to kick-start the Green Fund” — Starting next

semester there will be a 4,000 dollars per semester fund coming from

the student activities fee for green initiatives on campus. This would

start that fund early by giving it 30,000 dollars this semester

• “Blankets for everyone!” — 9,000 dollars to give every current

Grinnell student, including those on leave or off-campus-study, a

blanket with the SGA logo
