SA meeting minutes
The following were noted at the most recent meeting of the Student Association on Feb. 18.
SA Internal Vice President Gabrien Clark announced Student Senate changeover would take place March 4.
SA Director of Elections Monica Zatarain announced the results of the recent general election and that there would be a runoff election for the position of SA secretary since no candidate received more than 50 percent of the votes as required by the SA constitution, and a lack of preferential voting prevented the determination of a winner. The runoff election will run from 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, until 11:59 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22.
SA President Sanjula Jain discussed the SA's accomplishments during her administration.
The SA Executive Board members each discussed what projects they presided over during the year. Highlights include the creation of committees, a larger new student representative program, reducing the LPAP requirement from two to one, Centennial programming, the blanket tax committee and the club approval committee.
The college presidents presented their work, covering the Student Vision for the Second Century, the Center for Teaching Excellance, college fee increases, centennial activites and key discussions during the year, among other things.
The NSRs and college senators finished the presentation as they spoke of their projects and achievements.
The SA will next meet March 4 in Farnsworth Pavilion at 9 p.m.

A crowd gathered at House of Blues Houston on June 18 to hear the upbeat bedroom pop that got many of them through high school. Titled the “Long Hair, Long Life” tour (see the band members), this collaboration between Peach Pit and Briston Maroney felt like a time capsule to 2017: a setlist teeming with both original songs and music from their latest albums, “Magpie” and “JIMMY”, and an unspoken dress code of cargo shorts, graphic T-Shirts and backward caps.

Worth the wait: Andrew Thomas Huang practices patience
Andrew Thomas Huang says that patience is essential to being an artist. His proof? A film that has spent a decade in production, a career shaped by years in the music industry and a lifelong commitment to exploring queer identity and environmental themes — the kinds of stories, he said, that take time to tell right.
