The dean of studentlife would also nominate five undecided students.Stephen Pra<strong>the</strong>r, radiology junior and SGA senatepro-tempore, said Bill 49-11 creates a compromisefrom what <strong>the</strong>y have in place and what Bill 49-10proposes.“The bill proposes a student ambassador committee,where three people from each school would berepresenting <strong>the</strong>ir school on <strong>the</strong> committee,” Pra<strong>the</strong>rsaid.The bills both carry certain advantages in ensuringgreater accountability and individual school representation.“If you look at <strong>the</strong> way our SGA is structured now,most senators aren’t elected,” Kevin Evans, secondaryeducation junior and SGA vice president, said.“Over 60 percent of students on our senate weren’tIU network,” Staton said. “An e-mail is sent to allIU students on every campus outlining <strong>the</strong> dangersof illegal file sharing, <strong>the</strong> seriousness of copyrightinfringement lawsuits and what students can do toeducate and protect <strong>the</strong>mselves. These are all waysin which IU seeks to educate and protect our students.”In a letter to students from Tom Sawyer, chief informationofficer of information technology, he saidout how a student must understand is summarized.The letter said it is important to understand thatif someone shares copyright materials, he is likelybreaking <strong>the</strong> law. It is fairly easy for <strong>the</strong> copyrightholders to identify computers on <strong>the</strong> Internet fromwhich sharing is taking place and obtain a court orderto obtain information about that user.Any illegal sharing using Internet accessis against IU policy. If IU receives notice thata student has used <strong>the</strong>ir network for ille-gal filesharing, <strong>the</strong> university can takeappropriate action as well as charge afee of $50 to <strong>the</strong> student’s Bursar billin order to pay for <strong>the</strong> violation.According to <strong>the</strong> CopyrightInfringement Resolution doc-ument, a student’s first of-fense will result in a $50fine and <strong>the</strong> studentwill have to completean online tutorial.They will alsohave to pass aquiz within 36hours.If <strong>the</strong> studentfails orrefusesto take <strong>the</strong> quiz, <strong>the</strong>ywill be unable to access <strong>the</strong> IUnetwork and given a deadline of twoweeks to finish <strong>the</strong> quiz.If <strong>the</strong> student still fails to resolve <strong>the</strong> issue, <strong>the</strong>dean of students will be notified and <strong>the</strong>ir accountwill remain blocked until <strong>the</strong> quiz is passed.For <strong>the</strong> second offense, <strong>the</strong> student will have torestart <strong>the</strong> tutorial and quiz as well as pay ano<strong>the</strong>r$50 fine.However, for <strong>the</strong> second offense, <strong>the</strong> student cannotregain service until at least two weeks.On <strong>the</strong> third offense, access to <strong>the</strong> server will betaken away indefinitely.“Don’t pirate while on an IU computer, over anyIU network, wired or wireless, or while on a secureVPN connection through <strong>the</strong>ir servers,” JonathanMorrison, IT employee and video production specialist,said.elected. They are not representative of <strong>the</strong> studentbody.”Evans also said deans need to talk to faculty membersevery day and have a sense of <strong>the</strong> students whobelong to <strong>the</strong>ir school.Josh Kornberg, communications senior and SGApresident, said <strong>the</strong> deans may be biased towardnominating students with higher grades, but someSGA members view that as an advantage.Matt Owen, political science junior, SGA senatechair and co-author of Bill 49-11, weighed in on <strong>the</strong>merits of <strong>the</strong> bill.“[Bill 49-11] makes it easier for <strong>the</strong> schools to berepresented in SGA because people don’t need to attenda meeting every week, <strong>the</strong>y just need to be incontact,” Owen said. “It allows more people to getinvolved.”Speaking on Bill 49-11, Kornberg said <strong>the</strong> big issuewith this bill is that it counts on committees toresolve schools’ issues.Kornberg also said this was a significant step for<strong>the</strong> SGA.“The reason we don’t have people banging downour door to join SGA is because we don’t do anythingof any significance that affects student body,”Kornberg said. “We don’t have anything to show.For <strong>the</strong> first time this year, we’re making strides, butwe won’t if we count on committees to resolve <strong>the</strong>issues.”The SGA members have acknowledged that withso many advantages and drawbacks associated wi<strong>the</strong>ach proposal, it’s critical that <strong>the</strong> student body inform<strong>the</strong>mselves about <strong>the</strong> bills and provide feedback.“We know that this is something we need studentinput on because it’s so important to our organization,”Kornberg said. “We need students to knowthat we care about <strong>the</strong>ir opinions.”EnrollmentBridge closure suspectedfor low campus attendanceCONTINUED FROM page 1for <strong>the</strong> spring semester,” said Crews. “Althoughwe cannot say for sure why <strong>the</strong>re wasa decrease, I think it is because of <strong>the</strong> bridgebeing closed down.”A significant amount of students who areenrolled at IU Sou<strong>the</strong>ast come from Louisville.On Sept. 9, 2011, <strong>the</strong> Sherman MintonBridge closed down indefinitely, which ispart of Interstate 64, running from Sou<strong>the</strong>rn<strong>Indiana</strong> to Kentucky.Brandi Smith, criminal justice freshman,is from downtown Louisville.“I can get to school in 15 minutes on a goodday,” Smith said, “but I have been stuck intraffic for up to two hours before because of<strong>the</strong> bridge being closed down.”Smith now lives on campus and said shechose to live at IU Sou<strong>the</strong>ast so she would nothave to drive back and forth in <strong>the</strong> traffic everyday.“Next year I will be living at home,” Smithsaid, “I hope <strong>the</strong>y have <strong>the</strong> bridge fixed by<strong>the</strong>n.”Smith said she came to IU Sou<strong>the</strong>ast forseveral reasons, including <strong>the</strong> in-state fee.“Even though I’m from Louisville, I wasable to come to IU Sou<strong>the</strong>ast for in-state tuition,”Smith said. “I also love how small <strong>the</strong>campus is and that I can get to all my classesin less than five minutes.”However, students from Louisville are not<strong>the</strong> only ones who play a part in enrollment.“In <strong>the</strong> spring we usually get more transferstudents, but this year we had a decrease,”Crews said. “The bad economy could havesomething to do with it.”However, <strong>the</strong>re is no way to know exactlywhy <strong>the</strong> numbers are down without interviewingevery student who did not return,commute or transfer.Enrollment projections are also based onacademic enrollment for <strong>the</strong> whole year, andspring enrollment is just a part of it.“Yes, <strong>the</strong> spring enrollment is down,”Crews said, “that does not mean <strong>the</strong> numberswill be down for <strong>the</strong> year as a total.”Although most of <strong>the</strong> enrollment numbersdecreased, <strong>the</strong> graduate enrollment increasedby 1.6 percent.SENIOR EDITORClaire Munnclamunn@umail.iu.eduSPORTS EDITORourtney McKinleycomckinl@imail.iu.eduROFILES EDITORrittany Powellbripowel@ius.eduEATURES EDITORStephen Allenallen68@imail.iu.eduryan Jonesjonesbry@umail.iu.eduADVISERRon Allmanrallman@ius.eduSTAFFTiffany AdamsAmira AsadLynn BaileyClare BowyerAmanda BrownMonique CaptanBradley CooperMichelle CunninghamJohn DiDomenicoTaylor FergusonEthan FlemingSusan GreenwellAysia HogleMaya JannaceTaliah ShabazzAshley WarrenS.B.
