by Nina Tabios Staff Writer

In the Academic Senate’s Decem- ber meeting, new exemptions were applied and approved to the Frosh Housing Requirement Policy, including if the student is of military status, is married with children or has fi nancial hardship as listed in the document. Th e recommendations were petitioned by the Academic Senate as a response to the frosh housing policy, which required that all freshmen were required to live on campus. Th e original policy was imple- mented in summer 2011 when Presi- dent Qayoumi enacted the impaction plan in response to budget cuts. “We thought the best strategy was that if we can’t eliminate the policy, might as well add tons of exceptions, as many as we could,” said A.S. president Tomas Kolodziejak. Students are noticing a decrease in hard copy greensheets with an increase of online syllabuses. Photo Illustration by Leo Postovoit and Jasper Rubenstein.

Th e 49ers found a home away from home at SJSU during the 2011 NFL lockout and rekindled a partnership between the two programs in the process. Since 2004, the San Fran- cisco 49ers and SJSU Athletics have gone hand-in-hand. Bill Walsh, an SJSU alum- nus and 49ers coaching legend, sought out Tom Bowen, the executive director of the 49ers Foundation at the time, and the two agreed Bowen would become the athletic director at SJSU in December 2004, replac- ing Chuck Bell. “Bill Walsh ran a search and asked me to become athletic director aft er my time with the 49ers,” said SJSU athletic director Tom Bowen. Since then, several professional football teams with ties to Bowen, including the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys, have practiced and worked out at Spartan Stadium and used its facilities.
