Over the past six months, your Student Government has been working closely with departments across UNF to enhance campus life, bring students unique opportunities and ensure that your voices are effectively carried to university administrators and state officials. Our work is not yet finished, and the more than 100 students involved in the day-today operations of Student Government are more committed than ever to represent and serve you well. As your president, I have been inspired to hear your stories of success through challenging times. We all have hardships in our lives – whether financial, family- related, academic or other – and all too often it becomes easy to get caught up in such moments. As we begin a new year and semester, let us continue striving for the greatness that we can only find together. It is ultimately the successes of our students that will carry our institution in the long run, and I am confident that we Signed sincerely, can all overcome our individual struggles and become part of the best era UNF has seen in its short history. Below this message you will find several updates on the promises we made when you elected us, as well as some ideas we’re pushing in the upcoming semester. As Carlo Fassi always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns about any UNF matter, President please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or stop by our offices on University Trustee the third floor of the Student Union (east building). Swoop! Student Government University of North Florida Initiatives Update Aim Higher Florida Campaign This student-led campaign stresses the importance of our state investing in public higher education. Over the past five years, the State of Florida has cut more than $1 billion from our universities, leading to a close to 100% increase in tuition prices during the same time period. SG will be hosting an “Aim Higher Rally” on January 14th at noon (the day tuition is due) to urge students to sign petitions and write person- alized postcards to our own state representatives. The time to stop tuition increases is now, but we must stand together. Please stop by and join our movement! New Campus Dining Options During last spring’s elections, we promised to bring more name brand eateries to UNF so that you’d have better choices when considering dining on campus. Papa John’s will be opening a brand new location in the Student Union food court in the coming weeks, and Chick-Fil-A will be opening a full-service restau- rant at Alumni Square (in the former Sbarro’s space). Intramural Sports Facility Enhancements Our senators worked closely with the Executive Branch to fund enhancements to UNF’s intramural sports program. These items include jerseys, professional scoreboards and end-zone markers, as well as an exciting new policy of tracking all statistics and uploading them online, allowing participants and supporters to track individual athlete performance. Free Printing SG is again funding twenty-five (25) free prints per student at any of the printing stations in the library or around campus.

While most UNF students were enjoy- ing their holiday break, the UNF men’s basketball team was traveling around the country playing a series of tough games. UNF has now moved into the season-with- in-the-season as they start Atlantic-Sun Conference play. Over the past month, a few themes have emerged that will determine the success of UNF against A-sun competition. Free throw shooting This season the team is making the freebies. UNF is shooting a combined 69 percent from the free-throw line, which is nine percentage points higher than last season. Four out of the five starters are shooting over 70 percent, with Parker Smith leading the team at 88 percent. Starting lineup shuffle The current starting lineup is not the starting five that head coach Matthew ANDREW NOBLE I Spinnaker Driscoll envisioned when he started the Travis Wallace has proved to be one of UNF’s season. This season was supposed to be most consistent scorers so far this season. the year of the seniors, with all five pro- jected starters in their final year of eligibil- ity, but things have changed. Senior Jerron Granberry took a leave of absence from the team after the death of his father, and it’s doubtful that he will return. True freshman Beau Beech has stepped in to take Granberry’s place and has played well, averaging 14.8 points and 4.7 rebounds over the last four games. Senior Andy Diaz missed five games with a knee injury. His replace- ment, junior Travis Wallace, played so well during Diaz’s absence that Driscoll chose to keep him in the starting lineup even after Diaz returned to 100 percent health. Wallace has been the most consistent player for UNF over the last seven games averaging 20 points and 6.7 rebounds during that stretch.
