ASG Preview

Welcome to The Daily's ASG blog!

Tomorrow will be the third Associated Student Government meeting of the Winter Quarter.  Already, ASG senators have discussed many issues they hope to get started on or continue working on, including a weekend Chicago shuttle.

At tomorrow's ASG meeting, senators will introduce two bills.  Both are new orders of business, addressing race and gender issues impacting Northwestern students.

Weinberg sophomore Patrick Dawson will present a bill concerning nondiscrimination based on gender identity.

Weinberg sophomore Brittany Smith will present a bill concerning the Jena 6, a case in which six black teenagers in a Louisiana town were charged in December with beating a white classmate.

The specific details of these bills will come tomorrow during the meeting.
