If you are interested in filling this position please come to our SGA meeting this Sunday, at 7:00pm in Hamlin Hall.

I want to let the Trinity community know that we experienced some technical difficulties recording video footage of our first two SGA meetings this semester. But, we are excited to say that we will be purchasing new equipment within the next two weeks and hope to improve the service.

Due to poor audio quality and our inability to record the entire meeting, the Executive Board has decided to remove the video of this past Sunday’s meeting. The video from the first SGA meeting of the semester, while it was complete, was also removed because the audio totally failed.

With the implementation of the new equipment we expect to resolve these technical issues for future SGA meetings and you can look forward to viewing them live every Sunday at 7pm.

The Barack Obama Presidential Campaign is inviting Trinity students to volunteer to set up his rally on Monday at the XL Center in Hartford. Students will need to leave Trinity at 1:30pm and will likely return from the event around 7:00-7:30pm.

If you would like to go, e-mail zachary.sonenshine@trincoll.edu right away.

UPDATE: The bus will leave Mather at 1:30 pm for volunteers (anyone can volunteer and it I first-come, first serve). The bus will return and leave from Mather at 2:30 pm for students who do not wish to volunteer (first-come, first serve).

According to an article on the Hartford Courant’s website, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Edward Kennedy will be at a rally in Hartford this Monday, February 4, at the XL Center, formerly known as the Civic Center.

Doors will open at 3:30 p.m., and the program will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required, but the campaign strongly recommends an RSVP, which can be done by calling 860-729-4632 or visiting ct.barackobama.com.

(Personal experience: You can RSVP online, but if you call the phone number you will listen to a voicemail stating that you don’t need to RSVP…)

Hopefully, with the current political climate, Barack Obama will also consider visiting Hartford, CT.
