The Wichita State Student Government Association started the semester Wednesday with a short meeting that elected committee members and appointed three new senators.

Dalton Stanfield and Jarvis Lawson were appointed as at-large senators and Sohaib Tahir was appointed to the position of graduate senator.

At-large senator Reece Burns was elected to lead the Oversight and Inquiry Committee, and at-large senator Jonathan Dennill will join Burns as a member of the same committee.

To conclude business, legislative director Mariah Smith introduced a bill for its first read.

The bill deals with transition processes between old and new Senates. It will be voted on next week. The bill is relevant because an election for a new senate happens every spring semester.

SGA will meet again at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 233 of the Rhatigan Student Center.
