The Student Government Association has not yet passed any legislation this year but is gathering information about new issues for the agenda.
Justin Hinga, chair of the governmental affairs committee, has proposed the idea of selling beer at regular season BSU sporting events.
SGA has not yet begun to push for the change, Hinga said, but they are simply starting to research the possibility.
"If it is going to be done it has to be done safely," Hinga said. "I have heard a lot of student interest voiced on this issue."
Hinga said there must be research done in the areas of liquor licensing, servers, greater security, NCAA regulations and student opinion.
While some senators are concerned with providing students with alcohol at sporting events, the diversity and multicultural affairs committee is working to expand the global studies class options in the university core currilculum.
Senator Olufunmbi Elemo said she would like to bring Asian-American, African-American and women's studies classes into the equation as not necessarily a requirement, but an option.
Elemo said that each of these fields deal with diversity and it is important for students to be able to compare cultures from different parts of the world.
SGA has brought up the issue of pushing for a new Student Center once again.
Adam Ittenbach, Vice President of SGA, said that a new Student Center has been on the agenda since 1987. Since nothing has happened so far, it is time to speed up the process by researching costs, designs and other pending issues, Ittenbach said.
"While the administration is taking over the current Student Center, the Art and Journalism building is too overrun to house (a new student center)," Ittenbach said.
A space between the Art and Journalism building and Teachers College is now under consideration, Ittenbach said.
Issues about overcrowding in the inQsit testing lab in Robert Bell have sparked ideas to add an additional lab, possibly in the Student Center or the library.
Senators are still in the process of getting information, and are not yet writing legislation.
