Sorority seeks
dress donations
Rebekah Cansler
Staff Writer
Do you have an old prom dress
that you are never going to wear
again? Would you like a new for-mal
dress? Panhellenic Council,
the governing body of sorori-ties
on campus, is sponsoring an
event to donate and sell prom
dresses.
Courtney Beam, vice president
of her sorority's Philanthropy
Chair, is in charge of this event.
She is collecting donated prom
dresses of any size or style. Her
V,
goal is to receive 30 donated
dresses by April 15, which is the
last day to give a dress. On April
16 and 17 from noon to 4:00 p.m.,
Beam will be renting a space in
the EUC Commons to sell the
donated dresses to college stu-dents.
None of the dresses will be
above $30. The money received
from the dresses will go to buy
a nice prom dress for a girl who
cannot afford one.
Beam chose Dudley High
school of Greensboro to find a
girl in need. She is gong to speak
to the guidance
counselor to find a
girl that would be
appropriate. If all of
the dresses do not
sell, Beam will do-nate
those dresses to
girls in need also.
This is the first
ever sponsored
service event by
Panhellenic. Beam
hopes to make this a
yearly event as well
as doing more ser-vice
projects in the
fall semester.
If you have a dress
that you would like
to donate, you can
contact Courtney
Beam at cabeam@
spartan.uncg.edu.
She is also trying to
arrange a day to rent
a table in the EUC
commons to drop
off dresses.

Skybus plunges
into bankruptcy
Stephanie Patton
News Editor
Nearly three months after
opening a hub in Greensboro and
almost four years in the making,
Skybus is calling it quits. The air-line
recently went bankrupt and
ceased all operations beginning
Saturday, April 5.
Customers who have already
purchased tickets from Skybus
must now contact their credit
card companies for refunds, since
the airline is in no shape to give
anyone money.
Passengers booked for flights
on Friday, April 4, the day before
the airline stopped operations,
were taken to their destinations.
According to the former air-line's
website, the carrier faced
issues similar to those faced be
most Americans at the moment.
"Skybus struggled to overcome
the combination ol rising jet fuel
costs and a slowing economic en-vironment,"
reads the homepage
of the website. "These two issues
proved to be insurmountable for
a new carrier."

However, they were, and are, re-sponsible
for booking a return
flight with another airline.
In addition to Skybus, two
other airlines closed for similar
reasons last week. ATA Airlines
and Aloha Airlines have also been
forced to declare bankruptcy due
to financial difficulties surround-ing
the current economy and fall
prices.
Re-election
schedule
announced
Stephanie Patton
News Editor
Last Tuesday, SGA made prog-ress
toward the new elections
coming up this month. The asso-ciation
made necessary changes
to the election statues and the
schedule for the new elections was
announced. This did not happen
quickly, however, due to some
minor debate about the guideline
changes and a dispute surround-ing
the new election.
At the meeting, it was an-nounced
that Senator Michael
Boglovits, a candidate for SGA
president, was retracting his ap-peal
to remove Senator Michael
Tuso, also running for president,
from the ballot in the upcoming
re-elections. Boglovits had re-quested
Tuso be removed from
the ballot, claiming that cam-paigning
procedures had not been
mmumdi lb* appwl wan lu be
sent to Superior Court, delaying
the elections further. On March
27, Boglovits retracted this appeal
stating there were "flaws in both
campaigns" and there is need "for
the integrity and continuance of
the elections."
The retraction was accepted,
allowing the re-elections to take
place sooner than was expected.
However, Senator Tuso moved
to strike the re-election entirely
and let the original election re-sults
stand. Tuso claimed that
by not meeting during the time
span allotted by election bylaws,
the Elections and Publicity Com-mittee
did not follow proper
procedure.
Instead, Tuso recommended
either holding a re-election for
selective categories that were
compromised due to names be-ing
left off the ballot or having
the vice president use his ap-pointing
power to appoint those
candidates, since there are enough
available spots.
Once the accusations and rec-ommendation
sank in, Earissa
Manon, student attorney general,
denied Tuso's request because the
decision had been made and, ac-cording
to SGA's Election Guide-lines,
the Elections and Publicity
Committee has the last word re-garding
such matters.
