Apr.8-Apr.H2008 THEaronnian THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF UNCG FREE-www carolinianonl ine.com 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." PUBLIC DOMAIN 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.
