		<link>http://ithaca.edu/sga/upload/fullnews.php?fn_id=128</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The president of the SGA will take a month-long leave of absence next semesterITHACA, New York – September 1, 2009 – Jeffrey Goodwin, President of the Ithaca College Student Government Association (SGA), will be off campus for approximately one month next spring semester.  During his absence, Aubrey Bendix, the current Vice President of Campus Life, will be overseeing the presidential responsibilities. This past summer, Mr. Goodwin accepted an internship with NBC for the Vancouver Olympics in British Columbia, Canada.  The internship will last from February 6 to March 7, 2010.“At first I completely wrote off going to Vancouver,” said Mr. Goodwin. “But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it will be possible to complete this internship without jeopardizing the SGA.”The four SGA Vice Presidents and the Senate Chair were notified of Mr. Goodwin’s intentions over the summer.  Mr. Goodwin and Ms. Bendix have spent the past month planning how best to ensure a seamless transition in the spring.“I chose Aubrey Bendix to take on the presidential role because of her extensive campus involvement and proven leadership abilities,” said Mr. Goodwin. Mr. Goodwin will be in close contact with all members of the SGA executive board throughout his internship. Upon returning from Vancouver, Mr. Goodwin will relieve Ms. Bendix of her temporary role and reassume all previous presidential responsibilities.   Any questions regarding the transition process or general SGA inquiries can be directed to Will Mathewson, Vice President of Communication.  Students are always encouraged to email sga@ithaca.edu, stop by the office in the Student Activities Center (3rd floor of Campus Center), or call 607-274-3085. Students are also invited to attend the SGA’s weekly meetings and speak to the SGA directly during "public forum.”The Student Government Association is the representative body of Ithaca College students which functions as a liaison between the student body and the administration. In addition, the SGA plans events and seeks new ways to improve the lives of students at Ithaca College. The SGA meets every Tuesday night in the Taughannock Falls Meeting Room on the third floor of Campus Center. Meetings begin at 8:15 p.m. and are open to the public.

		<title>SGA Brings Cortaca to Students on Campus</title>
		<link>http://ithaca.edu/sga/upload/fullnews.php?fn_id=73</link>
		<description><![CDATA[No Tickets? No Problem. Live Screening of the Cortaca Game on November 15thITHACA, New York - November 7, 2008 - The SGA has just announced plans to host a live screening of the Cortaca game, scheduled to take place Saturday, November 15th, at noon. The event, which will be held in IC Square, will feature free pizza and wings, a raffle, and a large projection screen airing the game.This event is designed for students not going the Cortaca Jug to have a chance to watch it in a warm, dry place.  Since the game can be viewed at a convenient on-campus location, students need not worry about traveling Cortland to see IC play its biggest rival. The event is totally free and open to all students."Tickets are usually hard to get for Cortaca, especially when it is held in Cortland," points out VP of Communications Luke Elmers, "Our goal was to provide a place for students who are unable to attend the game to still have the Cortaca experience." The screening, organized by the SGA's Event Planning Committee, is a part of the SGA's continued efforts to reach out to the student body in new and original ways.The Cortaca Jug is the trophy given to the winner of the annual college football game between the SUNY Cortland Red Dragons and the Ithaca College Bombers.  The game is one of the most prominent in Division III football and has been dubbed the "Biggest Little Game in America" by Sports Illustrated.  Limited capacity in both the Ithaca College and SUNY Cortland stadiums often results in tickets selling out the day they go on sale, which proved to be the case this year.  Lucky fans that do get tickets usually travel to the host school and watch the game amongst an excited, rowdy crowd.The Student Government Association is the representative body of Ithaca College students which functions as a liaison between the student body and the administration. In addition, the SGA plans events and seeks new ways to improve the lives of students at Ithaca College. The SGA meets every Tuesday night in the Taughannock Falls Meeting Room on the third floor of Campus Center. Meetings begin at 8:15 p.m. and are open to the public. More information is available online at www.ithaca.edu/sga. [NOTE: this version of the article CORRECTS the previous version, which incorrectly stated that the event begins at 1pm. The event actually begins at noon. We apologize for any confusion&#33;]]]></description>

		<title>News from the City of Ithaca: Odd / Even Parking Regulations Go into Effect November 1, 2008</title>
		<link>http://ithaca.edu/sga/upload/fullnews.php?fn_id=69</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Important information for members of the IC Community who regularly park downtown:ITHACA, New York - October 31, 2008 - The City of Ithaca would like to remind its residents and visitors that between November 1, 2008 and April 1, 2009, the City's Odd/ Even Parking Regulation will be in effect.  The regulation reads: "Effective November 1- April 1 of each year no person shall park a vehicle between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on the odd-numbered side of all City streets on the odd-numbered days of the calendar month, and on the even-numbered side of all City streets on the even-numbered days of the calendar month." To explain this regulation in simple terms: when you park your car for the evening (before midnight) on even numbered days, park on the side of the street where the house numbers are even, and on the odd side of the street on odd numbered days of the week.  This tip does not work if you park after midnight because the date has changed, so follow the city code language.  In addition, beware of instances when the 31st of the month changes to the 1st of the month as both are odd-numbered days. If your street is not marked with 24 hour parking signs, and there is only parking on one side of the street, you must move your car to another street on the off evenings.    The City also has a year-round 24 hour parking restriction that is effective Monday - Friday.  This means that no matter what street you live on, you must move your vehicle every 24 hours during the week.  Vehicles that have not moved in 72 hours could be considered abandoned and become subject to towing at the owner's expense. Your compliance with this regulation ensures that the city streets are kept free from accumulated snow and debris, and that parking spaces remain available to residents, commuters, and visitors. For more information on these parking regulations, please contact the City Clerk's Office (607) 274-6570.Contact:Julie Conley Holcomb,City Clerk(607) 274-6570                                            ]]></description>
