    SGA supports adding Chase ATM on campus

    Students who bank with JPMorgan Chase may soon have an ATM on campus.

    The House of Student Representatives voted to support the installation of a Chase ATM at Tuesday’s meeting.

    Student Body Treasurer Lydia Longoria authored the resolution.

    “This was what we had most concern about from students,” Longoria said. “Cody [Westphal] posted a status asking students how we [SGA] could help and a Chase ATM was by far the biggest response.”

    TCU had plans to install a Chase ATM in Jarvis hall across from the financial services office, but ultimately decided not to because of concerns about student use.

    “I would like to see it [the ATM] in the new BLUU (Brown Lupton University Union) or the library,” Longoria said.

    Longoria said Brian Gutierrez, the vice chancellor for finance and administration, wanted to see student support for a Chase ATM before pursuing installation somewhere else on campus.

    JPMorgan Chase bank is the largest bank operating in Texas, according the Texas State Historical Almanac. Due to it’s widespread use, Longoria said it made logistical sense to author and support the resolution.

    “As a freshman, I didn’t have a car and there’s not one [Chase bank] in walking distance,” AddRan College of Liberal Arts representative Nicolette Stanley said. “I think it’d be great to have one on campus so students don’t have to pay the $2 fee.”

    In other news in today’s meeting:

    The House failed to pass House bill 101-10 “A Bill to Reapportion SGA House of Student Representative Seats for the 102nd Session.”

    This bill would have solidified the apportionment of seats in the House for the spring 2015 election season. 

    Due to concerns with the math used to calculate the seats and a flaw in the constitution’s method of apportioning seats, the House failed the bill. 

    This will require the Elections and Regulations Committee to draft new legislation and potentially amend the Constitution by next week. The Elections and Regulations Committee must pass this legislation so that filing can begin on time. Filing for elections is set to begin on March 16.

    The House also failed a resolution that would have added an additional $8 fee per semester so that students could order unlimited official transcripts. It costs $10 per transcript that a student orders from the registrar’s office.
