Don’t fear this flock
Canada geese visit the University of North Florida almost every year during
the spring season. The geese basically reside on campus for a few months and
then leave for a short time after their goslings are born. The UNF geese are
non-migratory because they do not fly north, but tend to stay in the
Jacksonville area year-round. The UNF campus was designated a bird sanctuary by
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in the 1970s.
SG approves $2.69 million budget proposal
Senate has emergency meeting to finalize budget proposal, Foran approves

Student Government approved the proposed 2006-2007 budget March 8 at an
emergency Senate meeting. The $2.69 million budget was finalized March 15 once
it received the appropriate signatures.
The total budget increased more than $97,000 from the 2005-2006 fiscal budget of
$2.59 million. But SG Comptroller Betty Garris said the increase is not as much
as it consistently has been in previous budgets.
“Normally it would be $100,000 or close to $100,000,” Garris said at the
meeting.
