An update to the ASMSU Web site scheduled for March has yet to take place - a low priority, officials said.

Election information was posted on MSU's undergraduate student government's redesigned Web site in March, but representative information and other features have not been updated since then.

ASMSU Association Director James Perra said the additions to the Web site are ready to go once hiring for the organization's executive staff is finished and the director for digital media and graphic marketing has been trained.

"We're trying to close down shop," he said. "We're using other methods to get our messages out."

With elections and hiring meetings, the Web site not a high-priority item, Perra said.

Although dates of meetings and other information on the homepage is outdated, Perra said links to ASMSU's bookswap are still up and running.

The bookswap link is a way for students to exchange textbooks without the hassle of going to a bookstore.

ASMSU officials want to have a running message board and online application form available. But it will be up to the next group to decide what other features they want to have added to the Web site, he said.

Studio art sophomore Adam Olson created the new Web site for ASMSU and will be in charge of training the new director of digital media and creative marketing.

The cost for updating the Web site came out of the executive budget and is more cost-effective than using an outside corporation, Perra said.
