The Associated Student Body announced a vote to fill four newly vacant Senate seats next week. ASB Vice President Michael Howell also announced ASB will hold a vote to fill four newly vacant Senate seats next week. Past candidates are automati- cally invited to run, and all other students can turn in a petition by Monday to be considered. Howell said though these senators will only serve five weeks, they will get credit for a full term and be eligible to run for other campus positions. The Senate also voted to pass a set of regulatory and efficiency-centered bills, when they met for the sec- ond time this semester. Howell led the evening’s meeting, ushering three pro- posals through the senators’ voting process. The Rules Com- mittee presented two of these regulations to address senators’ attendance and duties, and the PHOTO BY: ARIEL COBBERT Student Life Committee pre- Allison Handy, college of liberal arts senator, presents bill 1701, which she authored, Tuesday evening in Lamar Hall.
