Senate: This year the ASBSU Senate seems more like a soap-opera than a legislative body, what with the Sawmiller fiasco and Senate Pro-Tern Greg Wilson's multiple resignations. Aside from its entertainment qualities, the Senate has done little to justify the $25,000 we have paid them in service awards. To be fair, several senators created a financial prize to encourage student organizations to com- pete in the food drive against the University ofIdaho. Senators also created a new service award in honor of Debbie Flores, former as- sistant to student government. And, umm ... they ... sometimes sit straight in their chairs at the twice-weekly Senate meeting. All of that in eight months!
