More than ever the times call for student leaders who are informed and concerned about changes that need to be made in academics as well as in other sreas of student life.

Opposing the notion of total abolition of the Senate, Thrasher remarked: "Student Govern­ ment must work for a change in attitudes, rather than tinker with the structures themselves." To gain what he called a "basic attitudinal change" with­ in the Senate, Thrasher called for a reassessment of the body's function. "The Senate could act as a very valuable research body for the SL<', wherein the Senate would forw;ml informative, detailed resolutions to the SLC, thereby eradicating much time­ consuming indicision"' he com­ mented. "By playing an integral role in the communittee structure of the SLC, and by allowing indivi­ dual Senators to speak before the SLC, the senate can truly become an extension of st udnet opinion."

Thrasher noted the impor­ tance that the Senate plays in determining the Student Govern­ ment budget. lie pointed this out as ;mother reason why the senate should continue to exist. "It is imperative that the Senate fulfill its budgetary obli­ gation by riding herd on budget­ ed groups, and issue a report at 1he end of each year assessing the value and progress of each group," he stated. "The Senate must be willing to devote itself to a degree of difficult, thankless, unheralded research toward creating a more well-defined, ·coherent Student Govern men tstruct ure." In referring to the past pro­ blems of Student Government, Thrasher said that it had been heavy in rhetoric with the students but not at all strong in dealing with the ~dministration. -~------~- --
