At last week's senate meeting LeShoure did not report to the senate what he had heard from the representatives because of the length of the meeting. If the use of the student representatives is to be effective, the Student Senate needs to change its bylaws to state that representatives must attend both senate and City Council meetings. It is only logical that the representatives go to senate meetings to learn about the students’ needs before going to City Council and trying to represent them.
