We came up with a proposal for going more into the dorms ourselves, visiting the hall councils and maximize that power to benefit the students. Also, the last thing is represents an entire student body, you need to be a little bit more the officers of the university. Things like this are work that needs to things like that, so students know we are much more willing to listen the student body presidency .... The tone of the year gets set by the careful on that. be continued. These are long-term projects that have to be followed to what they have to say. I think the more personal contact we could student body presidency. And in that aspect, I think that, as a result, BROWNING: I was personally offended by the action, but you have up on. There is a, I think other one [projects] similar to this in student have between hall council and things like that, the better. I think everything else falls into place. to draw a line somewhere between where you're personally of government that are things that we should be expected to do. It people will truly be represented. BROWNING: We're looking to be a little more accessible, a little fended and what you feel is in the best interests of the students that depends on whether we have the experience necessary to do them or more hands-on. They way we look at it, student government, the you're representing .... There were only three people who voted not and I think we definitely do. . What was your response to the student senate resolution re- fIrst word of that phrase is student ... one of my ideas was to have against it.

What would you have done is you bi-weekly meetings which we would open up. representing the .students, you need to take 'into account those What do you feel has been the major accomplishment of this were present at the discussion? . GALLO: We would invite different students from different orga students who feel in the way that Stepf voted and in the way that I year's student government? FLYNN: Well, the one thing that I feel about that, and this is only nizations and different dorms. The logic behind that is students would have voted on that as well. " 0 WELLMANN: I worked on the Board of Trustees report Upholding a personal opinion, but senate's role, is that if they have something the Mission, whiCh is the committee for undergraduate education. I brought before them to vote on, they have the right to vote on that. ,continued from page 4 and it is areal pain. The thing that is amazing is that we can pay for think that is one of the primary things that every student has to be If they didn't have the right, that would be censorship also. In other concerned with is the quality of our education. And I think the work words, people say you don't have the right to send a letter stating you I talked with an alumni over break who is an engineer and he said it ourselves, and that is what is appealing. We checked into this with ! "We had room for three engineers and I called Career and Placement the task force and it has, so far, been responded to pretty positively. that they did with that has been very critical. Obviously, they started feelings to someone else. Wasn't Sinead O'Connor just expressing and they n.ever got back to me." There are probably a lot of instances So that's why we feel really excited about because that is a concrete : their presidency iast year with the.Back to Basics and then Up her feelings too? If the senate disapproves of what she did, they can where that'happens - they just don't have the manpower - but we cJuu.tge we can make and it's not like we are soliciting it from the holding the Mission and I think any work that can be continued with express that they disapprove of it. Personally, I would have voted just want to help the student in their search for summer jobs or full university, we are offering it almost. them. That was crucial and that's why we are here. it down. I feel pretty strongly against censorship and if I had seen time positions. WELLMANN: . The next thing would be the book fair. I think the bill I would have said, "No, I don't .think we should say that she FLYNN: Also, summer storage. We worked a lot in the past everyone has had the experience of complaining about the amount Do you feel that changes need to made in the structure and/or the can 'tdo that."

Personally, I'm an English functions of the different arms of student government govern to vote on that.

At the beginning of the semester they will say "Buy these ten ment: the HPC, senate and the student body presidency? students.. ' students are forced to go off campu~ every year and the rates of books," and at midsemester they send them back, so if you don't. FL YNN: Yes, definitely. There has been a lot of talk about the role WELLMANN: I agree with what he is saying. I would just make storing off campus goes up and the students are forced to pay more. have them, you don't have them, so you have to buy them. And, at of student senate this .year. The one thing about senate is that it has sure that they talk with the students and knew how the students felt. It's a pain in everybody neck getting your stuff out of there and he the end of the semester you didn't get to the last three books. You a very critical role, and that isit brings many different student groups They are obviously representing the students and they shouldn't craziest day of the year is summer storage day on campus when you paid fifteen bucks for each book, you go to sell it back and they are on campus together. The oiie'thlng, though, is to define better some make any decisions based on their personal opinions. It should 00 come back and when you leave. What we worked on is that we could going to give you 50 cents for each book and then they sell it for ten of the roles of the people in those department, such as the senators based on the students they talk to. build our own building and pay for it ourselves. How we would do dollars again. That's a complaint of mine. A lot of dorms have run and others. It seems that their responsibilities aren't as well defmed FLYNN: Again, the role. of the senator should be defined more, this is, this has been done at other schools, where they contract a loan a book fair. What we would do is collect the books from the students, and there is not as much activity that goes on in the body of the where the senator can make rounds around his quad and talk to basis through the university. The university can take out a loan and take a very accurate record [of what books students bring in] and senate. If the senate itself had more responsibilities other than just students about how they feel about these things. Then they can make then the students can pay the loan back throughout the years. It would organize these books by college. major and specific course titles. conducting meetings and keeping everyone informed, they could do an assessment of how they feel and vote in that way. I don't know keep the costs low as far as the storage goes and the storage could be We would set it up in a designated location, say like the Ballroom, more. I would say HPC is definitely the key part of student of any senators currently who make that trip out to all the doors or on campus, distribution could be collected much differently so that for say the first weekend during classes and_ have this all set up so . government, mainly because it brings together each leader of every send newsletters and try to contact the kids.

It came out to three dollars per student each then when they would sell their books,. they would get a lot more have amazing resources. This year we did a lot of work on HPC summer to store as much stuff reasonably. It would also be open to money . Student government would not take a cut at all. It would just which can be improved upon next year. We started a service fund, clubs and organizations on campus - they have to go off campus be a service that we would provide.
