A senate subcommittee last week presented to senate members alternative methods to pay executive board members. Currently, the stu- dent body president and the student vice presi- dents for academic, public, financial and Editorial student affairs receive full tuition waivers. The executive board members also are required to work a minimum of 48 hours per month. The student body voted in a campuswide referendum last semester to have a subcommit- tee look into alternative options for compensa- tion. A total of 1,006 voted against executives receiving full tuition waivers while 374 stu- dents voted for it. Money shouldn’t be the main concern in this issue. People who are in these positions should be there because they want to serve the stu- dents, and they shouldn’t be in it for the money. The executive board members’ main pur- pose is to set examples for other senate mem- bers and to represent the student body in dif- ferent areas around campus.
