- In a visit to UM-St Louis Nov. 17, student Curator Rebecca Lambe said University of Missouri student govern­ . ments need to unite to give students a stronger voice on campuses. Lambe, whose tenD ends in January, said she would like to organize a get-together of the four student governments to compare and contrast goals and policies that each of them have. Then the four governments can relay their common concerns to Lambe, so she can bring them up at Board of Curators meetings. ''When students on one campus are pushing an issue (to the Board of Curators) it can be easily discarded," Lambe said. ''With a united student voice it is more difficult to ,e ignore." Lambe said an example of intercampus unification is working now. The Associated Students of the University of Missouri (ASUM) is working to gain interest for a bill that will allow the student curator to sit in on closed board meetings. The bill passed the house last year but died in the Senate. Presently, the student curator can neither vote nor sit Photo: Davs Floyd in on closed board meetings. • University of Missouri Student Curator Rebecca She said allowing the student curator to sit in on closed Lambe would like to see the student representative to meetings will give students a more important role in ooard the board be able to attend closed Board of Curator decision-making.
