Kam Weiler, a junior international relations major and town representative, has missed six House meetings, according to House records. Both Duncan and Weiler said they chose not to be involved in House this semester but have not contacted the I louse .secre- tary, Christi Campbell. And both said they chose not to participate as representatives because of hectic schedules and previous commitments. A bill authored by the House's Elections and Regulations Committee has been designed to solve some of these problems and improve attendance in both House and committee meet- ings. The bill would make committee absences equal to House absences. The current attendance policy sets two committee meeting absences and every subsequent absence equal to one House absence. House president Scott Wheatley said at the meeting when the attendance reform bill was introduced that under the current policy, a representative could miss almost all of his or her com- mittee meetings without being dismissed from House. The attendance bill is also designed to improve House meet- ing attendance, Wheatley said. The current attendance policy allows representatives three TCU Daily Skiff/ Rebecca Newitt Heidi Hunter, a sophomore nursing major, gives blood in the Student Center Lounge Tuesday. see Attend, page 8 House approves appropriations; GOP shindig starts campaign BY CHRIS NEWTON money aids College Republicans TCU DAILY SKIFF Young people in political organiza- Improvements Committee chair- tions can have a profound effect on BY DENA RAINS major elections in the United States TCU DAILY SKIFF man, said the organization was new and he didn't want to see the said Tuesday night at the chairman of The House of Representatives group's members pay S50 to S100 House, group the Republican Party of Texas at the Tuesday approved bills to give to participate in its activities.
