But how will the bills on free cuts for

President Jones has already Indicated
that the free cuts voted by the elected
representatives of the student body will not
be allowed. So it seems that the only
capacity of the senate is that of a suggesting
or begging group of interested students.
If the appropriate group in the Ad
