Sen. Koger Bradford made a motion that each person appointed to fill a cabinet position be considered separately. His motion was opposed by Sen. Garry Latimer who said individuals appointed to serve in Walker's cabinet were discussed separately during hearings which were open to senators and students and this was the appropriate time to speak against any of the appointees. Sen. Latimer said he had served on the ap pointment committee and the committee had spent eight hours considering the cabinet appointees and all of them were endorsed with the exception of one who could not be reached. Sen. Bradford's motion was defeated and the Senate voted its approval of Walker's cabinet. Fhe Senate voted to accept two rule changes. The first of these stated "the Senate shall meet every Wednesday during the regular school session of the University." Previously, the Senate met every two weeks with com mittee meeting being held on the other Wednesdays. rhe second rule change involved the formation of committees. Seven committees were established. Student Body Vice President Julianne Still gave the Senate gavel to Sen. rom Stoudemire so she could explain the changes in committees. Vice President Still said the former Registration and Distribution Committee had been abolished and its duties were now delegated to two committees: the Athletics Committee and the Academics Committee. The Residence Life Committee was formed as a result of the establish ment of differentiated housing on campus. All Associated Woman Students' (AWS) rules will now be subject to Senate approval, the vice president said, but the rules will pass smoothly in the Senate provided the Senate does not dislike them, she said.
