Senate cuts st Kv GIENDA MILLER News Editor Student Senators voted against appropriating themselves any renumeration in the form of salaries or stipends at Wed nesday's meeting. A hill to abolish stipends for senators and establish a salary system was introduced into the Senate and defeated. The bill, authored by Senator Bobbie Thomasson, proposed that senators be salaried by Student Government and accept pay reductions for absences from Senate meetings, committee meetings and subcommittee meetings. Senator Thomasson said the bill was based on a similar system used at Florida State University <FLSU only the proposed salaries lor USC senators were not as high as those at Florida State. The bill was defeated 16 to 19. Senators would receive $50 per semester in stipends during fiscal year 1971-1972 if they had not amended the Appropriations Bill and abolished all financial reimbursement for all senators. A esolution by Senator Garry Latimer providing for the establishment of a permanent faculty-student committee for teacher evaluation" was passed by the Senate Wednesday. Membership on the committee would be equally divided between laculty and students; the latter being appointed by the Student Body President with the Senate's approval.

Senator Koger Bradford moved that Secretary for Academic Af lairs Mike White be allowed to speak to the Senate explaining the methods to be used in the teacher evaluations. In the absence of Secretary White. Student Body President Harry L. Walker addressed the Senate and said, "First of all, I don't know that much about the bill." President Walker spoke in lavor of the bill and said all departments on the University should he evaluated, not just the College of Arts and Sciences. Senator Latimer said he had spoken to some persons in the college of Arts and Sciences and they said they did not think the University was ready to extend the evaluation to the whole University community. The senator said he thought the evaluations had been effective in the past and should be expanded to include all departments of the U niversity. Objections given by the College of Arts and Sciences to the ex pansion of the evaluation program were the cost involved and the size of the resulting publication, Senator L2atimer said.
