Lott said the absences don't effect the functioning of the senate. "We don't have very many absences, or enough to affect it that much." After last year's elections, only 60 of 64 senatorial seats were filled. The senate is now down to 43 members after 17 senators resigned. Lott estimated that 80 per cent of these senators resigned because of personal reasons. He said he has talked to all but two of the senators who resigned.

When their meetings begin to lengthen because of more business to consider, ab senteeism could increase, Ackerman said. This year's Faculty Senate is changed structurally over last year's. In the past, it had 18 per cent representation of the faculty, Ackerman said. The senate consisted of 168 members last year. At the beginning of this year, that figure was lowered to 10 per cent representation of the faculty, Ackerman added. They also added represen tatives from the regional campuses, bringing their membership down to 121, he said. This figure includes 44 new members. Senators are elected for three year terms. "Faculty Senate is legislative in almost every aspect of college life," Ackerman said. "We exercise the functions of the entire faculty. It's votes are subject to the review of the faculty, the president, and board of trustees." NEW...
