SG Senate 1 on unexcusf By STEPHEN C. GUIIFOYLE Staff writer The SG Senate took a stand on attendance at its meetings with the passage of a bill and a resolution Wednesday to prevent uncxcused absences. The resolution, urging expelled unf tn lief ennotfl r\r\ rhnir resumes, was first introduced by James Brown, Powers and Responsibilities Committee chairman. When another senator asked what the resolution could accomplish, Brown said, "All we can do is ask them. This is just a resolution. It is not a bill and not enforceable." Brown then introduced a bill, which he >aiu v>a.> LiuuitwuuK, ivi anuw uiv; publication of a list of senators who miss senate meetings without an excuse. Specifically mentioning The Gamecock as a source of publication, Brown said the bill look a strong stand on the issue. The bill was amended to include the districts of the absent senators and to allow them one week to explain their absences to the Senate Rules Committee. It passed unanimously. Another senator proposed adding an amendment to send the absentee list to the USC records office as a part of the students' permanent records, but this action was postponed. Sen. Harry Sharp's resolution for the Academics Committee regarding student athletes also was passed. van Well Continued from pagi TSTTcccH vide IcH ding al I A fia&^^jjB added I I F^^Wia JWB B the pai I KmPpgJH B mJI - fig nuclcal I W&g.

Sharp said the standards were a 700 score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test and a C average in high school. He said the resolution was not racial, and he was not sure whether the athletics department was already in compliance with the NCAA. Sen. Ed Sookikian, speaking on the resolution, said academics come first at USC. "Everything else is extracurricular," he said. "There is a minimum 2.0 for being in the student senate, and there should be a minimum 2.0 for athletes." The resolution passed, but with some objections. Sen. Rodney Brown said the majority of the senators had not read the NCAA proposition. Sen. Leroy Gadsden agreed. "It's unethical," he said. Another bill passed Wednesday will aiiow nccnsing 01 student organizations during the summer. Sen. Cclestine Snipe introduced the bill for the Student Organization Licensing Committee. According to the bill, the SCi president would appoint an interim chair for SOLC if a vacancy existed in the office of secretary, and the secretary would appoint an interim chair if the president is not in attendance. 9 1 gue between the two was severely important lire peace.
