Sen. Amy Black presented a bill to appoint eight new senators. This resulted in a lenothv dehatp and an individual vote on each candidate. Sen. Stanley Davis requested that senators vote on each of the appointments rather than as a whole. He also pointed out that debate on any of the appointments must be allowed according to the senate codes. One of the candidates was voted down and five others were accepted unanimously. Davis took the floor against one of the candidates for appointment because of the candidate's actions in past elections. He remained ambiguous about the definite reason for his debate and refused comment later. "I would just go further to say that I do think when we make ap pointments to the senate we need to be cautious of who we appoint and we need to be cautious of the fact that Student Government represents every student on this campus and it is not the purpose of the Student Government or the ' senate to appear before the stu1 dent body as one sided and biased on any one issue," Davis said. Black said the requirement for applicants is that they have a grade average of 2.0 and all the applications are checkcd by Woody Carrothers, student affairs vice president. Besides the application, each candidate must be interviewed. Sen. Frank Peloquin told i senators the importance of character in selecting applicants. Registration chai Summei | through AMANDA COLSON News reporter Students planning to take classes this summer should be aware of some important changes in summer school registration. Most of the changes will occur in registration appointment card v pick-up and class payment, said i Bob Askins, editorial assistant " for the office of the registrar. * Advisement is mandatory for all undergraduates, and precautions are being taken to ensure !they receive proper advisement. Advisement is required to get the appointment cards for entrance into the coliseum to pre-register, / Askins said. A page in the master schedule will tell students where appointi ment cards can be picked up ac cording to their majors. Notification of advisement appointments will not be mailed to students, Askins said. Even undeclared students should be under a college, said Linda Woollen, director of ig with debt taking risk y enate reads odes "I think the character of an individual is something that is very germainc because this is Student Government and we need so meonc as a student senator that can deal with all students no matter what they arc, he said." Sen. Mike Swindell refuted Davis' arguments by saying senators should put behind them any personal differences in selection because " the whole idea is for not everyone here to have the exact same views and that's why we have more than one senator." Many senators were confused by the debates because those who ~i *: _~r 1 wtit ucuaiiug icium'u iu ue specific about the reasons for arguing against the candidate. Davis said a lot of the senators were not aware of this candidate's involvement in past elections. Davis requested a role call vote and the candidate in question was refused.

If they do not know what college they are under, the registrar's office can tell them. Once this has been determined, the student should follow the directions in the master schedule for that college. For summer classes, bills will not be mailed to the student's permanent address, Askins said. He also said students can receive an unofficial bill and pay at Petigru Room 206 from April 29 to June 2 or in the coliseum June 4 to 5. Schedule cancellation for failure to pay will be June 8. For the second summer session, payment will be in Petigru from June 22 to July 7, and in the coliseum on July 10. The new procedure is required to help ensure all undergraduates receive advisement, Askins said. Students can find out who their advisors are by calling their colleges. Master schedules are available in the Petigru lobby. vith concert See page 3 \
