SG senators are now expected to poll

ire of that requirement was questioned
Wednesday's Student Senate meeting.
These constituency reports require
ators to poll students each week Each
lator is responsible for asking five stults
general questions about the unisity
such as parking services, dining
ilities and TIPS services.
It really appalls me that Senate wants

lator Allan Tucker ."It's taking away
responsibility of [the Senate's] job.

But not everyone agrees that the rets
are worth keeping.
"The reports are mundane and totaledundant,"
Menees said. "Well nev*et
anything substantial done. Con;uency
programs limit out abilities,
need to get rid of the program, and,
tead, work on hardcore programs."
Senator Jon Robinson agrees.
"The program asks people questions
t they don't really care about," Robinsaid.
"If people need us, they'll cont
us. We are also students so we aldy
know what people feel. The whole
gram is a waste of time and energy,
lere's a strong opinion (students) will

Some senators said reform could be

we'll be taking a big step backward,

then we should come up with
a plan that everybody agrees on. Let's
not just get rid of it."
Senators feel that if reports were reformed
to address different questions
they would better reflect student concerns.
"What about parking? When is Student
Government going to do something
about it?" Menees said, "We are students,
we know whafs going on, we know what
students want. We have to challenge the
administration and get them to care. We
don't see Student Services Committee

In other business, Student Senate
confirmed two seats. Biology sophomore
Chico Stanley was confirmed for an Elections
Commission seat and English junior
Shadira Richardson was confirmed
for the remaining Liberal Arts seat.
Senators also voted to form an ad hoc
committee to work with Institutional Affairs.
Institutional Affairs oversees var
ious university committees. 1 hough the
motion passed, some senators objected
to the creation of the ad hoc committee
because university committees are not
required to report to Institutional Aflairs.
Senate also discussed involvement
with the AIDS Memorial Quilt project
and the Senior Service Project. The latter
is aimed at uniting the senior class
through student service.

"There were quite a few different

ould watch governments doing realy

are about a great deal," Love said. "As
omebody who likes politics, that was
lot of fun for me."
One of the most prominent issues
t the meeting was human rights.
"The standard is now set that
women's rights are human rights," .
/Ove said.
Some specific rights discussed were
women's rights to inherit property, to
ay no to sex, to go to school and to

calcifies, osteoporosis can occur.
Applicants are not required to have
previous research experience, but being
able to draw on previous experience
is helpful.
'Those interested in applying should
get involed in research, and get experience.
The more oriented you are and
the more you show that you're truly
interested, the better off you are," said
wu.
There will be an information session
on the Goldwater Scholarship
Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. in the Gressette
Room. Application materials will be
distributed at the session.
