Raymond Reyes, Amy Abramson, Tom
Hess and Trav Robertson proposed the
amendment.
Under the new bill, the SG vice president
would nominate candidates for the
vacant seats. The Powers and Responsibilities
committee would select senators
based on those nominations.
"The bill changes the way the Senate
selection process goes," Robinson
said.
"What we are trying to do with this
is in response to Senator Wustrow's confirmation
and the flack that Vice President
Darcie Shively had received,"
Robertson said. "Instead of one person
making a decision, there'll be a com

the Powers and Responsibilities Committee."
In other Senate action, two bills dealing
with Senate meetings and the Freedom
of Information Act were passed.
The first bill passed concerns an amendment
to the Legislative Code with respect
to Senate and Committee meetings,
notices and actions and the Freedom
of Information Act. It was proposed
by Senator David Haller.
Various changes were discussed including:
Instead of committee chairs having
to notify the Senate clerk three days in
advance as to the date, time and location
of all meetings, this would be done
at the beginning of each semester.
Also, emergency meetings to discuss
matters not taken up before the regularly
posted meeting may be held.
"Before, there was no way in the bill
to meet in an emergency meeting," Haller
said.
In addition, pending legislation and
actions by the president of the Senate
