Every student that attends school
faces tuition and other financial burdens.
A common way to help make money
less of a problem is by receiving
scholarships and financial aide.
In April 1997, the Barry M.
Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence
in Education Program will be awarded
to college juniors and seniors for
thel997-98 academic year. The
Goldwater Scholarship program was
designed to provide opportunities for
outstanding US. students with excellent
academic records, and who are
interested in careers in mathematics,
the natural sciences and engineering.
In 1986, the United States Congress
granted authorization to the Barry M.
Goldwater ScholarshiD and Excellence
in Education Program to honor Senator
Barr^M. Goldwater by establishing
the program in his name. The honor

last night.
Menees bases his legislation on the
existence of what he terms the 'Reverse
Theory,' so named because Menees is
taking what he calls a reverse route to
gain students' respect.
Menees plans to introduce legislation
that benefits the senators first, thereby
elevating the status of senators and
assigning respect to a previously
disrespected legislative body.

Theory is because if s hard to carry out
bills and get students interested in what
we're doing for them unless we have their
respect, their attention, and their desire
to help," Menees said.
His bill would do just that, Menees
believes, by clearly establishing members
of senate as students who have a reason
to work for students and the university.
Students will have a reason to respect
them because senators get something
for what they do, Menees said.
"All of a sudden, the student senate
is going to be God compared to other
students," he said.

well.
Menees expects the bill to pass in the
senate, and he has received votes of
support from several senators, including
Sen. Marcus Gardner and Sen. Matthew
Richardson.
Richardson, though, expressed concern
over possible student reception, saying
that perhaps the emphasis should be
placed on increased control of funds,
rather than on perks and privileges.
