also mentioned that freshmen would
have to make friends with upperclassmen
and rely on them for transportation.
He said he thinks this would promote
relationships between freshmen
and upperclassmen.
"For freshmen who don't have

Despite efforts by Tidikis and oth
ers in favor of the referendum, it didn't
pass. The senate passed another bill
during Wednesday's meeting concerning
the disqualification of SG candidates.
Currently, any candidates who violate
the elections codes can be disqualified
by the elections commissioner
only. The new legislation allows
disqualification of any student to be at
the discretion of the entire Elections
Commission, not just the commissioner.
The bill passed the senate with no
debate. A resolution calling for reformed
academic advisement procedures was
recently signed by Student Body
President Kim Dickerson and Student
