SENATE ROUNDUP

SALP leadership awards

The Student Activities and Leadership Programs are considering changing the method used to disperse student leadership awards. The awards, which are provided to students in leadership roles, currently require a paper to be written each term as well as an application to be filled out. Under the new proposed method, students would be required to take a two-credit course in place of the paper, and enrollment in the course would be limited to 100 students.

Get out the vote

Elections Board Chair Ari Wubbold announced that four pairs of candidates would be running in the elections for the 2011–12 school year. Nearly all other candidate positions are filled as well. ASPSU is now in the process of creating informational non-partisan material to inform the student body of the candidates. Casey Dreher, Oregon Student Association campus organizer, announced that 30 of the 80 largest classes on campus have agreed to allow ASPSU members to perform class raps during the courses.

Senate Finance Committee

The Senate Finance Committee bylaws will be finalized by the next meeting. Also, any empty seats will be evaluated or filled. Student Senator Adam Rahmlow announced that he attended the Intercollegiate Athletics Board’s meeting in order to evaluate the amount of student fees that go into Athletics. Currently, student fees fund 25 percent of Athletics.  ?
