“The Student Senate is the gov
erning body of the students.”
This statement is quoted from
the college Regulations on stu
dent government defining our stu
dent senate. Today does this or
ganization reflect the opinions of
students by its constituted pow
ers ?
To many freshmen the name
was first mentioned last Friday
at the Muster. With their inter
est and knowledge of student gov
ernment how can the Student
Senate maintain true represen
tation of the students ?
The only remedy is to create
an interest and knowledge of hap
penings in our college. Mainly I
propose the class officers be ad
mitted to the Student Senate and
charged with the responsibility
to inform the class through meet
ings, etc. This will create the
class officer as a true represent
ative of his classmates.

ed certain policies which I am in
support of. Only with this sug
gested action I believe the Stu
dent Senate can reach its poten
tial.
The caliber and accomplish
ments of office holders would in
crease, creating a stronger and
more effective student governing
body.
I am seeking the office of re
cording secretary and if I am
elected will represent the student
body. With this in mind I be
lieve it is my duty to express my
position to enable the voters to
better choose candidates of his
choice.
In conclusion consider your
candidates for what they have
done and said for they are inter
ested in your student govern
ment.

Editor,
The Battalion:
Aggies, it is a pleasure to be
given the opportunity to give you
a little information about the role
of the Student Senate Student
Life Committee, the chairman
ship for which I am running.
Information on what the sen
ate has done and will do is lack
ing, but I believe the interest
shown by candidates this year
shows that something is being
done to promote this, our student
government body—the voice of
the A&M students.
, The Student Life Committee
handles such problems as policies
concerning Aggie traditions,
staff-student relationships and
policies of student life. It pro
vides liaison between faculty and
administration and the students,
as well as working with the other
three standing committees—Is
sues, Welfare and Public Rela
tions—in the investigations and
making of recommendations on
academic and social problems,
health and recreation issues and
the housing situation to college
governing bodies. There briefly
are the powers and responsibili
ties of the office I am seeking—
Student Life Committee Chair
man.
I pledge myself to work dili
gently to see ,that every matter
brought before the Senate re
ceives adequate appraisal and
persuit to insure that the wishes
of the student body are carried
out for the benefit of A&M.
