1 Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, October 31, 1968 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle I SENATE SHORTS '•r«« ?:•: *• By BILL CARTER Student Senate President The controversial Political Speakers Resolution will be num ber one item on the agenda at tonight’s Senate meeting. Presi dent Rudder will have a repre sentative present to discuss the reasons why the Executive Com mittee voted down the resolution. Again, I want to remind you that all Senate meetings are open. Also, the site of the Senate meet ing has been changed to the con ference room on the second floor of the library. ★★★ David Maddox and his commit tee on Educational Procedures and Excellence has begun work with pass-fail courses as its first project. If you have an opinion concerning this project, you should contact either David or me. ★★★ Other topics to be discussed at the meeting include plans for this year’s Idea Exchange Con ference, a proposal for a change in football seating which will separate the graduates from the “I don’t think our dorm is ready for ‘Tricks or Treats’ yet!” Senate Has Earned Full Cooperation The three-part series on computer registration conclud ing with this issue gives, we hope, an adequate view of the system’s pros and cons. Quite a few highly-legitimate gripes against the system were aired at last week’s called Student Senate meeting, as reported Friday, and chances are good that more gripes will be heard at tonight’s Senate meeting. Hopefully, the most violent gripers can be convinced that all is not lost, and can be brought around to the view expressed last week by the Senate’s mainstream: That the system is a necessary evil which must be implemented be fore the inherent bugs can start being ironed out. We agree pretty closely with that mainstream view— another aspect of which is essentially, the following: Plan ners of the system and representatives of the president’s and registrar’s offices were, as they admitted, “somewhat remiss” in waiting until the eleventh hour to acquaint stu dents with the concepts. We can’t agree with those who suspect treachery in this failure; we see it simply as re grettable lapse in public relations by the administration. The Senate showed responsibility in letting students’ gripes be known, loudly, before securing a pledge from Registrar H. L. Heaton to work closely with a student committee throughout the procedure and to welcome any of its sugges tions for change in future registrations. “We’ll have a chance here to see if the administra tion’s verbal promises to support our attempts at solving student problems will be carried through with action,” Senate President Bill Carter commented Wednesday. “I have confidence that they will.” We share Carter’s confidence, particularly in the light of the spirit of cooperation engendered by a recent informal meeting of President Rudder with student leaders. Consider ing the situation in which the Senate was placed by that public-relations lapse, the Senate’s reaction was mature and constructive, and has clearly earned it the utmost coopera tion in making computer registration easier for the stu dents it represent to live with.
