K Speaker of the Senate Jeff Anthony said he expects the Re gents’ resolution to be controv ersial. “Some senators are upset and want to approve the resolution,” Anthony said. “Others think it’s best to let a sleeping dog lie.” Another bill on the agenda proposes allowing students to drop a class after the Q-drop deadline without a penalty to their GPRs. Anthony said the Q-drop bill has been proposed to solve ine- ? [uities due to the lack of a uni- orm University Q-drop policy. Although he is satisfied, he said, with the Senate’s perform ance last semester, a calmer administrative environment will make their job easier this spring. This semester, Anthony said, the Senate plans to tackle prob lems such as student parking and over-enrollment. ‘the “'Nuclear weapons to be 3 topic of conference 3f The deployment of nuclear weapons in Europe will be dis cussed at a conference spon sored by the International Stu dents Association . and the Europe Club at 8 tonight, las takgp ; fighttS Dr. Horst Armbruster, pro- )ckthe lessor of physics at Texas A&M lanestc' lJniversit y. a nd Dr - J oh n D. narro , Robertson, political science pro- j ( fessor at the University, will address the issue: “Europe: eeline' Nuclear Battleground of the Su- n| q perpowers?” in 301 Rudder. :nt bubiir te cam John Todorivic, secretary- treasurer of the Europe Club, said the purpose of the confer ence is to discuss and explain the different prospectives with which the United States and Europe have viewed the re lationship toward each other and toward the Soviet Union.
