Senate rejects committee’s
academic reapportionment
by Cyndy Davis
Battalion Staff
The Student Senate failed to
approve the transfer of one Sen
ate seat from the College of
Agriculture to the College of
Engineering, which was sug
gested by the Rules and Regula
tions Committee at Wednesday
night’s meeting.
The Rules and Regulations
Committee is required to recom
mend adjustments in the distri
bution of Senate seats annually,
according to the Senate by-laws.
To find out how many posi
tions each college or living area
is entitled to, fall enrollment fi
gures for each are divided by
total Texas A&M University en
rollment. This figure is then
multiplied by 38, the number of
Senate seats available in either
the living areas or colleges,
Rhonda Rhea, student vice pres
ident of rules and regulations
said.
The number derived is
rounded to the nearest whole
number and this is the number
of senate seats given to this col
lege or living area, she said.

Speaker Pro-tempore Mike
Wolff said it was unfair to candi
dates involved to reapportion
Senate seats after filing for
spring elections had closed.
“Let’s keep the rules the same
all the way through the game,”
he said.

If passed, the new positions
would have had no bearing on
the elections, student body Pres
ident Ken Johnson said.
The next session of the Sen
ate would have to deal with the
situation, he said.
Also, senators ejected Sena
tor Fred Seals from the meeting
for eating Oreo cookies. This
followed a Senate policy estab
lished at the last meeting which
prohibited food from the meet
ings.
“It’s stupid for cookies to
hold up a meeting,” one senator
said.
Jeff Anthony, speaker of the
Senate, first asked Seals to put
away his cookies, but Seals
ignored his request. Anthony
then requested Seals leave the
room, which Seals also ignored.
Seals was then ejected from the
meeting by a vote from the
Senate.
Anthony later explained that
complaints were made by Uni
versity officials about the poor
condition the Senate left the
room in after each meeting.
In other action, senators
voted not to appoint Matt
Woodruff to the College of Li
beral Arts Senior Senate posi
tion, though he was approved
favorably by the internal af fairs
committee. Woodruff was re
interviewed for the position af
ter the Judicial Board ruled that
his application be re-considered.
Anthony, however, failed to
declare the College of Liberal
Arts Senior position open for
applications.
Constitutional revisions, ex
pected to be acted upon tonight,
were tabled. If the revisions are
not voted upon in the next meet
ing — which is also the last meet
ing of the 1981-82 session —
the revisions will automatically
be thrown out.
