Battalion Staff
Student Body President Pat
Pearson announced his legisla
tive plans for 1982-83 during
the Texas A&M Student Gov
ernment meeting Wednesday.
Pearson said he would like
the Senate to establish a central
, quiz file for the University and
i an academic referral service in
I which students would serve as
! advisers to their peers prior to
! pre-registration.
He also indicated that the
Senate constitution would be re
vised and that campus speaker
policies, election regulations
and the parking situation would
be reviewed.
Six Senate seats were vacated,
Brian Terrell, speaker of the
Senate, announced. Positions
vacated were the College of
Agriculture junior representa
tive, the Krueger/Mosher repre
sentative, the off-campus Ward
I representative and three rep
resentatives from off-campus
Ward II.
Applications for the vacant
positions will be accepted by Stu
dent Government from today
through Wednesday.
Senators will elect a new vice
president for external affairs to
replace Jay Holland who va
cated his position, Terrell said.
The election will be held during
the next Senate meeting.
Jolie Mailhos, vice president
for academic affairs, said
Charles McCandless reviewed
the Senate’s request for ending
common night exams. McCand
less, interim vice president for
academic affairs, said he would
reconsider the request after the
fall semester if students are still
dissatisfied with exam times.
The Senate approved a
budget of $40,621 for the 1982-
83 school year — a 1.8 percent
increase over last year’s budget.
In addition, senators were
urged to record student com
plaints on a student opinion sur
vey so the Senate can discuss and
solve current campus problems.
The student services commit

university committee bill, uni
versity drive parking bill and
academic visibility bill in com
mittee.
In addition, Greg Bates, vice-
