nt Council is reorganizing
sure better representation
uate students,
he reorganization will in-
Tnore members on the
council and will give more speci
fic jobs and titles to its members.
Currently, the reorganiza
tion is in the planning stage. It
will be put into effect after the
March 29 student elections. The
first meeting with the new mem
bers will be April 20.
The council promotes social
and academic activities for gra
duate students and attempts to
help them deal with their prob
lems. Graduate students are
represented by council mem
bers from each field of study.
Currently, only 10 of 35
council seats are filled, Council
president Ken Fredeen said.
One reason the council seats
are unfilled is because potential
members are not pleased with
attendance requirements, Fre
deen said. The reorganization
should help that problem.
Another reason for the lack of
council members, Fredeen said,
is because members have res
igned and have not been re
placed.
He said he hopes the council
seats will be filled during the stu
dent elections at the end of
March.
Part of the reorganization will
include acquiring new programs
for the council, which repre
sents more than 5,500 graduate
students. The council also hopes
to bring graduate students more
recognition on campus.
“The campus revolves
around the undergraduate stu
dents and I think this causes
some problems with graduate
students,” Fredeen said.
One program planned by the
council is to have a special guest
at each council meeting.
