Student Senate
to consider
bylaw revisions
By TAMMY KIRK
Reporter
The Student Senate is meet
ing tonight in 204 Harrington
Giassroom Building to vole on
the Student Senate bylaws revi
sions. The Senate also will dis
cuss the midterm grades bill
and the announcement of
grades bill.
The bylaws govern the Sen
ate, as opposed to the constitu
tion which governs the Univer
sity. Parts of the bylaws have
been revised in past years, but
not as extensively as this year,
says Sean Royall, vice president
of the Rules and Regulations
Committee.
The revisions entail deletion

of obselete material, word trim
ming and word changes for
clarification, Royall says. He
says every bylaw was at least
looked at for revision, if not ac
tually changed.
Some of the most important
revisions, Royall said, deal with
the emergency status of bills
and presentation and availabil
ity of legislation to the Senate.
The Academic Affairs Com
mittee will handle the dis
cussions on the two bills involv
ing grades. The midterm grade
bill deals with whether or not
midterms will be dropped, says
David Alders, speaker of the
Senate. The announcement of
grades bill deals with teachers’
written policies on how grades
are determined, given to the
students at the beginning of the
semester, Alders says.
