that will be accomplished.
“It’s not realistic to expect a voting
seat,” he said, “but we desire student
input or, at least, student presence to
be aware of their actions.”
If created, the committee will con

the speaker of the Senate, the
speaker pro tempore, two members
of the Legislative Study Group and
two other senators.
The bill, if passed, will create the
third committee the Senate has
formed this semester and will dis
solve one created last month to re
search the same issue.
Besides forming two committees,
the Senate has not taken any other
legislative action this semester.

I A bill to create a Senate select
lommittee that will attempt to obtain
a student voting seat on the Texas
l&M Board of Regents was pre-
lented to the Student Senate
ednesday.
The bill was read to senators and

Student Body President Mason
Hogan said he is satisfied with the
Senate’s accomplishments so far, but
he acknowledged that there has'n’t
been much input from senators.
“Everything is not peachy keen
right now, but it takes a little time
(for a Senate to get going),” he said.
Hogan said he expects senators to
become more involved and make
some legislative proposals once they
get to know each other and get the
feel of how the Senate works. He
said a major reason that only two
bills have been passed this semester
is because many senators don’t know
how to draft one.
Nine newly elected freshman sen
ators and eight students appointed
to fill vacant positions were sworn
into office Wednesday and the Sen
ate approved six members to the
Student Government Judicial
Board.

'here theyW 111 irtment, who is leading crowd control and security
preparations for the annual bash, said officers will issue
cptions to drivers they see drinking.
J “It’ll be just like a traffic citation,” Cannaday said of
[the law, which made drinking and driving a Class C
! n)isdemeanor.
Pedestrians, however, will be permitted to drink and

walk, so long as they do so in the right direction, with
the proper frame of mind and without stopping.
Everyone in the rally “parade” must walk in the same
counterclockwise direction, and dawdlers will be en
couraged to move along by the 450 police and reserve
officers who will be on duty downtown, Cannaday said.
Foot traffic will move west on the north side of desig
nated streets and east on the south side, he said.
The “moving sidewalk,” as the continuous-motion
plan has been dubbed, was created by police several
years ago to reduce confrontations among celebrants.
