Newspaper Page TextPage 6 • Tuesday, September 15, 1998 Camp us alion Senate considers insurance bill BuSH Bike Racks Racism BY BRYAN BUCKMAN The Battalion Graduate students with fellowships and scholarships will have access to the same insurance benefits provided to graduate students with as- sistantships if a bill before the Faculty Senate is ap proved today at the first meeting of the fall semester. That resolution, which was recommended to the Senate by the Personnel and Welfare Committee, would allow fellowship and schol arship graduate students to participate in group insur ance plans like those provid ed to University employees and other graduate students. The resolution from the committee requests that mea sures to provide insurance to fellowship holders be imple mented before Sept. 1, 1999. The Faculty Senate will also review a proposal to change the name of the De partment of Meteorology to the Department of Atmos pheric Sciences. This change, if approved, would cause the graduate degrees awarded by the de partment to read “Atmos pheric Sciences,” while the undergraduate degrees con ferred would continue to read “Meteorology.” Requests to add both grad uate and undergraduate classes will be examined by the Faculty Senate. Four graduate and nine under graduate courses await the Senate’s approval. The Faculty Senate will also be considering a posi tion statement on distance education, the use of tech nology such as the Internet to teach students outside of the classroom. If approved, the position statement would encourage faculty and the administra tion to develop and use dis tance education resources. The Faculty Senate meets today from 3 to 7 p.m. in 601 Rudder Tower. Continued from Page 1 Grey spoke briefly to the crowd, introducing himself and pledging sup port for Bush. Organizations cooperating with AFB for Monday’s rally included the College Repub licans and Aggies for Ogden. Tables were set up be side Rudder Fountain to provide membership infor mation and to register vot ers in the Brazos County. Shelly Bates, co-chair of voter registration for AFB and a sophomore business management major, said she felt the ef fort for voter registration has been a success. “Tables set up in the MSG have already registered 200 voters,” Bates said. Continued from Page 1 Goldwater also said the bike overcrowding has been an is sue for a while. "Bikes have always had very restricted parking on campus," Goldwater said. “The Universi ty is responsible for providing parking spaces for the bikes. We are going to take a look at the campus on the whole and try to make a plan for solving this problem.’’ The Student Senate has also recently started to look at this problem. Justin Toal, chair of the Stu dent Services Committee, said the issue has been raised in the Student Senate. “The Student Senate is going to assess the situation and begin to research possible solution for this problem," Toal said. Continued from Page 1 Tarlow also said that many students fear reporting incidents because they come from countries where police violence is documented. “When you leave your home country, you still bring that country with you," Tarlow said. "If y° u were afraid of the authori ties in your home country, it is hard to break that stereo type some place else. 1 asked 45 Asian students how many of them have been beaten or have friends that have been beaten, and 44 raised their hands.” Members from the Resi dence Hall Association.
