Justin Toal, Speaker Pro-Tem- pore and a senior agronomy and business major, said the Senate is also considering a bill which would increase the per-semester hour student service fee from $10.92 to $11.62 and the Health Services Fee from $48 to $50. Toai said the Senate will discuss moving current polling sites. The sites in question are those at the Wehner College of Business Building on West Campus and Sbisa Dining Hall. Toal said the bill would move the Wehner polling site outside to the front of the building and the Sbisa site to the front of All Faith’s Chapel, weather permitting. Toal said that other issues were to be discussed at tonight’s meeting, but in light of the Bonfire collapse discussion will be postponed. “With Bonfire, everything has been put off and placed on the back burner so that we can for] resources on the tragedy," Manta Patel, chair oftlij and Transportation suh and a sophomore aerosj neering major, said theS not discuss issue of thee Routt Boulevard at thist Tiie Senate, Patel | cussed (lie question bud; back to committee.

Harding said the Faculty Senate re turned the recommendation to the AAC for further debate, while advising the AAC to hear more student input. Harding said the Faculty Sen ate’s main concern is that if the grade distributions are published without additional information, students may not be able to make a fully informed decision about which class to take. “A grade distribution alone does not say very much about the actual context of a course,” he said. “Stu dents should look at other sources of information to figure out if the class is right for them.” Student Body President Will Hurd, a senior computer science ma jor, said the Student Government As sociation will present a recommen dation to the AAC for a package of information to be displayed which include student evaluations, syllabi and professors’ comments along with the grade distributions.

Due to the nature of the tragedy and its profound impact on victims associated with these clusters of stu dents, Birch said SCS has conducted 16 group stress debriefings to help students cope with their losses. “We try to normalize the reactions of these students,” Birch said. “Any one can get frightened by the inten sity of the sadness and the sorrow that accompanies such a tragedy.” Birch said part of normalizing re actions allows students to understand that sadness and frustrations are a natural responses to such an event. “We try to let them know what they can do to take care of them selves in the grieving process,” he said. “It is important to keep life as normal as possible, to exercise and to relax.” Part of that normalization means returning to the daily routine of classes, Birch said. fHl, Th/S XS r U£LLo?)J Rems feo/v, 'GaJHo U^aJTS [To Be a zilliomire Your FRieNb /V1IDDLE/46ED [MEEDS You/? iHelp uith A JZUESTioa)...
