too strident. Student Body President Schuyler
Houser, who was present at the meeting, said she
would have endorsed the resolution, but added
that the language should have been changed.
“It should have been more positive and
encouraging,” said Houser, a senior industiral
engineering major.
Houser said the recent criticism of administra
tors is unfair.
“When you consider the resources and the
man hours that have been devoted to this, there’s
no question that a lot of people have been work
ing very hard to make sure Bonfire returns and
that it’s safe,” Houser said. “Some students
aren’t keeping in mind that people are working
very hard to make this happen and that we’re
doing our best.”
Also discussed at the meeting was the Q-drop
Compromise Bill. The bill, which will be voted
on later this semester would ask administrators to
extend the Q-drop period 10 days so that students
would have until the 60th day to Q-drop.
Sen. Lara Pringle, a junior finance major, said
the bill would be helpful to students because it
would allow for 20 percent more class time to go
by before students would have to decide whether
or not they wanted to Q-drop. She said that it
would also allow students to have a better idea
what their expected grade in the class would be
since 70 percent of the course work is completed
by the 60th day of class compared to 50 percent
that is completed by the 50th day. She added that
this gives time tor another test to be taken or
another paper turned in.
Pringle added that new technology has made it
possible for the Q-drop date to be moved back.
“The reason why we haven’t always had Q-
drop until the 60th day of class is because the
advisors said that they couldn’t handle the number
of Q-drops that would happen on that 60th day of
class because that also goes into registration for
the next semester of classes,” Pringle said. “The
reason that now they are better ablJ to handle that
is because of new technological advances and
things are now done on the computer and not actu
al paper.’’
Pringle said that for the new Q-drop period to
be enacted, the bill must first be passed by the
student senate then by lhe Faculty Senate and
finally by the Academic Operations Committee
composed of faculty and staff. She said that the
new Q-drop deadline would not be ready for
implementation until the Fall 'HXP semest *r
