SENATOR KIMMET stated this was out a while ago and if there were problems with it before now, they should have been brought up before now. Bylaws had sufficient debate on this, and everyone had opportunity to have say on this. SENATOR LAXAGUE feels the Executive Board has too much power as it is, and this is a good check on that power. SENATOR LAXAGUE yielded the floor to Scott Schwartz who addressed the Senate with the committee being put together incorrectly this year, its chairman should be chosen by the Senate, not by the Senate President. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PIDA questioned the comment that the Executive Board has too much power, believes there is already an adequate checks and balance in place for the Senate and Executive Board. The committee used to be referred to as simple the Rules committee which made the rules for the current session of the Senate, and it should return to that format.

SENATOR SOLOMON-The Bylaw does need better check and balance. 5 SENATE MEETING 26-12 / MARCH 4, 1996 SENATOR ANDERSON-There should be more involvement in the constructing of the Bylaw if ther this must controversy felt about it. SENATOR AGUERO—Commended Student Services Director Greenhalgh for a great job on Career c Commended Entertainment and Programming board for great job on Kim Peek lecture.

Make an effort to encourage your constituents to vote this week. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT PIDA-Time is limited. Cannot make all of the meetings that he is supposed to be attending. Asked for all the chairs of all the committees to meet with him to discuss direction of their committees and what the committee is currently working on so he can keep up with all the committee since he cannot attend all of the meetings. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE MOORE-Encouraged Senators to speak with PRESIDENT PIDA to be on a committee that he needs to delegate out. Career Day was a success. Agreed with comments from Carl Tolbert, has also heard this sentiment from other constituents. Did put a memo out to the committee chairs and the directors to find out how many seats, if any, are open on any one of the committees. Caucus next Monday at 5:30 p.m. Encouraged possible Senate involvement in an outreach program with children. SENATE PRESIDENT SMITH~Kim Peek was absolutely fascinating. Commended success of Career day. Directed toward the criticism he's had regarding Judicial Council, it does not say anywhere that he in charge or involved with that. Commended SENATOR PEREZ for being the only senator that came to him prior to the meeting to obtain his opinion about Bylaw 26-02. From now on, if the Senators do not speak up in the meetings, the minutes will reflect that the particular Senator could not be heard on the tape (inaudible), and the Senator is then responsible for submitting a typed form of what the Senators comments were.
