He stated that SENATOR AUER should never apologize and that she should listen to the debate going on and then make a decision based on that. He stated that the Senate needs to work on compromise and they should find a medium ground. There were 3 Senators that spoke 4 times and each time they said the exact same thing. He spoke with SENATE PRESIDENT KIMBROUGH on this issue and one of the rules in "Robert's Rules of Order" states that the 4th time a person wants to speak, the body has to vote on it. This helps eliminate redundancy and makes the meetings go smoother. He congratulated AGD and Lambda Chi Alpha and all of the other organizations that won awards.

The Senate keeps on getting darker because they are losing a little bit of sunshine and they have always come in with a lot smiles.
