Executive Board Announcements and Summations STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT MILLS-Thanked the Senate for their attendance at the summer meeting. Glad that the new E-Board is in office. Has submitted new ideas for the coming year to work on as a group. Is looking forward to the new year and having everyone working as a team. SENATE PRESIDENT LAXAGUE-Thanked the Senate for a good first meeting. Liked the presence of debate within the meeting, good to have discussion in the meeting and encourages that type of debate throughout his term. Reminded the Senators that their vote is their voice, defend it and use it. Would like the Senators to suggest things to the Executive Board, namely himself. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT ROSENTHAL-I would like to take a few moments to out lime some of the goals and aspirations for the coming year.

First, all of we in student government must become more involved and proactive. We have an image on campus that is perceived as negative. We must work to change this immediately. I will have extended office hours and make myself available as much as I possible can. I believe in a n open door policy - this is an invitation to the Senators, Directors, Executive Board members and the student body to speak with me regarding any issues that affect them. Second, representation on campus committees has been lax. Studen
