Show GOVERNMENT Student Senate The Student Senate, legislative body of the University, did their job with determination. This year they planned for student health insurance, joined the NSA, continued investigations on parking, and argued joint-split competition. Through this body, the Union Building Board was given increased responsibility, rights of the Chronicle to first release of university news was insured, and the honor system was debated. An important controversy arose over revising the ASUU Constitution. Part of the amendments called for sub-dividing the Senate into a Senate of elected representatives and an Activity Council of IFC, Panhellenic, publication, AWS, AMS, and activity representatives. These amendments were voted on by the school during class elections in the spring. Senate members, led by Bill McConahay, included, besides the activity presidents mentioned above, class presidents, elected senators from the classes, and the student body president ex-officio.
