Residence Halls senator, that taking ballot boxes out of living groups would decrease voter turnout, and that the number of voters will
"Some of the credibility problems could be that students see Student Senate as Greek dominated," said Peter Gray, graduate student senator and one of the bills' authors.
"These bills were not meant to address apathy." Pyles said.
Gray and the bills' other authors asserted that the bill was not a problem that the bill was intended to feel.
BILL 021 was also viewed by some, including Student Body President Bert Coleman, as an attack on Greek voting by taking boxes out of Greek houses and other living groups.
Tuesday night Coleman said that both bills were "an attack on one living group by another."
"Some people have taken this bill as a direct
recommendation. I have no desire for this to be
a single-objected bill."
Referring to a threat by Coleman to veto Bill 021 if Senate passed it, Pyles said, "I certainly hope we can be a little bit above that kind of politics."
And Trump said that Senate's credibility was already so low that the possible loss of a few votes by taking the boxes out of living groups would not make much difference.
"It's not going to affect the real credibility of Student Senate," he said.
But the Senate disagreed and defeated the bill.
After the Senate failed to meet quorum and the meeting was adjourned, Pyles said the bill had been falsely made into a Greek versus non-Greek issue.
"This bill was defeated by a Greek vote," she said.
Earlier in the evening, Senate survived a quorum call by Tom Hall, business student
HALL SAID that Senate could not deal with the funding bills adequately with so few senators present.
But the Senate was two members above quorum at that time and went on to pass the budget as recommended by the Finance and Auditing Committee.
Loren Busby, Finance and Auditing chairman, said that was the first time in several years that the Senate made no changes in the committee's recommendations.

Although the State Board of Education has abandoned the 2.5 GPA and the admission test, the Board of Regents has picked up the challenge by hiring a new chairwoman, Sandra McMullen, chairwoman of the Regents.
Education
A letter from McMullen, circulated at the Board of Education meeting, said the Regents were prepared to adopt the almost identical curriculum to the Board of Education decided to abandon it.
The only difference between each board's proposal is the GPA requirement. The Regents advocate for a standard admitting students to school. Education work for extenizing circumstances, do not have a 2.5.
McMullen said the Regents would take formal action on the proposal at either their meeting today or tomorrow.
The Regents latched onto the proposal after the Board of Education discovered it had no authority to demand a 2.5 GPA and an admission test of Regents schools.
The Regents were initially opposed to the board's plan because of the rigid 2.5 GPA requirement and because they wanted to ensure autonomy of their schools, McMullen said.
voted to defer the use permit because of the possible historic value of the existing structure and to review alternate sites for the new building before acting on the request.

1. tunk the deferral was ridiculous," Biins said yesterday. "They already have the land. Why require them to purchase a new site that would cost them more than their present site?"
Penn House
But Shorz said she was in favor of saving as many older buildings in the city with architectural worth.
"If we tear down, then we will have lost one more house that could have been our little jewel." Shoutz said about the house, which is more than 100 years old.
LYNN GOODELD, director of Community Development, said if someone tried to rent the house, he would not let them because of its current substandard conditions.
"The wiring system of the house is not just inadequate, it is unsafe," Goodell said. "The plumbing system is unsanitary, the heating system is questionable—parts of it are dangerous—and there are some foundation problems."
But demolising the building would be a "colossal mistake," according to one east Lawrence resident.
"That building, right now, can be sold for a considerable amount of money," the resident, Richard Kersenbaum, 1112 New Jersey St., said yesterday. "I've seen houses in far worse shape than one converted into something very beautiful."
Kershenbahau said the Eldredge House, 10th and Rhode Island streets was in as bad a condition as Penn House, but since its renovation, it was now on the state's historic register.
The commission's deferral took one Penn House leader by surprise.
"I was surprised that some of them had difficulty in making a choice between a plan to upgrade the site and one that would support the preservation of a dubious structure," said Steve Fawcett, chairman of the Penn House advisory board.
"This is simply a structure that has not served its purpose."
CITY-OWNED LOTS in the 800 block of
Midtown, New York has been listed as a
possible site for the new building.
Fawcett said Penn House was opposed to moving from its current home on Pennsylvania Street to a more commercial area because its members liked the safety of having their building in a residential area with regular police patrols.

SOME OF YOU AREN'T LISTENING.
I tell you. Some people...
I tell you. Some people...
You buy 'em books. You send 'em to school. And
what do they do?
They must eat 'em.
I guess some people are just going to spend $50, $60, maybe $70 for a down vest, no matter what. You just can't talk them out of it
Listen to me. Save your money.
At SportsWear Outlet you can buy that same vest for $40.
30 Bucks! Do you believe it?!
That's about half what you'd pay somewhere else. And that goes for everything else I've got, too, because it's all at absolutely the lowest prices in town. Go ahead. Spend 70 bucks if you want to. But you know what I think about it.
IF YOU DON'T COME TO MY STORE YOU'RE JUST PLAIN CRAZY!
