Senators pav tribute to Balfour
By CAROL HOCHSCHEID
Scott Writer
The Student Senate last night paid tribute to a long-time member and friend.
The Senate opened its meeting with a presentation honoring William Bafour, president of the Louisiana Bar Association.
Bailour, an ex officio member of the Senate, was introduced by Tedde Tasheff, student body president, as "the most helpful administrator and friend the Senate has
"It is plastic, but it's as good as we could do." "Tasheff said, as she handed Balfour a plaque commending him "for being more than a leader—for being a friend."
"OUR JOBS HAVE been made much easier and enjoyable by the help and encouragement Dr. Balfour has given us," she said.
About 40 senators and former Senate leaders attended a dinner held in Balfour's hotel.
"I hope that none of you think that because I no longer have the title of vice chancellor, I'm no longer interested in places," Balfour after accepting the plaque.
The senators gave him a standing ovation as he waved and left the room.
After hearing the officers' and committee reports, the Senate acted on three motions.
A bill establishing requirements for the
distribution of the Senate Record, which gives senators notice of Senate meetings and agenda, was passed unanimously.
THE BILL STATES that notice of regularly scheduled meetings and proposed legislation will be mailed or otherwise delivered to the院 at least five days before the meetings.
Only legislation that is announced in the Governor can be discussed, unless the Senate approves it.
In the case of special meetings, "a good faith effort will have to be made" to notify senators and fulfill the requirements of the bill, he said.
THE SENATE also voted unanimously to submit a petition regarding student representation on department committees and, in the event, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
The petition requests that departments send a letter to students majoring in their departments describing departmental elections. The letter should notify students of the changes in the composition of student representatives to decision-making committees in the department.
AFTER VOTING to suspend the rules to consider legislation not included on the meeting's agenda, the Senate discussed a petition beginning the University Events Committee.

and Privileges Committee will study the Events Committee for the rest of the semester and report its findings to the full Senate in December or January, he said.
From page one
Today the KU-Y will hold out leaflets and petitions about the Events Committee at a meeting in Washington on Friday.
Smith said the KU-Y would be violating University policy by not scheduling the petition table, but she expected that no one would try to stop the group.
JUST HOW THE Events Committee was established, what its scope of powers is, and to whom it is responsible seem to be unknown.

The committee had already been active in University administration for many years before the Student Senate drew up a plan to amend the Constitution and the Rules and Regulations written in 1972.
Mike Davis, University attorney, said, "The events committee, its jurisdiction and the courts have not handled it."
"THE WE'VE BEEN functioning people are supposed to apply with us before they set up a table on campus. That's not what we want, but we do." The folks here told me we've been going along with."
Davis said that he was uncertain whether the events committee had authority to regulate campus activities but said that the university be delegated somewhere in the University.
