Student Senate to see changes in structure
By Piper Schofield Staff writer
The structure of Student Senate should see a change for the better next semester, David Epstein, student body president, said yesterday.
Epstein said he had formed an ad hoc committee which would meet during the summer to create a plan for restructuring Senate.
The present Senate committee structure is in its third year of operation, Epstein said. There are five standing committees and two subcommittees. The previous structure provided for more committees.
"We will decide if it was wise to narrow down the structure, or if we should narrow it down even more," Epstein said.
Epstein said he had distributed an informal survey to senators a month ago, and the issue of greatest concern was the committee structure.
Some senators thought the committees should have more power, while others thought the committees should be abolished, Epstein said. The ad hoc committee should come to a decision on committee power.
Jason Krakew, Nunemaker senator and member of the ad hoc committee, said the committee would be taking suggestions from senators on exactly how possible restructuring should occur.
Student senates at other universities have a board system, Krakow said. Boards of students were

created to deal with specific problems.

A pool of students from which board members could be drawn would insure student participation in Senate, Krakaw said. When a problem arose, a board would be formed to provide a solution.
Krakaw told he had been a senator for one year, but that in looking at Senate history, it was obvious that he had been a senator with the committee structure.
"We need to decide how much power the committees will have, or if they will just be a rubber stamp," he said.
Krakaw the committees now had the power to kill legislation before a bill appeared before the full Senate.
"I think that's wrong," he said.
The ad hoc committee is scheduled to meet May 6. The restructuring plans should be completed and ready for Senate approval in September.
The ad hoc committee also will consider the possibility of creating a Senate judicial review board, Epstein said. Questions concerning Senate rules and regulations would be directed to the board.
"The rights committee has been becoming a judicial board, and I don't think that's right," he said.
