The Student Senate approved a slightly revised agenda and moved to discuss a new bill during Tuesday’s meeting.

Chief of Staff Alex Mace, President Austin Prentice and Endowment Chair William Badarak authored the bill titled “A Resolution Concerning Student Senate Membership Recordkeeping.”

The bill proposes to create an easily accessible digital archive of all senate related documents. This will also create an email listserv of all senate alumni so that they can stay connected.

All current senators will be included in this list so that information distribution can be centralized.

They believe this will be a way to not only connect the senate and streamline communication, but also to help raise funds for senate scholarships.

Senate also voted on the bill “Resolution to Honor the Services of Clarence “Shorty” Perkins and Alphonso ‘Buck’ Buchanan.”

This bill was presented at last week’s meeting, but was tabled by Lyle Senator Christian Genco.

The bill will honor Perkins and Buchanan’s combined 70 years of dedication and service to SMU.

Senate also voted on the Finance Committee’s funding recommendations.

Graduate Women’s Organization and the Public Relations Student Society of America were granted their full requests of $1,180 and $3,180, respectively.

The Graduate Economics Club was awarded only $1,200 of the requested $2,400.

Secretary Martha Pool also wanted to remind all senators to keep up with their office hours, and “follow procedures and rules in accordance to the bylaws of the senate.”
