discussion procedures
By i.-am. EaaJkBB
Yesterday the PtuOoot Seeet*
adopted a new method for considering bills. Student Body
President Phil Sherwood pre-
saelad has semester report and
a visual presentation and Lupe
Do La Cruz was elected to another semester as president pro
tern of the senate.
Legislative Vice President
Dsve Collins presented s bow
procedure for the discussion of
bills in ths sensts.
In the past when a Mil waa
introduced it supposedly automatically went to committee lor
discussion aad wss then soot
beck to the senate with recom

aanaears have passed motions to
override the committee structure, putting many Mils on the
floor Immediately for discussion

this two-third override rule by
requiring the author of a Mil to
submit the Mil to the legislative
vice president several days before the meeting. The author of
the Mil must st this time, declare if he plans to aak for a vote

Senators hope that the new procedure will reduce the number of
attempts at overriding the com-
