ISA Senators Kill Legislation ISA senators were deadlocked Tuesday evening over an amend ment which proposed that the offi cers of the ISA executive council be given a vote and a right to dis cuss and introduce legislation to the senate. The only objection voiced by the senators towards the new amend ment was found in the clause that provided a senatorial vote for the executive officers. Unable to decide on this amendment, senators Craig, V^ebb, and Moore of the Yeomen assured1 the senate they were will ing to recirculate a new petition for an amendment that would be favorable. As the group was un able to make a decision, Senator Fred Samain, who presided over the group in the absence of Chair man Gene Conklin dismissed the question until the next meeting and opened the meeting for new busi ness. Other senate discussion included a vote of confidence for the ISA fall social program and the possi bility of an independent student forum for the immediate future.
