The University Assembly voted to reduce the number of student represenlative seats in the University Senate to cut back on the student's high vot ing percentage of almost 35 per cent. Fisher said. "It's frustrating and really dis heartening because what it says is that the University Senate no longer wants students involved in the affairs at the University." Fisher said. All nine of the University Senate student representatives have been attending the month ly University Senate meetings since the beginning of January but cannot vote until they make the decision on who gets the seats, Simonds said Fisher said student govern ment could not come up with a fair method of choosing five rep resentatives to take the voting seats because each ASUO stu dent senator represent* just under 2,000 students Student representatives are not allowed under constitutional rules to cut that many students from the vote "If w# i house five then thorn four constituent* who aren't b»ing represented," Fisher Mid "IF* like cutting off a little over 7.000 student* front being given a voice from the senate We couldn't do that because it vn» late* our constitutional duty to represent ail students “ The student government has come up with three options to solve the problem, which will be voted on by nest year's ASUO Student Senate. They will either select five represen tatives and cut out a statable number of students, select one person to represent all the stu* dents or continue to have all nine representatives attend the meetings. Fisher said ”1 hope they can solve the problem before the new senate convenes in two weeks so they ran come as voters." Simonds •aid. ® can make a ® difference. ® RECYCLE ® TODAY!
