Senate confirms Exec appointments
The action fills the EMU
Board's at-large position
and a finance senator seat

The ASUO Student Senate re
convened for fall term Wednes
day night in the EMU Board
Room, confirming two new Exec
utive appointments.
Sarah Wiley was confirmed to
the position of finance senator.
She has served on the EMU
board, as Panhellenic President
and as chapter president of Chi
Omega.
Robin Nelson was approved
unanimously to the EMU board’s
at-large position. Nelson also has
served as president as Sigma Kap
pa.
“I’m new,” Nelson said. “I
haven’t done a lot as far as ASUO
involvement. ... Having fresh
ideas is a good thing.”
Discussion about appointments
to the University Senate was
eventually set aside.
“Figuring out the process about
how to get more senators on the
University Senate would be better
than making a decision right
away,” ASUO Vice President
Morgan Cowling said.
The Student Senate moved into
its new office: Room 319 on the
third floor of the EMU, formerly
occupied by the Lesbian, Gay, Bi
sexual and Transgender Alliance.
Senator Wylie Chen said that
the third-floor office isn’t visible
to students.
“It’s close to the EMU Board
Room, which is ridiculous be
cause we’re not here to serve our
selves just because it’s a closer
walk,” Chen said.
The new office is larger and has
windows, though it is farther
from most student groups.
“I think there’s groups that de
serve that room more than us,”
Senator Dan Reid said. “We don’t
even need an office.”
Senators will be staffing a griev
ance table on campus in the up
coming month.
“We try to be visible,” said
Michael Olson, Summer Senate
president. “Students can air their
gripes tous.”
The grievances usually draw
individual students rather than
groups, Senator Selena Brewing
ton said.
“Groups have a lot more av
enues,” Brewington said. "We
had some people, but it’s hard to
get people super-excited about it
unless they want money."
Nominations were made for
senate offices of president, vice
president and ombudsman, who
deals with grievances. Selena
Brewington and Michael Olson
were nominated for president,
and Spencer Hamlin and Wylie
Chen were nominated for vice
president. The nominations for
ombudsman included Sarah Wi
ley and Jereme Grzybowski.
The ASUO Student Senate is
made up of 18 elected senators.
Nine finance senators serve in di
visions of three on the EMU
board, the Athletic Department
Finance Committee and the Pro
grams Finance Committee. The
nine remaining Academic Sena
tors are chosen to represent de
partments by the chosen major of
each.
The Senate represents students
in meetings and committees
where students and administra
tors co-govern, including student
personnel, University housing,
campus design and University
budgeting.
