Titled "Who's Profiting and flow," the symposium aims to pro mote ethical and environmentally friendly business practices. It will feature various panels and keynote speakers, including a Friday-night debate titled "Global vs. Local," which coordinators say should be the highlight of the weekend. "Hopefully it will draw a big crowd," Morse-McPhee said. "It will be a pretty lively debate." A board of student volunteers from the Environmental Studies program, the masters in business administration program and the Department of Planning Public Pol icy and Management planned the symposium for about a year. "The board consists of a very di verse group of people, which makes things interesting and challenging," Morse-McPhee said. "But we defi nitely will have a better symposium because of it." The symposium will have four main keynote speakers from various companies and organizations. In formation about the speakers can be found at www.uoregon.edu/~sbs.

The twelve newly elected senators say they were promised a $175-per month stipend but are receiving only $125. "If in the real world you make an $8,000 mistake, don't show up to work the next day because you're fired," Sen. Adrian Gilmore said. "To me, it's a non-forgivable mistake." Shortly before calling executive ses sion, the senate debated how to rectify the situation, whether by a special re quest, a resolution or other measure. But many senators expressed concern that raising their own pay would gen erate a negative perception of the stu dent senate. "The fact that we would have (raised our stipend) could have creat ed speculation about our motives for doing so," Senate President Ben Strawn said. Senators also expressed concern that the senate would sacrifice equal pay if they raised the salaries of just the 12 newly elected senators. "I think it's a bad idea to have some senators making more than other sen ators," Sen. Kevin Curtin said. After a lengthy executive session, the senate reopened the meeting and creat ed a five-member ad hoc committee to study the issue. The committee will re port back to the full student senate at a special meeting Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. In committee updates, Sen. Kevin Day relayed student concerns regard ing the rapid sellout of Civil War foot ball tickets Tuesday. Day said many students hold the erroneous belief* that tickets must be distributed over two days. "Demand was so high yesterday, that it was the first time that tickets went out in one day," Day said. He added that an upgraded computer system helped the ticket offices sell out faster than ever before. Contact the campus/ federal politics reporter atchuckslothower@dailyemerald.com.
