Though they won’t be addressing any new business, President Lou Hencken and other university vice presidents will attend tonight’s Student Senate meeting.

“They’re going to answer senators’ questions,” said Speaker of the Senate Kent Ohms. “It will pretty much be like what they did for Faculty Senate. This is what they (administrators) are working on. What questions can they (administrators) answer?”

Ohms anticipates the President’s Council will arrive around 7:45 p.m.

Student Senate has no new pieces of legislation at tonight’s meeting, but the final vote for First Night funding will take place.

The First Night piece of legislation will pay for the costs of First Night that were not covered by donations. Student Senate will end up paying $2,838.98.

Donations from Alumni Services, Parent’s Club, the Office of Orientation and the Office of Minority Affairs covered $2,700 of the $5,538.98 total expenses.

Also on the agenda: one of two vacancies in the senate may be filled.

According to Ohms, Richard Luce, a continuing education student, has been offered one of the vacancies.

“He’ll bring a different perspective to the senate,” Ohms said. “He (Luce) said he served nine years in the Army.”

The other off-campus senate seat is still open, and applicants have until Sept. 27 to apply. Then the Student Senate will run the remainder of the semester with an open seat.

Other senate business for the meeting will be a demonstration of the Turning Point voting system, which may be used by the senate.

Turning Point will allow Student Senators to vote simultaneously by keypad in Student Senate meetings. The University already owns the system.

The meeting will be at 7 p.m. today in the Arcola/Tuscola Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
