Student Senate members plan to introduce a resolution tonight asking the administration to enforce current smoking policies on campus. The resolution also states that it does not support a smoke-free campus.

“Smoking is only allowed in the designated outdoor smoking areas adjacent to buildings,” said Student Senate Speaker Kent Ohms, quoting the campus smoking policy.

Another resolution recommends that Eastern’s yearbook, The Warbler, use students Panther Card pictures in it. If students wish to have a different picture, the resolution says that The Warbler will continue to offer a time and place to get their pictures taken. It also says that more students will pick the yearbook up if they are in it.

“Yeah we’d like a better way to do it,” said Nikki Sprehe, The Warbler editor, about getting students’ pictures in the yearbook. “But we don’t get new panther cards every year. . Everyone’s picture would be of them when they were a freshman.”

A bylaw change regarding office supplies will also be introduced.

The bylaw change proposes that certain expenditures be allowed without approval of the Student Senate. Office supplies, tuition waivers for the executive branch and the Student Senate speaker, and phone bills will not to be subject to approval if the bylaw is approved.

According to the Student Senate bylaws, any $50 expenditure needs to be approved by the Student Senate.

“We don’t want to spend valuable time that we can be debating or talking about student issues, students rights or better ways we can improve students’ lives on campus instead of having to worry about a little office supplies,” said Levi Bulgar, student vice president of business affairs. “We don’t want to waste our time with that kind of stuff.”

At last week’s meeting, the Student Senate approved two expenditures that were already made. Both of the expenditures were for office supplies. One was for about $430 for binders, dividers and toner. Another was for business cards for the executive branch and the Student Senate speaker.

While the tuition waivers for the executive branch and the Student Senate speaker are not submitted to the Student Senate, the bylaws state that they receive “compensation in the amount of 12 credit hours.”

Any of these expenditures would be reported to the Student Senate by the student vice president for business affairs, Bulgar said.

The Student Senate meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday in the Arcola-Tuscola Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
