The Student Senate has a full plate of business at its final meeting of the semester tonight, and all of it has implications for next semester.

Student Government will be announcing the results of the elections that were held Monday and Tuesday, and will swear in any of the new student senate members elected.

The two parties on campus that ran in the elections are the Student United Party and the United Party for Students.

The senate will also vote on the University Board for its Mainstage and Special Events committees, costing $10,980 and $25,000 respectively.

The bills are being introduced as emergency legislation for some time in order to give UB a chance to have its events approved before the semester ends.

Leah Pietraszewski, student vice president for business affairs, announced this plan several weeks ahead of time to the senate and allowed UB to present the costs at last week’s senate meeting.

Senate Speaker Adam Martinelli will deliver the State of the Senate at the meeting and Student Body President Cole Rogers will follow up the State of the University speech.

Martinelli said the new senate speaker will be voted on after the election results are decided.

Continuing business from last week will include the tabled bylaws for the Suicide Awareness Initiatives Committee. The committee is in the process of becoming an unofficial, part of the Student Senate.

Also coming up for emergency legislation is reimbursement of $103.43 to Student Executive Vice President Levi Bulgar, student executive vice president, who was invited to Springfield last Thursday to be the student representative on Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s Campus Safety and Student Mental Health Task Force.

The cost covers travel expenses to Springfield only, and will appear on the agenda at tonight’s senate meeting because of how little time the senate has left to vote on proposals.

Martinelli said it would be easier to make the current proposals emergency legislation instead of making them wait until next semester.

The senate meets at 7 p.m. in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
