Student Body President Michelle Murphy will deliver the state of the university address at the final student senate meeting of the semester at 7 p.m. today in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Isaac Sandidge, the current speaker of the senate, will deliver the state of the student senate address.

Senate members will also elect a constituent to serve as the new student speaker of the senate in the fall.

Isaac Sandidge said the two people who will announce their candidacy for the position are his younger brother, junior Jason Sandidge, and freshman Alex Boyd.

This election is Jason Sandidge’s second attempt at being elected to the position of speaker after losing the appointment for the spring semester to his brother in December.

The senate will also vote on four resolutions, including one intended to revise the Student Action Team bylaws and another to revise the Committee on Bylaw Revision Adoption.

The third regards the allocation of $470 for students to travel to the Illinois Board of Higher Education Student Advisory Committee conference at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for the weekend of May 29.

The final resolution is for an informal committee called “Senators In Training,” which will be composed of two veteran senate members in the effort to generate interest in student government and develop and prepare freshmen for leadership positions.
