STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Student Association Senate met Monday. The following were
discussed:
■ The senate approved a new student organization, the Biomedical
Engineering Student Association.
■ Candidates for new student representative positions are currently
being interviewed. The representatives will be introduced to the SA
Senate at next week's meeting.
■ SA Parliamentarian Rudy Fink is trying to determine what students
think about fundamental changes in the SA constitution. E-mail
him at rudyfink@rice.edu with comments.
■ The possibility of converting the Wiess College land to an intramural
field once the college is torn down was discussed at length. The
importance of greenspace on campus was also stressed by stu-
dents. Several students are currently working on a general state-
ment voicing student concern about greenspace, focusing on the
future of the Wiess plot of land.
■ Senators considered a proposal for a T-shirt reading, "Rice: A great
place to live in eight years." Proceeds from the T-shirt sales could be
used for a campus beautification project.
■ The University Standing Committee on Public Lectures is seeking
student input on which speakers to have in order to increase
attendence for the President's Lecture Series. The lecturer should
speak on a subject of interest to more than one segment of the Rice
population. E-mail Scott Berger ( berger@rice.edu) with ideas.
■ A majority of students present voted in a straw poll to support making
uniforms optional at Autry Court. Most LPAP instructors have already
made the uniforms optional in their classes. Students discussed the
safety aspect of keeping those who aren't members of the Rice
community out of Autry Court.
The next meeting will be Monday, Sept. 18 in Farnsworth Pavilion, Ley
Student Center.
