Com m enting on UB’s “forw a rd (Continued on Page $) Will Take Up Problem Of Student Expenses B y DICK M A B D m O S IA N The Student Senate Tuesday approved a sweeping pro gram for the COTning year designed to aid students in all phases of university life from leadership to finances. , Highlights of the program, advanced by President Ted Procas include a propWd student-faculty picnic, selection of an outstanding faculty member, a used book service and a leadership training program. Enthusiastically endorsing the program Mr. Procas said he felt that it was needed mainly since many Senate com mittees have never functioned with definite goals outside of their obligated constitutional duties. Mr. P rocas stated, \L a s t year’s^* Senate had no coherent program , and consequently w a s not quite as successful a s it conld have been. ’They did nothing b u t w h a t w a s outlined in the constitution.’’ He w e n t on to explain th a t these definite oonsUtutional duties are the very least these com m ittees should perform . W ith the new pro gram , every m a in Senate Com m it tee has certain projects for the year. I t w a s also brought out th a t m a n y of these projects m a y be long-term and m ight n o t possibly be com pleted in one year. Upon presentation of th e program , Mr. P rocas w a s confronted w ith one m ain com m o it am ending th e pro gram : T h a t the Student Public Re lations Com m ittee be given the problem of considering th e effec- FuU Senate Program, Page 5 Some focoDcies In The Senate?

A fter presenting the entire pro gram , Mr. P rocas moved for adop tion of the program fo r the year 1959-1960. The motion w a s whole heartedly approved. Dr. Siggelkow, present a t the m eeting, spoke on the project which he partlculariy urged H r .

L e t’s give the Senate and its president our sup port in their program .” O ther im p o rtant business a t the m e e ting included the appointm e n t of a tem p o rary G eneral Groimds Com m ittee headed by Senator Bill Brennison. One of th e com m itted's responsibilities is the arranging for the laying of the cornerstone of the new H e a lth Science Building, Novem ber 17. Mr. P rocas expressed his ap preciation to Dr. E d g a r B. Cale, vice chancellor for planning and developm ent who w a s m a inly re sponsible for allowing the com e r- stone cerem o nies to be handled entirely by students. Mr. Procas also felt t h a t in p a s t years, the Senators w ere very poor as liaisons between the individual com m ittees and the Senate. To avoid this, all Senators w ere then urged to join a t least one of the com m ittees. New Senate positions will also be filled on Oct. 20 and Nov. S: These a r e the division al representatives a n d the vioe president, positions which the new Senate has vacant. A bout this issue, Mr. Procas stated, “The Elections Oomfnittee, last year should have investigated the people running for the Senate more thoroughly than they had.” The Senate also decided t h a t the date for the next Senate Elections should be M arch 29-30, and the A r ts and Science S tudent Council Elections are scheduled f o r Nov. 4 . F a c u lty p resent a t the m e e ting w ere Dr. Siggekow, Dean of S tu dents; Miss D o rothy H aas, Co ordinator of Student A ctivities; Dean Scudder, Dean of W omen; Dr. Milton Plesur, and Gerald Repetski.
