The bill passed with a vote of 43 for, none against and two absten tions. The bill that passed was a revised version of the original pub lic forum bill which failed in the Senate at the Feb. 4 meeting. ‘ Tliis bill included the addi tion of a ten minute maximum time limit on speakers as well as moved the time of the forum from before announcements to before old busi ness. “The beauty of it is that if no one speaks, we just move right on in the agenda,” said SGA Executive Treasurer-elect Jim Crotts, who pro posed the original and the revised bills. “I hope the students utilize [the public forum time]Crotts said. “The goal is that this will allow students to speak out about what is directly affecting them.” He said that while it would be preferable that students tell their senators when they have a problem or issue they want addressed, the public forum time will be another outlet through which students can address the SGA. It’s a chance to talk to all the senators at once,” Crotts said. “This way they can go straight to the source.” The bill would only provide a public forum time on a trial basis, pending the approval of SGA Ex ecutive President Mark Richter. see FORUM, page 5
