how that system works," said Su
gioka. "It's not an easy process to
lead."
Many senators expressed con
cern about placing specific re
quirements on candidates.
"I think that in Senate elections
the voters should be the ultimate
decision-makers concerning who
will or who will not represent
them," said Community Concerns
co-chair Tony de Velasco.
"I do think it could be helpful
and I would like to see it strongly
encouraged but I think the purpose
of Senate is to represent the stu
dents," said Student Services Chair
and former President James Green.
"I think that requiring the president
to have Senate experience is too
limiting because it limits the can
didates to a select group."
Green also said that the pro
posed addendum left "too much
room for interpretation" because it
does not specifically define "regu
larly attended" or specify whether
or not a candidate must be an ac
tual member of Senate.

"The work Laura and Bryan
have done is excellent; it's con
structive," said President Joy
Jansen. "It's something I'm totally
supportive of."
"The last two years have had
quite a bit of turmoil in Senate,"
said Sugioka. "I believe that's

SPECIAL PROJECTS COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED
CHANGES FOR THE COMMUNITY SENATE CONSTITUTION:
1. Tickets are only required to carry a
candidate for the offices president, vice
president, and a candidate for one of the
two remaining positions, secretary and
treasurer. The fourth member may be
appointed.
2. "Presidential candidates shall have
regularly attended Senate meetings for
two full semesters upon taking office."
. 3."Vice-presidential candidates shall
have regularly attended Senate meet
ings for 1 full semester, or been on ju
dicial or Res. Hall board for 1 full se
mester upon taking office."
4.'Treasurer candidates shall have
two semesters of budget committee ex-
Community Senate."
"It's not our job to decide who's
qualified, it's the purpose of the
election," said Green.
The Community Senate meeting
Wednesday ended without a call
for consensus.
"They still have a fundamental
debatable political issue that hasn't
been resolved," Olds said.
"Several senators spoke in terms
of 4 I feel' instead of having talked
perience." (Candidates without this ex
perience may petition to the election
committee chair for suspension of the
qualification.)
5. In special instances, potential can
didates with outside experience may pe
tition to Senate to have the qualifications
suspended.
6. Students studying abroad must be
given the opportunity to participate in
elections.
7. In elections involving 2 or more
tickets, "any ticket within 5% of the to
tal votes cast of the leading vote-getter
may ask for a re-vote" involving only
the 2 leading tickets.
