Asad, in charge of Senate
elections in the fall, was decid
edly pleased with the voter turn
out of 130 people. "It was much
better than I expected."
According to Asad, con
cerned students who voiced criti
cism about the lack of elections
at Senate meetings brought
about the decision to have them.
Referring to the Senate execu
tive leadership, she went on to
say that "we don't make any de

The Senate positions repre
senting Mary Hobbs Hall and
English Hall are open because

be filled.
Natalie Sept, a first-year art
major living in Hobbs, com
mented on the importance of
Senate. "I think it's essential to
the productivity of Guilford," she
said. "The lack of involvement is
obviously an impediment to the
beneficient things Senate can
