are not interested in carry
ing out that responsibility,” Nettles add
ed. The policy Nettles advocates is a
limit of 2 unexcused absences.
Another area that Nettles would like
to see changed lies in the way the Senate
actually works. He would like to see a
uniformity of procedures for carrying
out Senate meetings and duties. This, he
feels, will cut out red tape and help with
clarifying records. One area of records
that he will address is the area of allot
ments. He would like to see organiza
tions held accountable for their allot
ments.
The final problem that Nettles would
like to work on is the lack of exposure
that the Senate gets. He would like to
work with the Hilltop next year to get
Senate actions printed. The constitution
calls for the minutes and other necessary
SGA information to be printed in every
issue of the Hilltop as submitted by the
secretary, but this year nothing was ever
sent to the paper. Nettles would like to
make sure that this is done and that a
roll call is included.
Nettles concluded by stating that he
felt like with the dedication exhibited by
the new officers and with the new ideas
for making the Senate a meaningful and
rewarding thing to be involved in, next
years Senate should be one of the most
effective “channels for change” that
Mars Hill has experienced in recent
memory.
