Media Center restores hours
By Andy Best
As a result of student and facul-ty
feedback, the media center at
the library has been rescheduled
to close at midnight. Earlier this
semester the center had been
closing at 10 p.m. in order to
operate more economically.
"Due to faculty and student in-put,
the idea of closing the media
center would not be in their best
interest," according to Dr.
Highum, director of Sheean
Library. The response by the
faculty, however, was divided
since it depended on how much
each professor uses the media
center. Highum said that the
decision was based not on a tally
vote by the university, but on
whether or not any hardships
would be caused by the earlier
closing time.
Student Senate President Don
Mizerk obtained student feed-back
through senators. Mizerk
said that students were over-whelmingly
opposed to the 10
p.m. closing. Most of those
students opposed to the earlier
closing time were nursing,
foreign language, biology and
chemistry majors who use tapes
at the center to study. Many peo-ple
said that they had to use the
center after ten because of meet-ings
and other earlier conflicts.

Senate stresses better communication
By Andy Best
Senate President Don Mizerk
opened Sunday's senate meeting
with his ideas for improving com-munication
between the senate
and the Wesleyan community.
Mizerk listed several points
regarding such an improvement.
First, senators would have more
responsibilities and would estab-lish
more lines of communica-tions
with their constituents,
while executive members of
senate would visit hall council
meetings. Second, the senate
would use the Argus and WESN
more often in sending informa-tion
out to the university.
Another point was that newslet-ters
would be used to bring the
student government closer to the
faculty and staff. Fourth, Senate
would interact with the Bloom-ington-
Normal community
through charity activities and
through sending senate speakers
to community functions. Mizerk
also pointed out the importance
of unity among campus organiza-tions,
which could be accomplish-ed
by having the presidents and
chairpersons of all organizations
work in one office. A sixth point
listed by Mizerk was that there
would be improved publicity, and
finally, there would be more plan-ning.
Treasurer Genevie McKeithan
informed senate that the final
payment was made on the Wes-leyana,
and she also said that the
Financial Advisory Board ap-proved
the transfer of $750 from
the auxiliary fund to the Current
Issues account. This was done in
order to meet the increase of the
fee for an upcoming speaker.
Senators later voted unanimously
for this transfer, with the excep-tion
of one abstention.
Parliamentarian Doug Ghidina
reminded senators of the elec-tions,
which were held yesterday
above the Dugout. He added that
a run-off election for the
freshman senator will be held if
necessary, and that it would be
held October 3 from 8 a.m. to 6
p.m. above the Dugout.
Major business began with
revisions made on the constitu-tion.
One of the revisions, accor-ding
to Metzger, allows a new
senate president to be sworn into
office at the spring changeover
meeting without having to be
sworn in again at the first all-school
convocation. Another revi-sion
places the Parliamentarian
as chairperson of the Elections
Committee. These proposed revi-sions
will be voted on at the next
meeting. Senators also discussed
and approved the proposal for
November to be Student Organi-zation
Advisor Month. This would
be a period when faculty and staff
members are encouraged to
become involved with student ac-tivities.
In other business, the issue dis-cussed
the most at the meeting
was the possibility of senate ad-dressing
issues outside of the
campus. Randy Miller, Issues
and Programming commission-er,
requested opinions from
senators concerning the drafting
of resolutions and writing of let-ters
that deal with national and
local topics. The majority of
senators accepted the idea,
though not without question.
Some expressed concern over
whether or not there would be
enough input from constituents,
and others questioned if time
would allow for the addressing of
outside issues by senate. There
was only one clear objection from
the senate.
In the commissioners' reports,
IPC commissioner Miller an-nounced
that the Religious Life
Committee needed two directors:
one for House of Chaplains and
another for Programming.
Standing in for David Hawkins of
SUC, Mizerk announced that the
concert this Saturday featuring
the Elvis Brothers was cancelled,
but will be replaced by a band
called Agent and a comedian
known as "The Good Time
Mime." SWHR commissioner
Mickey Sadler said that the Festa
Wesleyana has been scheduled
for November 15. She also said
that Cake Service will restart in
November.
New senators present at Sun-day's
meeting were Mary Ellen
Woodtli, Munsell; Laura Peter-son,
Blackstock; and Marty
Heine, SAI. There is still no
representative from Phi Gamma
Delta.
Senators absent at the meeting
wee Lisa Setlack, Ferguson; Bill
Tomaino, Kemp; Laurie Rizzo,
AOPi; and Jan Dietz, KKG.
