Four bills introduced by John Biegler were considered during the course of the meeting. The first bill brought up proposed that all Student Senator voting rec-ords and a synopsis of each bill intro duced be printed in the Exponent. Senate passed this bill by a unani-mous vote. The second bill considered a propo-sal by Biegler that two days should be given to voting for special assessment elections. Because this would be a by-law to the Constitution, it would not affect the FM radio elections. Bieg-ler then amended the bill to concern the up-coming elections. This amend-ment was defeated by a vote of eight to four. In a third bill Biegler suggested that 40 per cent of the student body must vote in a special assessment election and of these two-thirds of the students must approve in order for the issue to pass. This bill was amended because it also pertained to the Con-stitution. The amended bill read that no FM assessment could be passed without meeting the above require-ments. Senators voted this down with an 11-1 vote. Senate also defeated a fourth bill which read that no FM assessment may be applied to the activity ticket fee unless three-fourths of voting stu-dents approve the issue. The vote tallied 11-1.
