The mechanism which i have proposed ior rulc lcharige is a major step toward more coordination between the legislative and executive branch» es of our government. Chapman 7 Coordination can only be improved by communlr cation. When an issue is being discussed by the Com? or AWS board, members oi the legislative branch should be invited to at. tend these discussions when it is appropriate.

Chapman To decide this question, more consideration is necessary. ideally, responsible student service should not re— qulre compensation. in reality, however, other schools with suc- cessiul student-run social pro- grams provide salarics. ‘ ‘ The student senate commit-l tee‘s distinction between “oi-cal tive” and “menial” responsibil-‘ ity is not mcaningiul.

The car restrictions and the open—open dorm policies have not been lully investigated. 1 tavor relaxation in the car rule, and more openropens. In decitls ing these questions, the role of the SGA president is to present the students with the problem, .stimulatc them to coniront the issues. insure the means tor reaching a decision, then maxiv niizing student influence in seek- ing change by representing the students to the administration as an advocate, To facilitate this process, I would employ ini'orr mal visits to the halls,, an open forum to discuss the issue, and a referendum.
