If it had not been for the discontent of a few people who had not been satisfied with their conditions, we would still be living in caves. Intelligent discontent is the mainspring of civilization. Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation."

"Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out."

As we move quickly through the semester and towards Spring break, I think it is appropriate to pause and give a quick synopsis of where Senate stands in its current projects.
Student Organization Center (SOC) - Having decided on a design and after receiving a budget estimate, the steering committee is going with the environmentally friendly ("Green") pricing option. We are currently scaling back "needs" versus "wants" to make the thousands of dollars price tag manageable. Look for updates at lunch on Wednesdays.
Club Storage in King - Inter Club Council (ICC) held a successful storage clean up two weeks ago and the space is now open for clubs use. Please register with ICC chair, Ariel Brandt, for details and instruction on use.
Updates to Constitution and procedures - The Senate Executives and steering chairs have been working diligently on updating and clarifying Senate protocol and procedures. Great strides have been made but there is still a ways to go. Some key updates that have been/are being made: Senator job descriptions/responsibilities, conference proposal process, Senate makeup, preamble to Constitution.
Student Loan Fund Auction (SLFA) Gala - Postponed to Homecoming 2005. This will allow for more time to plan. Memorial still in planning stages, accepting suggestions and volunteers, please contact Nick Boylan for further details.
