Student participation in

to Acedesaie Senate, a member of
tbe Sc5nato Executive Board,'
ebais'po)?goa of the Senate
Noj3iaat!ac Conamittee and a full-
time- student carrying 14 credit
hours.
TO GETeverything done, Davis
. said he budgets his time but taking
care of other.things often conflicts
with taking care of himself. "I end up
neglecting myself," he said. "Like
last week t suddenly discovered I
haven't eatea in two days."
As vice president of the student
body, Davis finds students interested in  serving  on  Academic

Senate committees jtnd recommends
their appointment to>a committee.
"Steve- has, been the person
responsible for the nitty gritty
details of seeing committees are
staffed by students," Sue Nichols,
chairperson of the Academic Senate,
said.
Once students are on a committee, Davis makes sure they are
notified on meeting times and
Receive meeting agendas, and
minutes.
(He also checks committee'
minutes for the 15 Academic Senate
committees to see if student
members are attending * meetings.
Committee members who miss
three 'consecutive meetings are
removed from the committee and
Davis warns students who* have
missed two meetings of the'removal
policy.  ■'  * ...        \
DAVIS -SAID he is frustrated
by * students who don't attend
meetings, "You try so hard, to get
students to participate and then they ]
don't give their all and messl it up for
the rest of us," he said,
He also is upset b.y people who K
don't believe ^students are credible
and can do a good job. However,
Davis said there are many people in
Senate who give students a chance,
are receptive to.student idea's and
expect students to do a good job.
Davis also has been a favorable
asset to the Executive Board,
Nichols said. (    ''       /
Davis'* role is as *' resource*
person for the Executive Board.
Board member* often aalt Davis
about student opinion on the issue*
they, are discussing, Nichols added.
,   The Executive'Board sets the
agenda   for    Academic    Senate
meetings. In the course of setting
the   agenda,   issues    arise   which*,
concern   the   campus   community,
These are discussed by the Board
and it may make recommendation to
the administration or initiate items
to be placed on the Senate agenda..
' Davis now is working with Don
Boiieau,  chairperson of the    om-.
mittee oil Committees, oh a study of
■ students   on   Academic   Senate"
committees. Boiieau said they will be
asking students about problems that'
arise on committees, how they view
their function and generally find out
<more about student participation.'
Boiieau     added,   "Steve's   individual contribution has, made a '
difference in student participation
throughout the University."
