Opinion hearing held for unexcused senator absences

Devin Fulton

Senate brought in Marlys Brenning, 21, senior of Culbertson, for an opinion hearing of Klueber V. Tedesse due to an unexcused absence of Natneal Tedesse, junior of Chadron, Monday. 

“The court finds that the lack of communication of time regular Senate meetings constitutes a good cause for the court to excuse the absence,” Brenning said. 

The decision was made to excuse his absence, but Chief Justice Samantha Merrill, senior of Oral, South Dakota, addressed the importance of senators reading their by-laws.

Senate is going to continue with their feminine hygiene initiative, providing feminine hygiene products on campus located in various restrooms. The main locations for feminine products will be at the NPAC, Old Admin,and the Student Center.

In an effort to help students on campus become registered voters for the upcoming midterm elections, Senate will be hosting a “Registration to Vote” drive. 

“We are looking at having two days where we have tables set up to help students register to vote prior to Oct. 19,” said Konery Klueber, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota. The Drive will come with “Register to Vote-kits,” including stickers.

Senate approved the motion to allocate $176.00 towards the National Association for Music Educators club to stay at a hotel that is within a close distance of their conference. 

It was announced that there were 13 floats during the Homecoming Parade and 656 voters for the Homecoming Elections which was “higher than in years passed,” Merrill said.

Over 139 people attended Coronation.

Senate helped host Bongo Ball and Battle Ball in the NPAC, Friday. A total of 15 people attended the event. 

These events were funded for Spring Days last year for $1,250 from last year’s budget and $1,200 from this year’s budget. These events are part of a contract, as Senate did not want to refuse an event already paid for.

Senate currently has $55,130 in unallocated funds.
