With Arts and Sausages candidates Jay Adkins and Skip Slyfield as president and vice-president, Student Government took on a new light this year. Their absurdity hit head-on with the staunch Student Senate and sparks flew. A few weeks into the fall semester, Jay Adkins relinquished his chairmanship of the Student Senate to Senator Fred Niemann. This action was apparently instigated when several student senators became angry with Adkins ' desire to abolish the sen- ate. In spite of all the absurdity, Student Government was active in many areas of student life. One of the Stu- dent Senate ' s initial duties was to investigate hazing practices allegedly occurring in many student organi- zations. A Student Senate committee reported finding no illegal hazing activities. Student Government took time out from the serious side of student activities to host the Second Giant Revel held in Pease Park. Festivities included a cos- tume contest, underwear Olympics and Jay Adkins for a Day contest. The gathering was to be a break to let the students get crazy as Adkins put it. Another controversy arose when Student Senate approved a motion to move $10,000 out of a general University account. Directly defying regental rules, the action started a debate on whether Student Senate should remain a University agency or move off campus. Student Senate subcommittees were an active part of Student Government. The State Lobby Committee spent the fall semester preparing for the State Legisla- ture to convene. Throughout the Legislative session, they lobbied for bills concerning the University. STUDENT SENATE 1 . Jesse Alex Sanchez 2. Andre Michael Espinosa 3. Mark Hamilton Zion 4. Leigh Alan Grundy 5.
