The 1986 Spring Student Senate was a body of bona fide pol- iticos who worked both wonders and miracles for their Berkeley High student constituents. Under the perverbial iron fist of Presi- dent Duru Ahanotu and the intelligence and wisdom of his charis- matic underlings, all the school ' s problems were solved in the first five weeks of the semester, and the Senate was forced to turn itself into a lunch club for the remainder of the semester. When the Senate did have work, and could not figure out a way around it, they set up several committees so that they would not have to work during lunch time. Quoted one Senate member, it was one boomin ' experience all around, I ' d say. In light of their obvious greatness, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution declaring themselves the best Senate Berkeley High had ever seen and commenced to throw themselves a large party. Essentially, the Senate was a productive and effective body, and when they were through, all the students of Berkeley High were happy and had no complaints. Said Joe Average Stu- dent I ' m happy and I have no complaints. Gosh, that Senate sure is good. Thanks, guys.

--FALL SENATE-- Have you ever wondered just who those people are who get up and rap on stage to get your votes twice a year? These are the candidates for Student Senate, a group of eight de- signed to represent the student body. The Senate is elected each semester by BHS students. In addition to a appointing the Student Council president and vice president, the Senate does its best to deal with the different problems that face Berkeley High. Some of the issues addressed this fall were the attendance and hall pass policies, the teachers ' contract ne- gotiations, and the enormous deficit that was confronting the Berkeley School District. Senate members also attended a School Board meeting defending Berkeley High ' s self-sche- duling process. However, President Helena Hansen feels that the Senate could get even more accomplished with added input from BHS students, and is organizing the first open forum, to be held in the courtyard, so that students may actually participate in a Senate meeting. Although the members of the Student Senate have begun working very hard this semester with many new ideas, one question burns in everyone ' s mind: Where the heck is that toilet paper you promised us? 1. An unidentifiable hand casts the deciding vote 2. Here ' s the church, here ' s the steeple... 3. There ' s a WHAT crawling up my back? 4.
