President George Bruno addresses the Senate. tudent Senate STUDENT SENATE. Comprised of students represent- ing all the disciplines and all phases of college life, the Hartwick College Student Senate occupies the distinct position of being the only generally elected, all-encompassing student organization which assumes responsibility for the general welfare of the entire Student Body. More than just a grand forum for debate, it serves as the focal point of student ex- pression. The 1963-64 Senate will be known mostly for awareness and concern for the world we live in. Na- tionally, the Senate took great interest in the tri- parte Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and upon ratification, sent a message of congratulations to President Ken- nedy. The debate on Liberalism versus Conservatism will long be remembered as a dramatic and stimulat- ing program.
