There are two things I learned from last night’s five hour senate meeting. First, the UO is one big pair of pants and the student groups are all different pockets. Secondly, covering the ASUO senate is a marathon, not a sprint.
The senates first priority was to approve Carina Miller to [...]

The Summer Senate gathered earlier this evening for the second meeting of the summer. The meeting accomplished very little with all three main discussions being put on the table until further notice.
The first discussion of the meeting was continuing a discussion of branding the ASUO. This “branding” would consist of [...]
As president Lariviere has learned new media and started blogging about his hikes with Kitty Piercy, our beloved mascot Sudsy O’Sullivan has started his own twitter account. So if you have a twitter, follow him and see the inner thoughts of a narcicist/alcoholic/cannibal/libertarian beer.

Today, at 5:17 PM the summer senate held it’s first senate meeting of the summer. The senate was down a member today as Jessica Jones resigned earlier in the morning. Since the meeting was quick (Thank God, and partially Sen. Gower) I will give a quick roundup of the meeting.
