Several Student Government resolutions introduced through Student Senate this semester have not yet produced any results.

Senate resolutions are usually a recommendation of change and are directed toward the department that can implement that change. But, October resolutions to clarify pay procedures and one to add a Cash-to-Chip machine to the Gregg Triad computer lab have received no department response, said Speaker of the Senate Bill Davidson.

The resolution for pay procedures recommend wage and hourly rates be added to student employee pay stubs to “allow for smoother reconciliation of any discrepancies between employer and employee records.”

No university employee stubs currently include the information. Davidson said adding the wage and hourly rates would likely be feasible since pay stubs are processed through a computer program.

“I haven’t seen their computer system … I’m pretty sure they do it all by computer so I don’t think it would be that big of an adjustment,” he said.

Davidson said Student Government sent the recommendation to the Human Resources department, but no response has been received.

The resolution suggesting to add a Cash-to-Chip machine was sent to the Telecommunications office, but also has not yet received a response, Davidson said.

“If they’re making us use the Panther Card to print, they should have a Cash-to-Chip machine,” Davidson previously told The Daily Eastern News. “Maybe (if there is) one that’s not being used adequately, they could move it over to the Gregg Triad.”

The resolution said all nearby machines are unavailable after midnight, and the Gregg Triad is open 24 hours.

Davidson said students are forced to use the machine in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union after midnight, and the walk from the Triad computer lab could be unsafe at night.

Installing a new machine to the Gregg Triad is not currently possible because of funding, said Clay Hopkins, director of the Telecommunications office.

“It’s going to be a funding issue,” he said. “We would certainly consider it if we could find the funding.”

Hopkins said the 14 machines in Booth Library, the union and most of the residence halls cost around $5,000 each.

A resolution recommending Student Government executives only serve on specified committees failed in September, but the resolution will soon be introduced as a bill, said Student Senate member Dwight Nelson, co-author of the resolution.

“The legislation will be a firm recommendation that (executives) exhaust all other avenues before you appoint yourself,” Nelson said. “In the past, the policy has been to appoint themselves in the first three weeks and be done with it.”

Student Government committee positions are filled at the beginning of the semester, and executives do not search long for students outside of Student Government to fill positions while executives can already serve as ex-officio members, Nelson said.

“I feel cheated. Unfortunately, my fellow senators do not feel that way,” he said. “(Executives) are making it more like a club.”

Davidson said the resolution already introduced in senate would have taken away from what executives can offer committees.

“I would not be for it if the same resolution or somewhat the same resolution came across the table,” Davidson said. “These executives are some the best advocates of students.”

Nelson said he will probably introduce the resolution as a bill following senate elections Nov. 19 and 20.

“I’m hoping after the elections we’ll get some more senators who are more open to the idea,” Nelson said.
