The Government of the Student Body passed a bill to reform the system determining how many senators are apportioned for each area of campus, during their meeting Wednesday night.The motivation for the bill sprung from a conflict in numbers from the registrar’s office on “count day,” when ISU students are tallied at on- and off-campus residencies. The bill’s author, Andrew Kothenbeutel, Towers Residence Association, said he discovered a discrepancy in the number of students needed for an additional TRA senator.”It was quite strange because, at first, we had 39 more students than we needed for another seat,” Kothenbeutel said. “During Dead Week, when the bill came forward, we were 22 students short for the extra seat.”The bill aims to allow figures obtained by the registrar to be called into question to give appropriate seats where they are due. “This bill is going to help students out a lot with accuracy issues,” said Greg Tew, vice-speaker of the senate. “I am all for a deserved seat.”The reason this occurs is simple, Kothenbeutel said. “When you have students living in the den, the Department of Residence tries to find them permanent housing,” he said. “When a place is found for someone, they are counted in the new room rather than the den.”Ben Golding, GSB president, said the bill is a suitable solution to the discrepancy.”There were some concerns about what occurred with the figures,” he said. “Kothenbeutel has worked to an appropriate solution to address the problem.”
