Student Senate
It is difficult to measure the success of the Student Senate this past aca demic year. As the Senate over came each obstacle, it tried to re inforce and improve its image of credibility in the eyes of the stu
dent body as well as the state legis lators. The development of the Stu
dent Interest Organization, a group of selected senators who represent URI at the State House, is an in credibly important step toward this end. The senators' "new" approach of "working with the system" proved to be a successful strategy. Countless meetings with administrators and
legislators payed
off with obvious
results. In retrospect, the Senate tried to prove that their slogan 'The Stu dent Senate: Your Voice for Action', was not merely words, but something the students can believe in.
