M ost of the affairs of the U niversity S enate are conducted by its num erous standing com m ittees. There are positions on these com m ittees w hich are reserved fo r students, and it is through these com m ittees th at students have the g re a te st voice in the form ulation of university policy. It is im portant that we alw ays have strong representation so that the stud e nt perspective is never forgotten w hen crucial decisions are being m ade.
