(Editor's note—This Ik tiie lasl in a series of articles on the \ss( president's midyear report to the student body.)
Ky the Watchbird ' After six months in office ASSC President Jerry McMa-! hon is still idealistically confident that student government is beneficial even though his own Senate, he admits, could stand improvement.
McMahon, in a special press conference with the Dally Trojan last week, listed the major accomplishments of the ASSC Senate this past semester as follows:
Lists Senate Accomplishments
1 The prestige gained for the Senate by the passage of a resolution last June voicing student objection to having Texas’ tjov. Allan A Shivers as commencement speaker;
2. Tbe Senate's investigation into why the administration "dropped" Andries Deinum. cinema instructor, alter he proved to lie uncooperative" in answering questions before the House I n-Amcrican Activities Committee:
J. Ths .senate s passage of tiie
senior fee bill following the thorough investigation and presentation by Senior Class President Steve Roliertson and his council;
4 The expansion of the off-campus Speakers' Bureau largely through the efforts of Barbara Irvine, public relations chairman;
5. The re-establishment of Wampus Magazine as a campus publication.
Interest in Senate Lacking After listing such a concrete
1.	Preparing “spoon-fed” reso-1 lutions for them to bring liefore the governing body ,and placing them in charge of certain committees;
2.	Trying to be fair In handling Senate debate hv limiting tbe more loquacious members to the mere essentials.
Absentees Put on ( arpet McMahon was questioned as to what has been done to check the continual absences of Abdul Jal-

warned that the Senate as a ► hole has missed the boat in many wavs because often “some members just don't take their Job too seriously.”
McMahon did point out, though, that most Senators have done a fine job within their own organizations. even Ihough many have failed in participating in the "legislative processes" with tbe same zeal arid effort.
The president says many Senators don't realize that they have a responsibility to the Senate besides representing their respective groups.
Attacks “Silent Senators" McMahon has tried to eliminate what he terms the "silent Senators' t>> two legislative processes.
tive. and Merl Ledford, medicine president.
The president said lhat he has made Investigation of both men and received favorable excuses. Jallow had a night class during last semester and had a proxy sitting in for him. Ledford could not make the meetings liecuuse he was working as an intern at the county hospital.
According to McMahon, Ledford has done an excellent job with his Medical Council, even though be lias been neglecting bis Senate obligations.
The Senate at its Jan 4 meeting requested MrMahon to ask for written excuses from Ihe two Senators. Those excuses are scheduled to be read at tonight s meeting.
McMahon complimented his senators hy saying that he thought more thought and thorough investigation has been behind Senate resolutions this year than in previous years.
Claims Legislative Area Weak He did say, though, that he thought tbe legislative area of the Senate has been weak, because most of the Senators have not probed and looked into new realms of improvement.
The student leader said there has been less politics involved in Senate activity last semester, but pointed out that there is alwajs a decline of such pressures in the fall semesters.
Praises Senate Action McMahon commended the intelligent and thorough investigation done before the passage of the senior tee bill aud the parking survey.
lie said that the race segregation investigation proposed by IK President Marguerite Cooper, though it was defeated by tbe Senate, bad a great deal of mature thought la-hind it. lie did not give his personal opinion of that particular piere of legislation.

Today ic the last day to buy books at the Alpha Phi Omega bookmart.
Chis Seiter, chairman of the project, reports the sale of more than 100 books since the bookmart opened Feb 6 The book exchange will be open today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of the Student Union with used books for many courses and a hoat of workbooks, outlines, and reference books available.
"Students are able to buy books for less and sell for more because A Phi O only takes 10 cents for each book sold,” said Seiter.
“If tbe book is not sold, it is returned with no charge,” be added.
Students who have left their books at t tie bookmart should come to the Alpha Phi Omega office. 220 SU, to get their money or hooks The office is open from $ am. lo 4 pm. daily.
...” (Art. 5. Sect. 3A)
ASSC President Jerry McMahon said yesterday, “The Idea of having a woman as student body president doesn't appeal to me. However, who can say that sometime a woman won’t be more suited for this job than a man?” Continuing, McMahon stated, "The U.S. constitution has no restrictions on the sex of the resident, hut It is extremely unlikely that a woman will run for the position In the near future.
Wnnts Fairness "But in all fairness to the fair sex, the ASSC Constitution shouldn't restrict women from considering the office," he added.
Also on tonight's Senate agenda is a proposal that would lower the grade point requirements for ASSC officeholders from a 2.5 to a 2.00 average. Article 5. Sect. 3G of the constitution now says, “All candiates for ASSC officers must have a cumulative grade-polnt average of at least 2.5 and an average of at least 2.3 for all units completed in the niester preceding the ASSC election semester in which the; ,■ e c adidat-es."
Comments Told Comments favoring the passing of the proposal yesterday indicated fhat a person with good qualifications for an ASSC job may not necessarily have top grades. But unfavorable talk about the proposition revealed a person with poor grades should strive to ra'se them and therefore should not have time to waste with extracurricular activity.
McMahon said that a committee will be formed at tonight'* meeting to Investigate the possibility of separating the El Rodeo*
• the SC' yearbooks, distributed in June I from the spouse activity books.
This action, which was proposed by Murray Bring in 1955 during hi* campaign to defeat McMahon for the presidential post, is also favored by McMahon.
Leas To Pay It would permit man and wife, if both are students at SC, to attend foot ball games and other activities on two student body cards, but would eliminate them from paying for two yearbooks.
Sid Deem, ASSC senator and veteran's representative, will submit a report to the Senate on the progress of his committee to establish "First-Nighters” at SC.
These affairs, to be held the first nights of important drama productions, would feature all th* “trimmings" of first nights of drama productions at large metropolitan theatres.
"Our committee has met with the Drama Department and we have decided we want tn hold a reception after the first performance of 'Twin Menaechmi’ to he presented In Bovard Mar. 20,” Deem said yesterday.
May Open Row "We think we ran get the Row open until 2 a.m., permitting the Rowites to attend the reception. Of course, independents and faculty also will lie urged to attend.
“The dress for the reception will be Informal, and punch and cake will lie served," Deem added.
The other two memliers of hi* committee are Robbie Carroll, Panhellenic president; and Marguerite Cooper, International Relations president.
Also on the “new business” agenda will lie a report by President McMahon on his investigations of discrepancies in the ASSC constitution.
No Provision*
“I have found that there are no provisions in the constitution for an election commissioner, Religious Emphasis Week, or even Homecoming," he said.
We will try to look into the possibilities of liuxuopiating these Iwo SC traditions and the post of elections commissioner into th* constitution,” he added.
More committee reports for this evening's meeting will b* from Herb Hersch. Troj Camp co-chairman; Sid Owsowitz, elections commissioner; and Betty Metiger, ASSC vioe-president.
