Wu!
Albert Wu has been saying things over at the ASUC Senate Facebook Forum. Wu is part of Student Action, so it would be a travesty if there wasn't something false, which is avoided:
To receive funds as an ASUC student group, you will need a Senator to write a bill of sponsorship. This is, of course, false, but no one expects Senators to know their own rules. The important thing is that Senators feel important, so obviously you need them to do everything for you.
By the way, the impression consistently given off by much of the Senate is that the position of "Senator" is a prize they win in the election, and they should now get benefits. Whether its giving themselves awards, insisting that people shop at the Cal bookstore for the sake of funding student activities at the same time they brag about their Senator discount (which defeats that purpose), buying themselves graduation stoles, or yelling "Decorum!", they seem to think they should be treated with respect and that people should make them feel important. That shouldn't be what they won, though. What they should've won was the obligation to represent students, and I sort of hope that this year's Senate prioritizes that over their egos. (This is one of many reasons I wanted to eliminate decorum rules for the Senate as EVP)
In any case, I have a pair of plans in the works along this line of thinking.
