Stuff for the future
Roxanne Winston wants to boost the Election Council Chair's stipend to $2500 on account of there being multiple elections. While I don't disagree with the concept, it does seem to be a pretty direct violation of the finance By-Laws.
Yishi Zuo has proposed a bunch of bills to eliminate stipends for various positions to cut costs. I doubt he'll have much success (most folks support cutting costs in general, but oppose cutting anything), but it's nice to see someone making the effort. He also wants to prohibit the Senate from funding registration fees anywhere.
He also wants to "increase" graduate student involvement by clarifying that rules against residence hall campaigning should not apply to graduate student housing. If there's anything that will help boost graduate student turnout, it's going to where they live and harassing them, apparently.
