V.	Discussion Items
	A.	Smoking Ban (Khan) - Two smoking bans passed last semester for Washington DC and Columbia. However, in these cases voters were not consulted. Kirksville is unique. If you are interested in helping draft a resolution come to the EA meeting!
		- Crawford - Has been in discussion with students at MU. Students there lobbied their city council. Received a good resources from students. Some people feel that Senate should not take a stand but should just inform students about the ban. It is divided between people who want Senate to pass a resolution in favor of the band and those that wish no resolution to be passed. We don't have a lot of time so go talk to people and help Lina out.
		- Wisa - This affects student organizations. If student organizations are holding events off campus in public places they would be affected by the ban. It is important to get people interested in te topic and encouraging them to vote. Does not seem like a good idea for Senate to take a stand.
		- Hadley - Student Senate should not take a stand on this opinion. If we take a stand on this controversial issue, we would have to take on other such issues. A publicity campaign would be beneficial. We worked on advertising the last presidential election and could do the same here. If we bring a resolution either way, she will vote no.
		- Hayes - Biggest concern is whether or not we could come to a consenus among the student body. Giving them the knowledge about what they are voting on but does not think that Senate can pass a resolution that wholey represents the student body.

VI.	Other New Business
	A.	Repeat Policy (Gerhart) - moves a correcting motion to the Repeat Policy Resolution.
		- Crawford - Took this to faculty senate ex com. Technicalities in the resolution made it harder for some students to graduate. Garry Gordon and Faculty Senate made corrections and they were given to Tim. Wanted to make sure that undergraduate students were specifically named. Added a grade of C because the old policy is a grade of D or F only. Stated in original resolution that students could only repeat a class once. The concern is if they took the class and didn't get a high enough grade to graduate they would be stuck. Now it states that the first time it is repeated the grade will be replaced and any additional repeated grades will be averaged in. 
		Lina - Line 46 needs a period after attempt.
		- Hob - When will this be effective? 
		- Passes 13 - 0 - 0
