The Student Union Senate met last Sunday to discuss individual and committee progress. There were no clubs present to request funding and no University or student communications to address.

Student Union Vice President Gloria Park '13 discussed the upcoming Take Your Professor to Lunch Program, which will return in April. The vouchers distributed through the program can be used only for professors and not administrators or staff. Park proposed instituting a separate program that would provide vouchers that could be used for professors, administrators, staff or teaching assistants. The Senate offered suggestions for the program, including distributing the vouchers by raffle and providing vouchers for a smaller amount that can be used at Einstein Bros. Bagels.

Park also said that she will be meeting today with Student Union Chief of Staff Jesse Manning '13, Dean of Arts and Sciences Susan Birren and Provost Steve Goldstein '78 to discuss ways to improve and effectively use course evaluations and the possibility of implementing more study days during the finals period in future years. As part of a pilot program, students next year will have two study days instead of one, Park said.

The Senate also discussed the possibility of having administrators help serve food at the Midnight Buffet, which is hosted by the Student Union before each finals period. Senators agreed that it would likely take pressure off of the students running the event but that students might feel less comfortable and less able to relax with administrators present.

North Quad Senator Alexander Burger '16 said that he was successful in getting a new television installed in Polaris Lounge in North Quad.

The Dining Committee is preparing for an event on March 20 to mark National Nutrition Month. They also discussed the possibility of changing the hours of the Village Provisions on Demand Market to reflect times that are most convenient to students.
