With most senators in costume for Halloween, the Student Senate discussed several of its ongoing projects at its weekly meeting Wednesday night.

The Senate's committee on residence life wanted clocks added to classrooms in O'Shaughnessy Hall, according to committee co-chair Aldo Tesi, the senator from Stanford Hall. However, in a meeting with director of space management Joseph Schellinger, the committee learned that the University does not intend to put clocks in the building.

"They've tried having clocks in O'Shaughnessy in the past, and people were stealing them," Tesi told the senate.

However, Schellinger is considering added amenities such as pencil sharpeners and three-hole punchers to different locations around campus, according to Tesi.

The Senate's University affairs committee met with another administrator, counseling center director Patrick Utz, said Zahm senator Mark Roland, one of the committee's co-chairs. In that meeting, senators and Utz discussed ways the Senate and the counseling center can work together to improve services.

"He was more than receptive," Roland said of Utz.
