At the final Senate meeting of the semester, the Student Union members elected on April 14 were inaugurated.13 out of 22 senators attended the meeting, one of whom arrived 20 minutes late.

The Economics Club, represented by Joshua Hoffman-Senn '13, requested that its name be changed to the Brandeis Economics Society. The Senate unanimously approved the name change.

The Senate unanimously recognized and chartered the Guitar Club. According to the club's constitution, "The purpose of the Guitar Club is to introduce to the Brandeis community the many styles of guitar."

The Senate also unanimously recognized and chartered the Graphic Design Alliance. According to the group's constitution, the GDA will work "to establish an outlet and unify Brandeis Undergraduate students interested in graphic design."

The Health and Fitness Club approached the Senate for charter. Senator for the Class of 2014 Mitchell Schwartz argued that there was duality of purpose between the Health and Fitness Club and the Weightlifting Club.

Executive Senator and Senator for the Class of 2011 Abraham Berin proposed that the club add a line to its constitution that clarifies the purpose of the club to include recruitment at both the first-year and midyear orientations.

The Senate agreed and chartered the club pending a meeting with the Club Support Committee.

The Senate discussed an amendment to Section 2, Article 8 of the Senate bylaws that was submitted at the previous Senate meeting.

The Senate unanimously approved the bylaw amendment, but agreed to alter it by adding "at the discretion of the Senate" to the end of the amendment.

The final bylaw reads, "No club can sanction an activity or event that violates the rights and responsibilities handbook at the discretion of the Senate."
