The Graduate and Professional Student Council elected a new treasurer in its meeting last night.Anne Brown, business administration graduate student and alternate representative to the council, was elected unanimously, 12-0. Brown was not present at the meeting.
"If there's anyone who's particular about the way she does things ... I think Anne's the perfect person, I think you'd be happy to have her as treasurer," said Ron Williams, a council representative to the committee, before the vote. There were no other c andidates.
In other business, the council discussed a plan to create the Student Health Insurance Financial Taskforce. SHIFT will study the problems of medical insurance that face both undergraduate and graduate students, and make a recommendation to the GPSC.
"It's an extraordinary opportunity for us to take a policy-making role at the university," GPSC President Alex Sugiyama said at the meeting.
Plans for SHIFT will be voted on at the next GPSC meeting, which is in two weeks.
At that meeting, the GPSC will also approve its budget for 1996-97. Tentative plans call for the budget request to total $62,500.
The GPSC also discussed the problems of childcare availability for students and the possibility of changing its own bylaws to adjust to its split with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.
