Just to clarify what I stated:
Individual senators do not represent the entirety of the undergrad
population, whereas every committee chair and member is, in essence,
representing all undergrads.
And as for advertising, as I said already, it would be annoying and
probably counterproductive to email the entire undergrad population
before every committee meeting (each committee meets about once a
week, so that would be about 10 meetings a week). Paul's idea has
potential, though, as long as students are choosing to be on this
announce list. I dont think that anyone can remove themselves from the
undergrads list.
