R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The Student Senate of Texas A&M University
  celebrated its 75th anniversary on October 15, 2022; and
         WHEREAS, The TAMU Student Senate can trace its roots to 1910,
  when the Students' Council was formed through the university's
  Corps of Cadets to enforce the honor system and supervise
  individual conduct; the group dissolved in 1916, and in 1945, it
  reorganized as a new Student Council, which provided for the needs
  of the growing student population and consisted of four class
  presidents, the cadet colonel, and four regimental
  representatives; and
         WHEREAS, On October 15, 1947, the student representatives
  elected the first president of the body and approved a
  constitution, transforming the group into the Student Senate; in
  addition to serving as liaisons between TAMU's students and
  administrators, the members of the Student Senate act in an
  executive capacity for students both on and off campus; by 1950, the
  group was recognized as the highest all-student unit in the TAMU
  Student Government, which eventually expanded to include three
  branches, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the
  judicial branch; and
         WHEREAS, Today, the Student Senate includes 80 senators who
  represent undergraduate and graduate students in the various
  residencies and academic colleges of TAMU; the group also benefits
  from the outstanding contributions of its 11 officers, ex officio
  officers, and numerous student aides, committee members, and
  liaisons; and
         WHEREAS, All those involved in the 75th Session of the
  Student Senate have continued the organization's rich tradition of
  excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless
  service, and it is a pleasure to recognize the group for its many
  achievements; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding
  of the Student Senate of Texas A&M University and extend to all
  those associated with the organization sincere best wishes for the
  future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the TAMU Student Senate as an expression of high regard
  by the Texas House of Representatives.
