Student Senate announced at its meeting Sunday night that surveys will be circulated among the student body in order to evaluate the impacts of and responses to the water bottle ban put in place in the fall of 2010.
Vice President of the Student Body Nic Flores said the senate does not yet know what it will do with the information resulting from survey responses. Flores said the survey responses will determine the way in which senate will react.
"We don't know what responses and what answers we're going to be getting from students so our action will really just depend on student reactions," Flores said.
Flores said Student Senate is attempting to review white papers that were put into effect last year and take action based on those white papers.
"This year on top of our own agenda of producing white papers we're also having to check in and also make sure that other pieces of legislation are being followed through and taken into consideration within the administration and with faculty and with staff," Flores said.
Flores said senators are looking into the white paper passed last year regarding the potential of bringing kegs back to campus. The white paper is currently being examined and considered by the university administration as it considers recent findings on alcohol use at DePauw.
Results from surveys will be released in the form of a report later in the semester.
