I agree with Li-Ess about the funding.

I personally feel that the Senate should not use student activity funds for things like flyers since the Senate is a different body that should have its own funding for that stuff. If these funds do not exist then we need to create them but they should not in any way rely on student fees. The administration should supply a budget to the Senate for these matters.
