ASMSU will soon review its services and procedures in a committee proposed last spring.
The Constitutional Convention Committee will meet to discuss MSU's undergraduate student government after they fill three committee seats reserved for at-large students.
ASMSU's Steering Committee met Friday to recommend both the Student and Academic Assembly chairpersons to draft letters to college deans requesting students to sit on the committee.
Three at-large students, four representatives from each of the student and academic assemblies, the ASMSU association director and both assembly chairpersons sit on the Constitutional Convention Committee.
ASMSU provides free legal services and blue books, and funding for campus events. ASMSU taxes undergraduate students $13.75 per semester.
"It's good to take a step back and take a look at yourself," said Andrew Schepers, Student Assembly chairperson. "I hope that ideas to improve ASMSU come out of this."
Schepers also speculated on topics that may arise in the committee.
He said a combination of ASMSU's two assemblies into a unicameral system, the legal services they provide to students and whether to continue supporting the Red Cedar Log, MSU's yearbook, are all viable topics of discussion.
The bill to form a Constitutional Convention Committee was proposed to Academic Assembly twice last spring, and passed in April.
Bruce Serven, a representative for the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, supported the bill in the spring. He is looking for the committee to address structural changes and services to improve ASMSU's effectiveness.
"(ASMSU has) been content, but they need to look at (the constitution) on a regular basis to keep up with the community and how to best serve taxpayers," he said. "As far as our services and our structure, it needs to evolve with the times."
But Schepers said he doesn't agree with evaluating the student government's services on a constant schedule.
"Every year we always need to change something," he said. "Next year they need to try to use what they have.
"They should take the committee's recommendations and stop (to) use them and actually work with it to see how it performs."
He also said being concerned with ASMSU's internal affairs takes away from other important issues they should be addressing, like tuition hikes and possible college reorganization.
ASMSU Association Director Paul Harmon said he agreed internal evaluation is important.
"It's a legitimate question to be called on - how we are performing and making sure we provide the best services," he said.
