Legislature inaction may end ASG By Erin Thien
Stalling by the student legislature in approving judicial advocates may cause the end of the Asociated Student Government. "Elections are to take place in two weeks and unless there are judicial advocates to run the election, the current officers' and legislators' terms will end with no one to replace them," stated G. "Sweed" Swanson, ASG president. According to the ASG constitution, elections for officers and legislators must take place the week prior to spring vacation. Tenure of office then ends for the current representatives the third week following spring vacation. The apparent stalling by the legislature seems to have been started when a petition over the R-building controversy was submitted. A petition must be validated by quorum of judicial advocates, three of five, and if validated, a election over the matter must take place in ten days. Currently there is only one judicial advocate. Swanson submitted four names to fill the vacancies at the March 3 meeting and the
Parlcing lots to be changed Parking problems may become more complicated due to a recent ruling by the Administrative Council In two recent meetings, the council approved many changes in the campus parking, concerning lots 1 and 11 . Lot 1 in the front of the administration is currently tor students and lot 11 between the business and engineering buildings is now for facutly. A recommendation by the Campus Safety and Security Commitee, asked the council to change lot 1 to staff and visitor parking and lot 2 to student parking. The idea behind this change is to help the traffic flow of the one-way exit when students leave the campus on the hour. Members of faculty opposed this change because they would lose a convenient parking lot. G. "Sweed" Swanson, Associated Student Government president, made the motion and it passed. At the next meeting, a motion was made for lot 1 to be for staff and lot 11 to be split between staff and students. This motion passed. Then Swanson made the motion for lot 1 to be for students and visitors and lot 11 to be split for students and staff. This motion passed. Another motion was made to designate lot 1 for staff and visitors and lot 11 for staff and students. This motion also passed with the student representatives voting against it. "My feelings are that unless the students howl about the situation, nothing will change. However, the way the school is built allows for no close parking and there's no way to avoid walking. So even the faculty will have to put on walking shoes," said Barbara Parton, ASG vice president.
matter was tabled with only one legislator, Kathy Turner, voting no. "Swanson submitted names for the vacancies and the legislature refused to act. I feel there is a definite conflict of interest in the legislature. I thought of a petition for recall, but even that cannot be validated without judicial advocates," said Ed Estes, who presented the R-building petition. "Even when I mentioned the recall one of the legislators told me to 'shut your mouth.' I think some of the legislators are afraid to let the R-building issue to to a student vote. But the more noise they make now, the less chance they have of getting re-elected," he added. Also attending Thursday's meeting, members ofthe Alpha Gamma Sigma honor society, expressed their dissatisfaction in the legislature's lack of action. "We think the legislature is stalling. No matter who they choose, all judicial advocates should be fair and impartial. As for the R-building, the majority of our organization is supporting Estes' and Mary Sue Rafalko's plan," stated Carol Wood, honor
society president. However, according to Swanson, the judicial advocates make many constitutional interpretations and could rule the petition invalid on some technicality. "The legislature better appoint some judicial advocates soon in order to have an election. Candidates must submit their names by next week and there ism uch work to do beforehand." said Swanson. All candidates for office must carry 12 units, not be on academic probation and maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Candidates may not file for more than one office and must register with the Dean of Student Activities at least 10 school days prior to the election. This deadline is Monday. Treasurer aspirants must have completed at least one college semester level course in accounting or bookkeeping. Adding a further complication to the Rbuilding dilemma is the fact that the relocatable building for journalism and graphic arts may not be ready for next fall. Predictions indicate that the R-building may not be vacated for remodeling until Christmas vacation.
