interact with candidates who will also be allowed to make speeches. As of May 3, Leonard Flagg and David Lucero had submitted petitions for president, while Marina Huesias and Shannon Ryan are running for vice-president. Other people who had originally picked up petition packets, signifying intent to run for legislator were: Eve Garrett, Steve Guffantie, Mike Jackman, Tom Moors, Michelle Novak and Holli White. Not all of the 10 who originally intended to run, turned in petitions by the May 3 deadline. A total of 12 seats are open. The possibility of write-in candid~tes was eliminated by the preVIous ASG. Unless that decision is changed in-house elections will be ne~essary to fill the vacant seats. Also on the ballot will be a Yes or No question: Should the students of Palomar adopt a new constitution? This constitution is the same one that students voted down in March. 282 students voted in that election, 144 for and 138 against the proposal. A "yes" vote by three fifths of the student will be necessary for ratification. Proponents of the new constitution say that it allows more student participation in student govemment. It changes election dates for the legislature to the fall, so that new students may run for office. However, opponents say that the proposed constitution will give too much power to the ASG, which will be called the ASPC (Associated Students of Palomar College) if the document is ratified. What the opponents refer to is the creation of a new by-laws section which gives a by-law the full weight of an article of the constitution. An article requires a student vote to amend, whereas a by-law can be changed by in-house vote of the student senate. Proponents argue that because so few students actually vote or even care about student government, it doesn't really matter that this control over the by-laws is not given to the students This year's ASG had a budget of over $50,000 which allowed the ASG to buy a wide screen TV and furniture for the Student Union. The ASG also supports on-campus clubs, The Telescope, KSM99 radio, Bravura, Mayfair, music activities, the Arboretum, the dance program and the Women's Center, as well as providing scholarships and noon concerts.
