Boltz to Stay A Senator · As it Sits Now by Robert Davis News Editor, The M etropolitan
The same day he was officially reinstated as a student senator, Ben Boltz announced he was ruruiing for vice president of student government with · Hugo Teufel seeking the president's seat. Two weeks ago AS~SC President Lisa Espiritu said Boltz had been removed due to registration red tape and could only be reappointed by her . But Chris Dahle, chairman of the ASMSC judicial board, said Monday that until someone brought the case to his board Boltz would continue to function as a senator. "As long as no one brings it before the board he (Boltz) will continue to function in whatever capacity he wants to," Dahle said. "But there's no real case before L'1e J-board."

by Bob Darr Special to The Metropolitan
The House Education Committeewill begin hearing testimony on a bill that would transform the governing structure of Colorado's higher education system Wednesday afternoon.
If passed, House Bill 1187 would put the University of Colorado Board of Regents and C. U.'s president in a position to control all state universities, col1e ges and community colleges-eliminating the existing governing boards. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Paul
Schauer, R-Littleton~ would legally define the role and mission of each state supported college. It would also create individual managing boards which would be subject to the policy-making and system-wide authority of the board of regents. The regents would control fiscal policies, appropriations and expenditures. They would be empowered to reorganize or close campuses and appoint or remove the chief executive of each state institution. Additionally, the board would own and administer all property in the state system. The managing board for each institution would direct the daily operations
and make recommendations to the board of regents concerning tuition levels, programs and admission requirements. Before H.B. 1187 can become law, it must pass through all pertinent committees and both houses of the state legislature. Each committee that will . consider the bill has several alternatives. The bill can be amended, assigned to another committee, approved and sent to the rules committee or j><>St:poned indefinitely. If the bill makes it to the floor of the House and is passed, the entire procedure will be repeated in the Senate. 0

That will probably lead to another face-off." because of "administrative games,'' was correct in taking action against Boltz but that "no one had to recognize that." Espiritu, Dahle said, can believe anything she wants but until someone takes a case to the judicial board Boltz will continue as a senator. "Lisa (Espiritu) probably will not recognize what Ben (Boltz) does," Dahle said. "That will probably lead to another face-off between the executive branch and the senate." Dahle was referring to a confrontation like the impeachment attempt launched by Boltz and Teufel against Espiritu and Sutherland. • Teufel ran for the office last year with Dave Porter as the Pail and Shovel Party, a prank campaign that turned out to be the only competition for . Espiritu and Sutherland. "Part of the reason I ran last year was to ma~e a point that student government is positive but those offices aren't taken seriously," Teufel said. He also said student government has been conl.
