Shilling remands new building resolution By Shannon Blockcolski Editor A resolution proposing the construction of a campus organization's activities building was remanded by Student Association President Jeff Shilling due to the need for more research. In his executive report to the student senate Monday, Shilling said there were several questions concerning the building needing to be answered before he would sign the resolution. Some of Shilling's questions included: how much revenue is raised in union fees annually, what other expenses are involved in operating the University Center and how much of the University Center is available for student services.

A task force involving student senators John Hewell, Sue Starkey, Timothy Morales, Speaker of the House Nelaine Greenwalt and Deputy Speaker Kirk Killion were assigned to research the resolution. In other student senate business, a resolution requesting the extension of the Sunday evening sack dinner as an option to all resident students passed by consent. The resolution creating a no meal plan alternative for resident students with work conflicts or special diets also passed by consent. One of the resolution's authors, John Hewel, said the option was available to students, but the resolution was written to let

residents know the plan was available. Two other resolutions, one calling for improvements in the current housing contract and another requesting resident students with the ten meal plan be able to eat on the weekends, were postponed until Feb. 23. Student Senator Roger Acebo's resolutions calling for student senators to serve one hour of duty for availability in the college of their choice and establishing guidelines for use of the Student Association computer passed. During debate on the senator availability resolution, Hewel asked, "Why can't the students come and see us in the office, why should we have to go and seek out the problems?"

Acebo's other legislation recommending an un-intimidating and un-biased atmosphere during the student senate meetings was tabled until Feb. 23. New resolutions submitted to the student senate include one calling for the student activity fee to be itemized from tuition charges on the enrollment printout. Authored by Greenwalt, Morales and student senator Randy Anduss, the resolution stated, "Whereas many students are unaware of the origin of the activity fund ... students have an

undeniable right to know that a major part of their tuition dollars is an activity fee. "The activity fee should be printed independently in a currently vacant space on the computer printout, which is received by each student upon enrollment." Also submitted to the student senate was a resolution authored by Student Senator Bill Smith calling for the establishment of a special committee to plan and coordinate events on campus in recognition of the bicentennial of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Students to discuss education at model legislative sessions Students will debate issues ranging from the state budget to penalities for certain crimes during the spring session of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature Feb 18-22 at the State Capitol. A special emphasis will be placed on educational issues, said Jeff Aynes, CSU delegation chairman. CSU will be represented by 26 delegates and alternates. O.I.L. is a model legislature based on the workings of the Oklahoma state legislature. Ses-

sions are held twice during the academic year, and delegates from O.I.L. represent 16 institutions of higher education in Oklahoma. "O.I.L. is an excellent opportunity to learn about the workings of the state government from the inside," Aynes said. Student delegates from CSU in the House are: Aynes, Lee Allen, Mohammad Afzal, alternate; Jerry Blansett, Vletha Edwards, Nelaine Greenwalt, Jay Paul Gumm, John Hewel, John Hunt,

alternate; Coleen Kavanuagh, Suzanne Knopp, Brent Lively, Mary McCauley, Patricia McLean, alternate; Kenneth Roe, Cheryl Schuler, Jeff Shilling, alternate; Keith Singleton, Kent Sneed, alternate; Farshad Werner, alternate; and Mark Wilmont.
