  • The Western Carolinian VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Vol. XXXVI, No. 30 January 29, 1971 Western Carolina University j " • ■ Cullowhee, N.C. Women's House cases illegal All Judicial cases which came before Women's House Government this academic year have been declared illegal by the Senate Rules Committee,, Students who were tried by WHG this year "are hereby aquitted and any penalties affecting these students are to cease immediately," according to the ruling made by the Student Senate Rules Committee yesterday afternoon. The ruling was prompted by the disclosure that WHG had not conducted its judicial hearings in accordance with the Student Bill of Rights, which states in Article Six, that, "m the absence of a transcript, there shall be a digest and > tape recording of the near- ing." This means that there must be a word by word record of all hearings. MORE THAN 3000 PEOPLE EXPERIENCED CHICAGO iMt Sunday and SPEC took in over $12,000. Approximately $1,500 profit was rt»li»* from the concert which will be used to finance entertainment later in the year. Dick's Gap Road may be no parking zone In an effort to improve the hazardous conditions of Dick's Gap Road (South Central Dr.) James Kirkpatriek, WCU Business Manager has requested the N. C. Highway Commission (Mon., Jan. z&; "to investigate the possibility of designating this street as 'no parkingat any time.' " according to wwg Reed, WCU Director of Public Relations. Campus police were also directed by Mr, Kirkpatriek to patrol, on a regular basis, Dick's Gap Road, and to re- Li news analysis Soger Williams port any infraction of the law to the Highway Patrol immediately. The section of Speedwell Road in the vicinity of the Presbyterian Student Center was also designated to be patrolled. Although these two new patrol areas are off campus and, by state law, campus police have no jurisdiction in these areas, they will be patrolled in an effort to cut down on the speeding and parking violations. Since Jan. 4 of this year, the University has made an effort to improve the conditions of the strip of road through Dick's Gap on which four students have wrecked in the past year. "We asked N. C. Highway Patrol to crack down on speeding on and off campus in the area of Cullowhee," said Reed. Reed cited a meeting that took place the morning of Jan. 4, at which several WCU administrators and members of the N.C. Highway Commission discussed the general traffic problem in Cullowhee. According to Reed, it was the opinion of those present that the basic problems In Cullowhee were enforcement and conformity to the law. Concerning Dick's Gap Road in particular, the Commission can not lower the speed limit below 20 mph already posted. That same day, officials from university requested more assistance from the N, C. Highway Patrol and Trooper Pike, who patrols this area, assured the officials that additional assistance would be given. New senate procedure explained WHG has never kept an accurate word by word record of any of its Judicial sessions, according to Jane Queen, WHG President, either this year or in past years. This includes Hall Board hearings and the judicial hearings of WHG. The ruling which censored WHG's past judicial action's, stated that the importance of this issue was not whether the outcome of any particular judgement would be affected, but dealt "with a very crucial and very basic concept of justice, which, on this campus, is crying out for recognition." The ruling further stated that "procedural lair play is absolutely essential to the legitimacy of any judicial hearing." Men's House Government, according to David Harling, MHG President, began taping their h—rtoge last quarter, but neglected to record one ease. Day Student Government had transcripts made all last year and has continued this year, with tee exception of traffic violations. Women's Residence Hall Presidents, who chair Hall Board Hearings, were asked if they knew they were to transcribe proceedings and stated that they had no knowledge of this section of the Student BUI of Rights. Miss Queen stated that she could see WHG was in the wrong, but wished that someone would have brought it to their attention sooner. "It is ridiculous that this had to happen," said David Huskins, SGA President, "It is the responsible*- of all our senators and particularly judicial officers to know the BUI of Rights inside out." Sometime during Uie 40 confusing minutes it met last week, the Student Senate without much ado, adopted what is possibly the most expert program of innovation it has ever seen. The proposal, forbodingly titled a "Report on Procedural Restructuring of the Student Senate," outlines for the first time methods and processes necessary for the Student Senate to pass a resolution. In the past, most of the motions made in a senate meeting were spur of the moment motions. The lack of a formal procedure to follow aUowed little or no investigation of these motions, so as a result many senators felt they were constantly being put on the spot. But, with this new procedure, senators wUl come to meetings informed of all impending legislation. Essentially, the report deals with how a resolution works its way through toe senate. Legislation may originate from four sources, from the Executive Office, from individual senators, by a petition from the Student Body, or from a Senate Committee. Legislation from the first three sources foUows a similar procedure. First, the proposed legislation is read at a Senate meeting, then copies are given to each senator. Next, the proposal is assigned to a committee, which wUl investigate and make any comments or recommendations It chooses. At the following senate meetingthe proposal will be read again and this time voted on. This gives senators a full week to think about the legislation. A bill that is formulated by a committee, follows a somewhat different process. The legislation must first be given to the President of the Senate 72 hours before the senate meets. Each senator will be mailed a copy, and at the next senate meeting, the committee's proposal, in the form of a motion, wUl be voted upon by the Senate.
