Previously, the Election Commission could prosecute violators itself, a power which was ruled unconstitutional by Supreme Court Justice Bobby Dillard last spring. The resolution provides for hearings to be initiated by the Commission if a candidate for office is suspected of not meeting proper qualifications, and for the Commission to regulate campaign practices. Music heritage Bluegrass to folk to old-timey to gospel The Senate is also condidering a resolution which would check the power of the SGA president and vice president to make appointments of SGA officials without senate approval. The resolution proposes an amendment to the SGA constitution and, if accepted, will be put before the student body in a referendum in the regular elections on Tuesday, September 20. (More about this resolution appears in this issue of the Western Carolinian). In other senate proceedings, the University Services Committee is sponsoring a resolution which would recommend that the Office of Traffic and Security expand its nighttime patrol of the WCU campus to include two foot-patrol officers in addition to the two already in patrol cars. The two foot-policemen would concentrate their efforts in the area surrounding the women's residence halls from late at night until daylight. The senate also heard the written resignation of Senator Anthony E. Brown. Jr.. who resigned due to his involvement in other university programs which prevent him from adequately serving the Senate. A final resolution was introduced by Senator David Tedrow which would change the position of editor of the student handbook from an appointed position to a stipended, elected one. If accepted, this resolution will also appear before the voting student body Tuesday since it will require constitutional revision. Music was important in the lives of the early settlers, and music will play an important part in Mountain Heritage Day. to held September 24 at WCU.
