  • PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/SEPTEMBER 22, 1977 Carolinian Newsbriefs S. R. 612 passes by DAVID JACKSON Senate Reporter The WCU Student Senate voted Monday night to put Senate Resolution 612 before the student body in I uesdav's election after a heated debate concerning the rights of three senators to vote on the issue. The resolution deals with the power of the president and vice president of SGA to make appointments without senate approval. After the initial senate vote was taken concerning S.R. 612. it was argued that some members present did not have voting powers. I he controversy centered around Senators Lora Motsinger, Kathy Pctterson, and Brent Hyatt. The terms of all three expired this week anyway, but they were not allowed to vote because all had been elected to represent residence halls, but had since moved off campus. According to the by-laws of SGA. a senator loses voting privileges alter doing so. The question as to whether this decision would be made retroactive to other resolutions the three have voted on since moving off campus remains unanswered. The senate is also working on a resolution which will recommend that the university issue parking permits on a semester basis instead of for a full year. This would allow students who complete graduation requirements early, or leave early for other reasons during the year, to do so without paying for a semester of parking space In other senate action, a resolution sponsored by Sen. Hyatt is being considered to establish an ad-hoc committee to investigate commuter student voter registration in Jackson County. Zeke Sossomon was accepted as faculty advisor for SGA and the senate also heard the written resignation of Sen. Jovee Allen from Buchanan Hall. Day goes dogs WCU's Mountain Heritage Day is going to the dogs. Or, at least part of it is. The traditional mountain celebration will once again include a 10 a.m. dog show in its list of attractions. The dog show will be held on the visitors' side of E. J. Whitmire Stadium, and is open to all entrants. There will be first- through third-place ribbons in each of eight classes, plus a trophy for the best in show, to be selected from the winners in each class. Classes of competition will include smallest (dogs must be at least one year old), tallest (measure at withers), ugliest, and look alikes (where the dog and its owner resemble each other). There will be separate "best- looking dog" classes for hounds, other hunting dogs, long-haired non-hunting dogs, and short-haired non- hunting dogs. Registration for the event will be between 9 and 10 a.m. at the west side of the stadium. There will be a 25-cent registration fee for each class the dog enters. Dogs may be entered in no more than three classes. Contest rules require that dogs be kept on a leash at all times, and that they be kept behind the bleachers except when they're being shown. Owners must have dogs under control and must assume responsibility for their dogs at all times. The dog show is being coordinated by a committee of which Dan Robinson is chairman and Cling Pressley is chairman-elect. Other members of the committee are Angle Davis, Lou Haywood, Jo McGinnis, Kathcrine Robinson, Cam Stoltz, and Baxter Wood. Bob Jakes will serve as master of ceremonies for the event. In case of rain, the show will be moved to the concourse underneath the main grandstand at the stadium.
