SGA reports.. .visitation discussed Terrie Bentley Staff Writer Students voting in the next Student Government election will be required to present their IDs, the Student Senate voted Tuesday, Feb. 23*. The resolution, which was sponsored by Senator Courtney Montross, said that using ID cards "would establish beyond a reasonable doubt, the fairness and the ethical nature of the elections themselves." It added that "SGA could eliminate any reckless disregard or falsification by unscrupulous conduct by voters or those at the ballot box, and ensure candidates the validity of voting practices and results." Senator Jeffrey Sykes said last spring during elections, people supporting a candidate voted in the morning, then returned to vote for friends who could not go to the election. "This way, no voter can cheat, and no ballot box worker can cheat..." "I don't want to go through a repeat performance and have good people getting hurt," Montross said. Senator Chris Dillow said that this way, there would be "no question about the winner or loser." However, some senators expressed doubt about the idea. Senator Mike Burke said that "it's hard enough to get people to go vote." The Student Senate passed a resolution calling for a 24-hour visitation option in the dorms. The resolution will go to Dr. Glenn Stillion, Vice-Chancellor of Student Development. Based on Appalachian State University's dorms, this calls for a system with two types of visitation. Freshmen at ASU are required to live in a "B option" dorm that has limited visitation from 12 pm until 2 am. A "B-plus" residence hall permits 24-hour visitation on the weekends, and a "C option" allows for "total 24-hour visitation." The resolution stated that ASU's "administration recognized five years ago that their students should be treated as mature, responsible adults, and [does] not feel that 24 hour visitation encourages or con dones cohabitation." The Student Senate passed a resolution to "educate the newly elected senators" on parliamentary procedure. Dawson sponsored the resolution, and said this "would eliminate confusion." A resolution concerning the Senate Committee Appropriation Hearings was sent to the rules committee. Dawson also sponsored a resolution calling for elections of senators to be held in the fall. This "might increase participation the Student Senate," said Dawson. Senator Chris Dillow added that having the elections in the fall "might save $40-50 dollars in programming the ballot boxes." The SGA plans to use electronic ballot boxes from Sylva. SGA Vice-President, Shannon Elliotte announced that filings for Last Minute Productions' vice- president and president offices started on February 24, and that the election is scheduled for March 31. ^xxxxzxxzxxxxxxxxxrxx XJXXXXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXXX m Pfcce» 4lut.

Vance Hobbs StaffWriter The brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity conducted a clothing drive last Thursday to benefit the Women's Auxiliary League of Sylva. The clothing drive is an annual event hosted by Lambda Chi that has a bit of an odd twist. Lambda Chi Brothers dress up in costumes imitating gangsters of the 1920's, and then they kidnap each sororities' president until a ransom payment is delivered. The ransom? As many articles of clothing as each sorority can collect, which also guaranties the safe return of their president. "We hoped to collect 200 bags and we received 160, which is a high percentage of our goal," said Pat Dillingham, the coordinator of the clothing drive. The clothes were delivered to the Women's Auxiliary League of Sylva and from there, they will be distributed to persons inneed of emergency clothing. Donations are still being accepted and will be graciously appreciated by both Lambda Chi and the Women's Auxiliary League. If you would like to make a donation of clothing or desire more information, may contact Pat Dillingham at 293-9981, or the Women's Auxiliary League at 586- 7000. SMSPA plans officers' nominations Andrew Sink Contributing Writer Is anyone out there interested in acquiring the best available positions in sports? Don't you wish that there was an organization on campus that geared towards assisting those of us interested in obtaining a position in the sports field? In fact, there is: the Sports Management Student Professional Association (SMSPA). The main objective of this organization is to provide students with opportunities to build up their network of contact people, and therefore, to enhancing the possibilities of receiving a prominent position after graduation. A few of the opportunities this organization can provide are: meeting and getting to know general managers of professional basketball, baseball, and football teams, as well as the ProServ Vice President, the Event and Facilities Manager of the Georgia Dome, and many more. In addition, the Sports Super Show is in Atlanta, where there were thousands of individuals with various sporting goods companies, not to mention a hundreds of professional athletes, such as Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Mickey Mantle, Ozzie Smith, Ronnie Lou, and Joe Montana, just to name a few. The best aspect of this Super Show was that it was completely free of charge. TheSMSPArunby students for students offers a point system. Points can be earned for coming to meetings and helping with activities. In exchange, the SMSPA pays for you to attend conferences and shows that you may not have the opportunity to attend otherwise. So don't fumble away this great opportunity; be a PTP-Prime Time Participant. SMSPA hold nominations and elections for officers at 7 pm on March 14th on the top floor ofBreeze Gym, Room 2. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. , • Z 5 0 f— 0 3 DC s __ c_ Z 0 0 Urn z z D LU H DC z O LU Q 5 3 H 1/5 DC 0 LU LU X ir> h- mm K S 1 CN ur> CS > h> < © Q o CO r- 1 z r- < _l LU _l u < a.
