Transcript

Western Carolinian February 8,1996 News Four Weeks After Semester's Start, SGA Holds First Meeting by James Gray Staff Reporter With 24 senators present, the SGA conducted its weekly business in Camp Lab, room 103, Monday afternoon. Ten resolutions were scheduled for voting at this week's meeting. After Secretary Joe Monroe took roll, Vice President Rhonda Cole called the meeting to order. "We need senators, guys," Cole said. "We need three more commuters and two more residents. So if you know anybody {interested}, tell them to come talk to me or to go to Student Development." The first order of business was resolution 1685, a bill that would put a referendum for 24-hour visitation on the ballot in the spring elections. The sponsor postponed this resolution until a later meeting. The next resolution, 1686, was a failed attempt to reinstate the Stray Cats Security Service. Its sponsor, Senator Bob Hodges, said, "I have close to five hundred signatures on {a petition}. .. These people want to have this service. They feel it is necessary." President Jessica Laverty said that she, too, was concerned with campus safety. "I am aware that many of you have asked that actions be taken {to make the campus safer}," Laverty said. "Several of you may have seen the five blue lights {safety phones} that were put up around campus... Right now, we're the eighteenth safest campus in the entire United States, and I hope that some day we will be number one." The next item, resolution 1701, was intended to nullify a reprimand brought against Senator Bob Hodges in spring semester of 1995. Since Justin Holmes, the chairman of last year's Rules Committee, is no longer part of the senate, and no resolutions can be struck from the records, Cole referred the matter back to the Rules Committee. Resolutions 1683, 1700 and 1704 appointed commuters Ryan Hampton, Sherry Hipp, Greg Leslie, Matt Gilbert and Jay Small to the senate. All five were voted in. Resolution 1702 called for Tyreace Dixon's appointment as attorney general of student court. The next two resolutions were appointments of justices. Resolution 1703 appointed Randy Brewer to Chief Justice of the Traffic Court, and 1706 appointed Brent Roberts to the Supreme Court. The final resolution, 1705, expelled senators Heather Lamb, Brad Ball and Shawn Parker. Those in attendance voted this bill into motion. At closing, Cole swore five new senators into office. PRSSA..."UPAND RUNNING" by Shaun Davis Members of the Public Relations Student Society of America have voted in their first slate of officers. PRSSA is a national pre- professional organization created to assist public relations students in networking, resume writing, interviewing and communicating on job markets. WCU's PRSSA chapter President Beth Lowery has big plans for the group. One of the major goals will be to attend the annual PRSSA conference, to be held this year in St. Louis. Rounding out the officers are Vice-President Kacy Seay, Secretary Stephanie Tully, Treasurer Heather Broome, PR Director Shaun Davis and Historian Patrick Blankenship. Dr. Betty Farmer, PRSSA advisor, encourages anyone who is interested in becoming a member to attend the next meeting on February 7th at 7pm in Stillwell 116. Race for North Carolina Governor Continues by Danielle Lawson Staff Reporter The race for the Republican nomination for governor continues to heat up as Richard Vinroot, the mayor of Charlotte, campaigns against fellow Republicans Robin Hayes, a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, and Steve Arnold, a Guilford County commissioner. "The voters will have a real clear choice between a conservative leader with their interests at heart or a Bill Clinton clone with a hidden agenda," Vinroot said. The 54-year-old Vinroot was named the 1995 Municipal Leader of the Year by American City & Country magazine for his accomplishments while serving as mayor of Charlotte. He was commended for his efforts in fighting crime, privatizing government, solving transportation problems and creating over 14,000 jobs. Vinroot said, "I am pleased to win this honor. I believe it highlights some of the successes of my administration and outlines my qualifications to be Governor of North Carolina." In his time as mayor of Charlotte, Vinroot has privatized many government operations, saving taxpayer's money. These savings have allowed the city to reallocate funds to improve inner city schools and socioeconomic problems. The money was also used to develop a regional approach to solving environmental and transportation problems. "Under my leadership, we cut the bureaucracy by almost 700 positions through privatization and downsizing," Vinroot said. Vinroot maintains that if elected he will work to make government leaner, more responsive, more productive and more efficient, all at a lower cost to the people of North Carolina. He said in the November 13, 1995 statement that, "I want to do for North Carolina as governor what I have done for Charlotte as mayor; make it an even better place to live." He goes on to say that Charlotte has become one of the lowest-taxed big cities in America and the lowest-taxed city in North Carolina. "Under my leadership, we didn't raise taxes for nine straight years," said Vinroot. According to a press release by Vinroot's campaign headquarters, Vinroot won the Official North Carolina Republican Party Straw Poll with 232 votes (53%). The release stated that Hayes received 133 votes and Arnold only 71 votes. "The Hayes and Arnold campaigns purchased around 70 tickets (each ticket was a vote) accounting for over a third of their total, while the Vinroot campaign did not purchase any," said the press release. Vinroot said, "I am going to once again make the Governor's office a place the people of North Carolina can be proud of. The people of North Carolina want a conservative leadership they can be proud of."
