  • February 29,1996 Western Carolinian 13 Editorials erotomndipity The Politics of Appeasement by Tony Taylor Covering the news is never easy, despite what the experts say. It's often dull, boring, tedious and depressing. Sooner or later, you meet every low-life scumbucket, two-bit hustler on the block. Every crackpot wants you to promote his special event, administrators want to keep you at bay for fear that you may learn about a hairbrained scheme they're planning to unleash on the student body. And the students, well, they would rather not think about the negative aspects of campus life. One of the negatives associated with news average is having t0 report the dirt °n fellow students—especially those in paid 'eadership posi- tio^Werational- lze this by saying that students who are paid for such dl«'es should be he1d accountable to tne students they serve. Most student-run , organizations follow procedures and Splines that are designed to prevent me61!!1313bUSeS °f authority- However, the Z u " °f 0ne organization believe they ^ above such policies: the SGA we k, Carolinian began covering the Sj C y SGA meetings on November 9. m CC that time. the SGA has had four no J"85 canceled for lack of attendance and Nevertheless, the reinstatement of an escort service has been shot down three times once in the fall semester, and twice in the spring. This leaves a lot of questions to be answered by the SGA—especially President Jessica Laverty and Vice President Rhonda Cole. Laverty has been present at every meeting at which the issue was voted on. Stray Cats was voted on. She also engaged in debate with Senator Hodges and other members of the SGA. This is prohibited by ., n • u, N„Unn leading a nightime protest march in front of the Former SGA President Dmght ^\onl'a^ %hoto ,akenfrom A Mountain Heritage chancellor's home.

Under the House Rules provision for the bylaws, Laverty is allowed to address the Senate. However, she is not allowed to debate. If she is the sponsor of a resolution, she can answer questions regarding it, but only Senators may debate in the Senate. To my knowledge, Laverty is not the sponsor of resolution 1711, which proposes the reinstatement of the service. This means that she should not have been present when the resolution was debated. Therefore, Laverty is in violation of the SGA bylaws. Why is Laverty so anxious to see the Stray Cats issue defeated? I'm not sure, but I bet it could be because Chancellor Bardo doesn't want to see a student-run escort service on campus. Laverty stated at the 2/ 19 Senate meeting that "Chancellor Bardo would rather flip over in his grave than see an escort service on this campus." Chancellor Bardo said on Campus Update, a radio show hosted by Professor John Owens, that he would favor a shuttle service over an escort service. The questions that Laverty and other SGA officials need to ask themselves are: who is requesting the shuttle service, and whom do you serve? The service certainly isn't for Chancellor Bardo or any other WCU official. The students of WCU are the ones who have asked for the service and they are the individuals that need it. Doesn't President Laverty represent the students of WCU? If this is true, then why is she trying so hard to appease the administration? This is a far cry from the SGA leadership that Western has enjoyed in the past. In 1973, SGA president Dwight Nelson led student protests, including a nighttime march in front of the Chancellor's home, to show his opposition with the administration's policies. Nelson wasn't trying to win ^^^^^^^^^^ popularity contests with the bureaucrats at the White House; he represented the students of WCU. As I stated earlier, nearly 500 students signed a petition in support of the escort service. The total number of signatures for this service exceeded the number of students who voted in the SGA election last year. These are the same students who could vote for new leadership on March 29, unless the SGA begins to take their needs seriously. The students of WCU deserve student leadership that's committed to serving them, not administrators. If the students of Western want an escort service, then they should be given one. A word of advice for Laverty: Remember who voted for you last year. It wasn't Bardo or any other university official. It was the students of WCU. LISTEN TO THEM!!!
