Western Carolinian April 11,1996 News SGA Elections: Disqualifications and Accusations by Tony Taylor Associate Editor The annual SGA elections, held on April 3, produced a run-off between SGA President Jessica Laverty and Joe Monroe, while bringing allegations of improper campaigning against Paul Locklear. The SGA vice-presidential race was won by Andrew Brock. However, candidate Marcus Demaaijer is filing a complaint because his name was misspelled. Laverty led all presidential candidates with 269 votes. Locklear was a close second with 265 votes. However, Locklear was disqualified for improper campaigning. He commented, "Allegations were made that I supposedly had people across the street campaigning for me. I am appealing it to the Student Supreme Court." Locklear added that he would like to thank everyone who came out and voted for him. The Supreme Court will make a decision on the case Monday. Rhonda Cole, who is in charge of the elections committee, made the decision that Locklear violated campaign rules. The elections committee has the power to make such decisions under the SGA constitution, specifically, Article 2, Section 4. The run-off is scheduled for Wednesday, April 17. In the event that Locklear is cleared of the allegations, he will replace Monroe in the run-off. A constitutional issue was also passed that prohibits individuals who are on SGA probation from seeking the office of president or vice president. In the vice-presidential race, Andrew Brock won with a commanding 65% of the vote. Senator Marcus Demaaijer is filling a complaint because his name was misspelled on the ballot. Demaaijer argues that the misspelling confused some of the people who might have voted for him. Therefore, he is calling for a run-off election between him and Brock. The Supreme Court will rule on this on Monday also. The results of the Supreme Court cases, along with the election results, will be published in the April 18 issue of the Carolinian. SGA Report: More Money for the CAP Center 'Hot L Baltimore' Comes To WCU by James Gray Staff Reporter At least 25 senators were present at the SGA meetings on April 1 and 8. One resolution passed during each session. On April 1, S.R. 1722, a proposal to donate $1,000 annually to the CAP Center, sponsored by Jay Small, was brought back to the floor for a vote. Vice President Rhonda Cole sent this resolution to the Finance Committee during a meeting before spring break. The conditions of allocation were changed from $500 per semester to $1,000 annually, and S.R. 1722 passed without objection. Cole then asked senators to stay around for the presidential and vice presidential debates that were broadcast on WWCU after the meeting. President Jessica Laverty encouraged the senate to participate in the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs search committee as a closing announcement before the motion to adjourn. The April 8 resolution, S.R. 1728, sponsored by the Office of the President, was a proposition to change the regulations for run-off elections. The current rules require that the run-off be held within 10 days of the first election. "We can't have the run-off this week because they are [Joe Monroe and Jessica Laverty] going to Florida," said Rhonda Cole. Laverty and Monroe will be attending an regional SGA convention in Florida, and the departure of their flight conflicts with holding a run-off before Friday, April 12. Rescheduling the flights would cost the SGA $800. "So we want to change it [effective immediately] in case this type of thing happens again," Cole added. Only one senator voted against S.R. 1728. In final business, Cole gave the results of the election. She said there is an appeal pending in both the presidential and vice presidential elections. Both are scheduled to be heard in the Student Supreme Court before Wednesday, April 17. Before dismissing the meeting, Cole reminded all senators to attend next Monday's meeting, the last one scheduled for this semester. Political Commentator Hal Crowther to Visit WCU by Melanie Steele Contributing Writer It's show time again. This week, WCU's theatre department will present its fourth and last production of the 1995-96 season. "The Hot L Baltimore," written by Lanford Wilson and directed by Dr. Lawrence Hill, will be presented every night at 7:30 p.m. from Tuesday, April 16 to Saturday, April 20. This play takes place during 1973. The setting is an old run-down hotel that is scheduled to be torn down in a month. Inside the hotel are a variety of people that all have an effect on each other's lives with their interaction. Michelle Thomas, a cast member describes it as, Horse, morphing, and amputation. There is no more to say!" The actors cast in this play have been working for months to make this show a success. "This play has been challenging and insightful. It says a lot about how people put their petty problems above what is truly important," says cast member Sam Robison. Students, shop assistants, and faculty have also been hard at work building and sewing to create a spectacular visual element. Shannon Madden, wardrobe crew chief and props mistress, says, "It has an interesting set, a lot of colorful costumes, and many good actors in the cast." Tickets can be purchused at the Communication & Theatre Arts department office in 123 Stillwell or at the box office on the night of the play. However, if you plan to buy them the night of the play, you should probably get there early. Tickets can also be reserved by calling 7491. Journalist and political essayist Hal Crowther will deliver a talk titled "Unarmed But Dangerous" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 17. The program, to be held in the recital hall of Coulter Building, is the final event of the sixth annual Cullowhee Arts Festival. The election-year festival focuses on the theme "Politics: Reflections Through the Arts and Humanities." Crowther has spent his working life in journalism, including stints at Time and Newsweek magazines and the Buffalo News. He began writing editorial essays for The Spectator in Raleigh in 1980 and became a columnist for the rival Independent in Durham nine years later. His work for the Independent won the prestigious H.L. Mencken Award in 1992. In making the award, the Baltimore Sun wrote: "Hal Crowther has the narrowed pupil of a sharpshooter, the hairy ear of a heavy artilleryman, and the ballistic rifling of an implacable anathematist." One critic praised Crowther for his social commentary, which "plots the decline and fall of this hemorrhaging republic we call home." Another said: "Crowther's commentary derides and debunks, attacks and antagonizes, calls names and kicks butt, and most important, tells the truth. He may very well be the las un-bought voice in journalism today. Crowther lives in Chapel Hill with his wife, novelist Lee Smith. His program at WCU is co-spon- sored by the Visiting Writers Series and is part of "Celebrating Western," aisenjf^' long series of activities showcasing W students, faculty and staff, and its academic and athletic programs.
