WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS September 06,2000 ASG President Resigns by Dawn N. Pasley Wetvs Editor The president of the Association of Student Governments has resigned the position, and a new president will be elected on Thursday. Cliff Webster, from East Carolina University, was elected president of ASG last spring, but resigned last Monday after the ECU police department charged him with larceny. Webster is accused of stealing two benches from ECU's campus. The value of the benches is greater than $ 1,000, which constitutes larceny. Jonathan Rowe, student body president of WCU, explained that the president of ASG has an ex-officio seat on the Board of Governors of the UNC system. This position allows a student to participate in the board but does not afford voting privileges. According to Rowe, Webster resigned to keep the credibility of that student position with the board. "There was talk that if he had not stepped down, the Board of Governors would have brought about legislation to remove that seat," said Rowe. On Thursday evening, representatives from the universities in the UNC system will convene in Raleigh at the NC State University student senate chambers to vote for a new ASG president. One of WCU's own is running for the position. David Chesley, a senior and chief of communications for the Student Government Association, has had a full year of experience with the ASG and is also the chairman of WCU's College Republicans. Rowe explained that the SGA submitted Chesley as a candidate because of his qualifications. WCU's SGA also wants to bring forth some issues that need to be discussed within the ASG, and they believe that having a candidate in the election will bring forth positive discussion about these issues. Among the other candidates for ASG president include Liz Gardner of UNC- Chapel Hill, current senior vice-president of the ASG; James Bryan of UNC-Greens- boro; Andrew Payne from NC State University; and Richard Wheelihan from Appalachian State University. Chesley; Rowe; Brett Foust, chief of external affairs; Anita Pardo, public defender; and Chris Ertel, chief of staff will represent WCU's SGA at the election. "It puts us behind the eight ball," said Rowe. "There is a lot of pressure on us to pick a capable leader." No, It's Not Too Slow universiti Commentary by Samantha Helms Asst. News Editor The 20 miles per hour speed limit throughout campus that is now emphasized by radar detectors in the police vehicles has caused heartache for some drivers. You have those who feel that the posted speed is a setback regarding the time they allow to travel to their destination, simply because it is "too slow." At the same time, there are those drivers who abide by the posted speed with a ruthless driver riding their ass. Even the most cautious and rational of drivers can lose their cool when instigated by a rude follower. This can lead to attitudes, accidents and overall mayhem. There is no truth behind the perception that the speed limit is too slow. Pedestrians roam the streets on campus as if they have the right to walk in front of moving vehicles whenever they choose, ignoring the obvious crosswalks that are there for that very purpose. Yes, such people lack the logic that concludes that vehicles are larger and more massive than your typical human, and can cause serious damage if provoked. Regardless, drivers have to consider that Western's campus is swarming with these individuals, who may react a bit crass if they are prevented from completing their stride. The conclusion: allow these people to cross and try your very best to remain civilized. If acceptable conduct is not an option, you have to consider and obey the law at hand. In a school zone, pedestrtians do have the right-of-way. Think of campus police as crossing guards. If they are not present, the same principles still apply. The issue of the tailgators involves many aspects. First and foremost, following too close is against N.C. state law. You can be cited. WCU police should enforce state law and institute a campus policy forbidding tailgating. We learn in drivers' education that we should stay two car lengths behind the car in front of us to prevent a mishap or prepare for the unforeseeable. Certain individuals disregard this rule; obviously this calls for enforcing the law. A more convenient and honorable solution is for drivers to develop some level of respect for their fellow motorists. Doing so would help create a safe environment and enable the driving experience to be more pleasurable. The law aside, what if a pedestrian were to carelessly step off the curb into the road'' You would have to stop suddenly, if you have a conscience, to prevent hitting the person. Last year, several pedestrians were hit by drivers who were going too fast and not paying attention. As for those who insist on basically riding with the driver in front of them, what the hell is your problem and where is your common sense? Considering your behavior, you lack what is essential for being a safe driver. You may be in a hurry, or late, or just plain out pissed off at the world during that particular time, all of which are not justifiable exuses for tailgating. The driver in front of you may be experiencing something similar to a lesser or higher degree. Put yourself in his or her shoes and contemplate how you would react. That's right. Your impulse control or sanity would be distorted as well. university ANNOUNCEMENTS SGA Senate If you are interested in representing your part of campus in the SGA Senate, the deadline to turn in Senate applications to the SGA office is Monday Sept. 11 at 6 pm.
