Restructure Board
Forfeits Quorum
The Erb Memorial Union Hoard lost its quorum just as it was
reedy to vote on the controversial EMU-ASUO restructure proposal
after a five and one half hour meeting Wednesday.
Two hoard members were selected Wednesday, also. Shannon
Lees and John Hitchcock will replace two members who didn’t
return this fall.
The hoard defeated the proposal once during the meeting,
In a live to three vote. But discussion was resumed, two provisions
added, and a re vote started.
Then, with a "I cannot vote on this now,” Jcri Lynn Coney left,
and with a "Sorry,” Allyn Brown followed. Six board members
did not come for the discussion.
Under the proposal, the hoard would become two bodies; a
Student Administration Hoard (SAH) for policy making, and a
Program Department, headed by a Program Council, for pro
gramming.
The proposal would also dissolve the Student Activities Com
mittee, and give Its powers to the SAB. Besides EMU program
ming, the Program Department would also take over all
programming now done by the ASUO Senate.
According to Mark Stephens, hoard vice-chairman, the proposal
would eliminate programming duplication, promote better com
munications and in-depth, integrated programming, and relieve
both the hoard and senate from programming responsibilities.
Stephens, ASUO President Scott Karleigh, and Farleigh’s Ad
ministrative Assistant Steve Hhodes wrote the proposal.
The general tone of conversation among board members indi
cated they didn’t believe the proposal in its present form was the
answer.
All board members favored consolidation of programming be
tween the board and senate, but only Stephens and Bob Bartlett
favored the proposal completely.
Miss Coney and the others expressed concern for the autonomy
and perpetuation of the Program Council.
Miss Coney said she was afraid the Program Council would
be subservient to the ASUO executive branch The ASUO Presi
dent appoints its chairman, but the division chairmen of the
Program Department have to ratify the appointment.
If the Program Council could be a self .sufficient, perpetual
body, with the same autonomy as the (present) board, then I’m
not afraid of changing," said Miss Coney.
Brown was more reluctant. "The present structure (which went
into effect late last spring) hasn’t had a chance to show its merits.
How can this be a logical move to in-depth, integrated program
ming? It’s going in the opposite direction,” he said. “I see the
benefit in co-ordinated programming, but I can’t see tearing apart
our structure to accomodate student government,” Brown said.
The possible status of the SAB was also discussed. The EMU
Board, although subject to review by the senate, is not a senate
committee and cannot be dissolved by the senate.
It is an equal branch of the ASUO, pointed out Bill Hershman.
Under the proposal, “The Student Administration Board shall
perform the duties delegated to it by the Associated Students."
The two provisions suggested by Stephens are:
• "Elimination of the Program Council can only be made by
mutual consent of the Program Council and the ASUO.
• "Elimination of the Student Administration Board can only
be made by mutual consent of the Student Administration Board
and the ASUO."
Before the proposal can go into effect, the faculty must delegate
the powers of the Student Activities Committee to the senate.
And the senate and EMU Board must approve the proposal.
Final approval rests with University President Arthur S. Flemming.

ASUO Senate Discusses
Senators' Visitation Bill
By GIL JOHNSON
Of the Emerald
Having “cleared the way for
progress" in the previous meet
ing, the ASUO Senate failed to
advance very far in Thursday
night's session.
Passing three bills and tabling
one, the senators spent most of
their time on a resolution for
Senate visitation. The bill re
scinded one on the same subject
passed last year.
Introduced by Senator Jake
Warsaw, the Senate visitation bill
completely revised the one of last
year. In the new measure, sena
tors, on request from the Chair
man of Committees, may go to
living organizations to inform the
students on ASUO goals and ac
tivities.
The living organizations, the
bill points out, must be “con
cerned,” meaning that any liv
ing organization that does not
want to be visited will not be.
The Senate members are re
sponsible for visiting designated
living organizations throughout
their terms of office. A senator
may visit as many houses as he
wishes, or none if he so de
sires, but he must continue the
visits during the year if he does
take the obligation.
Questions were raised on the
points that the Chairman of Com
mittees may not request the sen
ators to visit, the senators are not
required to visit, and that there
is no specific period of time
between visitations.
An amendment to change the
line, "the Chairman of Commit
tee may request . . .” to insert
“shall” instead of "may” failed.
The idea was that more visitations
would be scheduled if the chair
man of committees was forced to
assign the visitations.
The second objection to the bill
was that senators did not have
to visit organizations, nor did the
living organizations have to ac
cept visitors.
“Do we neglect apathy," asked
Senator Dick Jones, "just because
they may prefer to remain apath
etic doesn’t mean we should al
low them to remain that way. We
should visit all the living organ
izations, whether they want us to
come or not.”
Warsaw answered these charges
by saying “it is the individual
senator’s responsibility to visit
the houses, to get to know the
constituency, and to represent
their ideas.”
The objection that there was
no specification on how many
times a year a senator should vis
it was answered on the same
grounds. It should be the sen
ator’s duty and responsibility, ]
Warsaw said, to see that his con
stituents are visited at appropri-j
ate times.
Theoretically, this means a sen
ator may talk to a living organi
I zation in periods ranging from
1 once a year to once a week. The
I number of visitations a year
should be up to the senator.
Phil Barnhart noted that the1
i bill was an improvement over the I
previous one, where senators had
i to visit three different living or-1
I ganizations every month, never
getting to know the students of
one house adequately.
“In the new system,” Barnhart
said, ‘The students are better
represented.”
Also passed were measures to
change the name of Erb Memorial
j Union to Erb Memorial Student
■ Union, and to approve the new
ASUO Committee on Discrimina
i tion.
Appointments to the Discrim
ination Committee, Elections
Board, Elections Court and Sen
[ ate Research Committees were all
approved.
The bill on abolishing the draft
which was scheduled for the
meeting had been delayed in
committee and reset for next
week’s session.
Notices of motion for next
meeting included a policy to de
fine discrimination, referendum
on NSA, universalization of the
pass-no-pass option, closing hours,
building a foot bridge across the
mill race, giving the food conces
sions at the new stadium to the
ASUO, and setting up a complete
ly new ASUO constitution.
