This term, it’s resignations. At Wednesday night’s Student Senate meeting, for the second week in a row, two student sena tors announced their resignations. Sens. David Sanchez and Eric Pfeiffer announced they were leav ing the senate. Pfeiffer stepped down as ombudsman last week. At the meeting, Sanchez told the senate he had to quit due to person al reasons that were causing him to leave school for the rest of the term. He said he would miss his fellow senators and called them strong people who were an integral part of his successes. He also said he would try to be appointed to senate when he returns next year. Pfeiffer, however, did not leave the senate on such good terms. He was absent from the meeting and announced his resignation through a letter read by ASUO Vice Presi dent Mitra Anoushiravani. Like the other senators who quit last week, Pfeiffer did not say he was resign ing over the grievances that plagued the senate last term. But that did not • stop him from attacking the ethics of some of the senators. “I guess you’re so used to being able to push people around that when someone tries to work with you, either your own egos or igno rance take precedence over any logic or humanity that may be lurking in your hollow souls,” Pfeiffer said in his letter. Pfeiffer and Sanchez’s depar tures have added to a growing number of vacancies throughout the ASUO. In the coming weeks, the senate will have to approve a new member to the Programs Fi nance Committee, four new sena tors and three justices to the ASUO Constitution Court, which are ex pected to begin at next week’s meeting. The appointments are made by the ASUO Executive and must all be approved by the senate. The constitution court is cur rently missing the necessary judges to decide on a grievance filed in November by senior Scott Austin against the summer stu dent senators. The senate tried to appoint a new justice Wednesday night, but ASUO rules kept them from doing so. The senate also approved Jen nifer Greenough to die open om budswoman position. Greenough was appointed without a vote be cause the other nominee, Sen. Je reme Grzybowski, did not turn in the necessary paperwork before the meeting. Greenough said that, Student senate Sens. David Sanchez and Eric Pfeiffer announced their resigna tions from the senate. It is the sec ond week in a row two senators have resigned. The senate will start approving people to the four open senate po sitions, three open ASUO Constitu tion Court positions and a Pro- , grams Finance Committee position next week. if the senate wishes, she’ll step down and allow for an actual vote to be taken. The Student Senate is the legisla tive branch of the ASUO and han dles financial issues regarding stu dent programs. The senate meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday night in the EMU Board Room, third floor. All students can attend these meetings. Eugene airport anticipates face-lift ■ Planners discuss potential enhancements to facilities based on increased demand By Brian Goodell Oregon Daily Emerald Representatives from the Eu gene and Springfield City Coun cils and the Lane County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing at Eugene City Hall Wednesday night on proposed amendments to the Eugene Air port Master Plan. The Master Plan, originally drafted in 1990, is a long-term so lution to the recent increase in demand for air travel to and from the Eugene/Springfield area. The 1999 amendments to the plan in clude rezoning airport property to accommodate more parking and the construction of a parallel runway east of the primary run way. “This is a demand-driven plan, a flexible plan,” Airport Manager Mike Boggs said. “It improves safety from an operational stand point and provides the greatest reduction in delay among the al tematives.” With safety recommendations from the Federal Aviation Ad ministration and growth projec tions for the next ten years, air port and city officials added the proposal for a new runway to the 1999 Master Plan amendments. “The plan is fiscally conserva tive and operationally adequate,” Airport Advisory Committee Member Phil Groshong said. “I strongly recommend that we ap prove this. It’s a good plan that will serve the community well.” Based on the proposals, the city will need to rezone its cur rent property to account for the new construction projects. Many citizens at the meeting expressed their appreciation with airport and city officials for including them in the project planning. Some, however, expressed dis appointment at the amendment’s proposed zoning of airport proper ty. Clear Lake Estates is the most densely populated area immedi ately bordering the airport bound ary, and the proposed rezoning would potentially bring construc tion within feet of the area’s resi dents. “We are emphatically opposed to the rezoning of this property,” Clear Lake Estates resident Verne Airport expansion Who: Eugene and Springfield City Councilsand the lane Coun ty Board of Commissioners What: Public hearing on proposed amend ments to the Eugene Ai r port Master Plan Why: Safety recommendations from the FAA and growth projec tions will require expansion of airport facilities. Five amend ments to the original master plan are under consideration to improve safety and cut down on delays. Upcoming actions: Eugene City Council will vote on amendments Feb.14 Whittaker said. “Tlje potential impact to my family, along with the 60 plus residents will likely be substantial and offensive.” The Eugene City Council will vote Feb. 14 to accept the pro posed amendments to the master plan.
