Reprimand, withdrawal
highlight ASG meeting
By Leanne Lally
Of The Print
A verbal reprimand of
Associated Student Gover­
nment President Don Porter
and the withdrawal from the
presidential race of Tom
Hammett were two of the
highlights of Thursday’s ASG
meeting.
Hammett, who was running
for ASG president, informed
the ASG of his withdrawal,
saying,the position is, “not wor­
th the effort.” ...
“There is too much personal
self interest in ASG,”- said
Hammett. “It is not a healthy
environment.” He will also be
attending a different college
next year.
Along with Hammett’s with­
drawal, Porter became the
target for criticism levied by
Vincent (Max) Maxian. When
Max explained his dissatisfac­
tion with Porter’s reign over
ASG, Darren MacFarlane,
ASG business
manager,
quickly came to the rescue.
“I think we did a good job,”
MacFarlane said. “This year’s
ASG was young and -inex­
perienced and we got a lot of
shit kicked at us. I think we
have done a good job even
though we have been criticized.
We ought to pat ourselves on
the back and give ourselves a
round of applause.” Then the
members of the ASG ap­
plauded and business went on
as usual.
“I think some members of
ASG were looking . for a
scapegoat when they tried to
impeach Porter,” said Ham­
mett. “I don’t think the abuse ■

he got was fair, especially this
late in the uear.”
“I don’t take things like that
too personal,” said Porter. “If I
did, I would give myself an
ulcer.”
Porter has compiled a per­
sonal dossier of how much time
he has spent with ASG and
what he has done. “I was in­
volved in the beginning and I
am involved now,” said Porter.
¿T’will be around next year,
too.”
Porter continued,. “I feel sad
that anyone would bring ac­
cusations against me.”
MacFarlane went over the
budget situation later in the
meeting and presented some
ways to fatten it up. “We are
going to have to do some belt
tightening, ’’hésaid. '
