ASG hosts first open meeting By Alison Hull Of the Print I The Associated Student Government meeting was held in the fireside lounge last week, to enhance the organization’s visibility. “We had the meeting there so we could show the students we’re here and work ing,” Sam Crosby, ASG Presi dent said. Reactions to the first open meetihg of the year were mix ed. Rob Williams, a student who attended the meeting said, “I think the group (ASG) is apathetic. I think the job Of stu dent government is entertain ment.” Another student said that he was “Just listening to the B.S.” Starting the meeting were speakers, Ralph Groener, county commissioner and CCC Board member, and Jan Tomlin, a county clerk, who asked ASG for help to pass out campaign material on senior centers funding to the local community. Groener and Tomlin’urged students to vote ‘yes’ on Senate Bill 955. Groener said, “Local govern ment will coordinate help for senior citizens if the bill is pass ed.” The ASG went on to deny recognition of the Bahai Club. The club’s constitution was tabled for one week because it didn’t list an advisor nor did it acknowledge ASG as proper campus authority. ASG Business Manager Steve Vohs said, “We should not support the Bahai Club because they will not recognize ASG as proper campus authority.” Steven Hall, a member of the Bahai Club said, “ASG’s accusations are totally wrong. We admire the government and will abide by any law you put down.” John Schaffer, Liaison of ficer for the senate suggested the termination of two senators for excessive unexcused absences. Terminated were Kadri Taher and Will Smeback. The ASG is taking petitions un til Thursday’s meeting where they will elect two new senators.
