w ASG requisites stiffened By Amy LaBare Of The Print Students will be voting on constitutional revisions along with student body president and vice president on April 25 and 26. An Associated Student Government (ASG) committee has proposed some revisions in the current constitution to make it more concise, Debbie Cayton, committee chairper son said. The proposed grade re quirements change for ASG officers, which currently is a term GPA of 2.0 would be raised to 2.5. Senators must maintain a 2.0 GPA. Officers will also be re quired to carry a minimum of eight credit hours a term, up from the current six. ASG also wants to add a section to the constitution that will provide a way to replace ASG members who must vacate their office before their term ends. This addition would allow the assistant to the president, an appointed position, to fill the seat of president if the president and vice president positions are both vacant. Other vacancies would be filled through a selection process. Revisions of the by-laws, which do not require student body approval, but will not go into effect unless the constitu tional changes are developed, will provide a way to form the selection committee for ASG vacancies. A nominations board made up of the ASG ad visor, the ASG president, one senator from the open position and two students-at-large from the college will nominate students for the open position. The two students-at-large will be selected by a faculty member. The nominations of the board will be voted on by ASG members. The by-law revision also in cludes a repeals process for ASG members who fail to meet the requirements stated in the constitution. The pro posed revision states “If an official fails to meet the re quirement, he/she will need to complete the requirements the next term plus make up those credits not completed the term before.” In order to appeal, an ASG member must have completed at least three credit hours. An official who wishes to appeal must submit a written appeal within three days after beginning of the next term to one of the ASG advisors. An appeals board, which in cludes an ASG ad^js.Qr, two ASG senators, one ASG of ficer and one counselor, will review the appeal. The official filing the appeal must also ap- SHAKESPEARE NEVER KNEW PILOT PEN He wrote beautifully without our Razor Point marker pen and Precise Rolling Ball... but imagine what he might hove written with them. pear before the board. Currently there is no ap- peals procedure in the by-laws. The by-laws do provide for a three-week period of leniency under extreme circumstances. The last addition to the by laws includes a statement that no employee of Clackamas Community College shall be allowed to run for or hold any student body office. The revision committee was formed when ASG members were left with no guidelines for selecting new officers after the resignation of former ASG president Jenny Metzker last January. When Metzker resigned Shawneee Christensen moved up from her vice presidential post to head ASG, and in do ing so left the vice president position open. When ASG members went to consult the constitution on filling the va cant seat, they found no help, Cayton said. Cayton said she hopes these revisions will make it easier on future ASG cabinets to replace members who may leave. Cayton also added the com mittee is still working on other changes in the by-laws dealing with clubs. She said these changes will be enacted before May. Voting will take place at the Student Activities Office when new officers are elected.
