Seven senolors feel wroth of Erecutive BoordThe Senate's biggest problem

Tuesday was not the apathy ofthe ASB or the non-cooperationof the administration, but theapathy and non;cooperation of itsown members.

Seven senators were accusedby the Executive Board of notmeeting the needs of thestudents or the Senate.

Roddy Earl (Chai¡m¿n of thepolicy Committee), lony Crump,Rocco Petrosino, Joel Cotten,Manuel Ramos and Julie Benitezwere all placed on censure by theBoard for not actively serving ona committee.

Executive Vice PresidentMark Hernandez stated, "This isyour first and last warning. Nexttime, we will remove you fromthe Senate."

However, Senators Kim Fin-ney, Sloan Dawson and MerrittDickson rebutted the board,saying it is difficult to schedule a

committee. meeting for sixmembers and have them allattend, especially when youserve on two committees.

Dickson also added that theboard members should also beheld liable for their time andeffort. "It should be a two.wavstreet," he said.

Ramos, who remained silentduring the meeting, later said,"Work was the No. 1 reasonseveral Senate members areunable to attend certain commit-tee meetings."

However, most of the tensionwas centered around SenatorStephan Rico. He was asked toresign for refusing to serve on acommittee, as specified underthe constitution.

Rico, his eyes glazed, stoodbefore the board and said with acrack in his voice, "I will notresigr."

Some senate members feel

Rico's removal bid had little to dowith his action as a senator, butrather that it stems from apersonal incident involving Leg-islative Vice President KenMitchell.

Reportedly, Rico and a friendshowed up at ASB PresidentDave Schroeder's house for aninformal Senate meeting. As thetwo were leaving, Mitchell askedRico to step outside to discussRico's responsibilities as aSenator. Once outside the house.

_ A_ special Senate meeting willbe held today (Thursday)-at Ip.m. in the Senate Chambers todecide whether Rico should beremoved fgr conduct unbecominga Senator and refusing to serveon a committee.

Senators Juan Morales and

Nick Rosas submitted theirletters of resignation, effectiveimmediately. Both Morales andRosas cited personal and econom-ic reasons for leaving.

Schroeder said põtitions forthe spring Senate election arenow available at A-104. Deadlinefor announcing candidacy isTuesday,dec. 21.

Due to Mor¿les' and Rosas'resignations and the number ofsenators who were elected in aspecial election, Schroeder wasunable to give the exact numberof seats that will be open.

Meanwhile, the Senate allo-cated 91,000 for on-campuspublicity through the use- ofbulletin boards and a directoryboard.

The cork bulletin boards willbe placed primarily in theBookstore area, while the di-rectory will be located next toSC-205, and will contain ùhe

names, hours and phone numbersof the ASB officers.

Commissioner of PublicitvRick Yamamoto was granteäextra letters needed in runningthe linostrap machine used foinraking posters. The Senateallocated $575 for the metallicletters, which included $49 forshipping.

A man named Chuck took us,after a wait, to a backstagedressing room, where threewomen dressed in casual clothinggreeted us like old friends.

Debra Byrd, Monica Burruss,and Reparata of "Lady Flash"discussed their experiencesworking with Manilow and howthey got started.

"How do we get along withBarry?. .Well, we've knownBarry for trvo years. It'swonderful. It's like working withyour best friend," commentedDebra.

collllllgllt...Itlerrï Christmos(non-commerial)

By Mork'Herne¡dez

\ühen man first noted that he wás alive, he proceeded todevelop a means by which he and other individuals could switchor trade items. This was called bartering, which later becamemonetary exchange.

Then the birth of Christ happened, and people called this are-birth of religion.

Then Christmas came about, and it was called X-mas, andwas worshipped by the religious.

The commercialism of Christmas came about in the simplestfashion possible: Some'one wanted to make a buck and saw afantastic opportunity. As a consequence, we've been forced tolive through the commercials, sales pitches, ,tinsel,decbrations...and all this since before Thanksgiving. Thesocalled "festive spirit" of Christmas has been consume-d by theoverbearing "investive spirit". . . which leads us to foigettingthe true meaning of Christmas.

There once was a time when people could be asked whatChristmas meant-to them, and the response would almostalways be "a time when man counts his blessingst' or "a time ofpeäce and joy." That seems fair enough, but with ìhe advent ofeommercialibm, this attitude has been like "a time for man tocount his presents" or "a time of receiving."

All of this leads to our forgetting the facts of Christmas: Atime to celebrate joy and blessing of the birth of Christ. Evenatheists have stated that Christmas is a time when a sort ofpeace falls qn us in general, belíevers or not.

I hope that this Chriptmas will fall out of the commercialism,and that both you and I can honor this occasion in the fittingmanner - remembering the good of the past with no interest inreceiving gifts, and a hope for the future...a future ofhappiness and peace.

It is about all we can do, if we wish to leave it at that. But Ihope for d¡r own sake, as well as the genprations of tomorrow,that the commercialism of Christmas can be removed andsevered from the true meaning of Christmas.

Merry Christma's to all, and a Happy New Year!
