mining
issue
To the Editor:
The reserve mining issue has
gone on long enough. Eight years
of suffering, frustration, anxiety
and uncertainty is more than
enough for the people of Silver
Bay, Minn, to have to endure.
With a decision from the State
Supreme court due soon, this issue
will hopefully be resolved, one way
or the other. We would know where
we stand-with jobs or jobless.
It would not be over though, if
Rep. Munger's House Bill number
401 begins moving through the
Minnesota legislature, it would
block the use of Mile-Past-Seven
(disposable land area).
Perhaps it is time for our friends
in other states, concerned about
Lake Superior, to write Gov.
Perpich and the Minnesota
legislature and say "Enough is
enough. Let's get this issue settled
once and for all." It is my belief
and hope that the peoples of all
states should act according to the
desires of the citizens and not
according to the desires of the
bureaucrats.
The people of Silver Bay are not
the fire-breathing monsters
depicted. We are not bent on
destroying all we touch. We are
families?men wnmpn
children. We are asking only for
one thing-to live and be treated as
human beings once again.
Mrs. Karen Downey
Silver Bay, Minn.

The SG constitution states that the
senate "shall in the event of an impeachment
proceeding determine the
:ime in guilt or innocence of the accused." A
tory, a quorum of 75 per cent of the senate
chment must be present for the proceeding and
ssented if the accused is found guilty, it must be
by a two-thirds majority vote.
las less This week, the senate faces the most
is term important decision of the year. As a
>r Ron legislative body, it must decide
;he im- whether Wilsford is guilty or not. And
senate, the SG constitution specifically states
ilsford that "there shall be no appeal of an

In the administrations of student
government presidents Rita McKinney
(1973-1974) and Steve Hill (1975-1976)
reasons for impeachment ranged from
proposing useless bills to the incompetency
of cabinet members.
However, all proposals remained just
talk and were never officially
presented. Robert Alexander, student
services dean, said that no USC student
government president has ever been
impeached.
In a letter to The Gamecock last
week, Wilsford responded to Birnbaum's
accusations by saying that
"despite rumor to the contrary, every

penny of student government money
was expended strictly in accordance to
existing guidelines and rulings."
The senate must now consider who is
right or wrong concerning this issue. If
Wilsford is wrong, he must accept the
face that he did something wrong. If
the senate handles the impeachment
resolutioo in a haphazard fashion, it's
already low credibility level will
decrease even more in the eyes of the
student body.
With the wheels of possible impeachment
already in motion student
senators must now act like legislators,
not pretend. The situation is serious
ana cans for careful consideration.
