GUILFOYLE itaff writer I lie Student Senate passed a '(.'solution stating the current adliinistrative discipline process for .tudent organizations could coninue to operate on a temporary iasis. "Student government is not quipped to handle the discipline student organizations," said >en. Kim Mangum, who inroduced the resolution. Mangum s chairperson for the Senate ludiciary Committee. The reasoning behind the esolution was the administrative noeess had been in use for the >ast semester, and nine Greek organizations had chosen to be lied under the procedure. Mangum was asked why the proposal did not come as a bill, md another senator pointed out hat it' it were presented as a bill, it would be unconstitutional. SG President Kelvin Stroble >?;nH lh;if thic ii/uc > lion, he could only treat it as a recommendation from the senate ind said he was vehemently opposed to the administrative proposal. Slroblc told the senate if they vanted to allow the administraion to continue its discipline, llCV would havp Id ami'iifl flio .odes and then present a bill. 'The resolution accomplishes lothing. except give the general ecling v.f the senate," Stroble .aid. SG Secretary James Belton, vho is also chairman of the StuJent Organization Licensing Commission, was allowed to adIress the Senate. He said that iOI.C, which holds original uriscliction for discipline of stulent organizations cxccpt for the Greeks, had defeated this resoluion in a meeting of the .ommission. "The Department of Student Ml airs has none over the rnrl^ mil we don't know why they've lone it," Helton said. Stroble also pointed out to the .enate that the violations were all fraternity-related. He said that ahile the greeks had no discipline process set up, the process existed lor the other non-greek student organizations. The matter was then put to a k'ote. and l lit* <u?nat<* nmicnH flu> esolution. It states that the atininistrative process an continue intil Jan. 1, 1988, or until SG can .orrect the situation. Student Senators also tried but failed to reconsider last week's resolution on academic standards for ihe athletic department. Sen. Walter Caudle made the motion :o withdraw the resolution. because he thought student senators were not fully aquainted Aith the NCAA's Proposition 48, ;mi which the proposal was based. Sharp admitted that senators had not been provided with copies 01 mc proposal, hut said it had been printed many times in The State newspaper. He also admilted he was unaware r?t whether the I JSC athletic department was already in compliance with the NCAA's standards. Sen. Habbs Henry, chairperson ot the Golden Spur Task l orce, reported that more time was needed lo resolve the issue, and the next Senate would have to continue to work on the issue.
