There was a reception Wednesday night for
the visual artist, Blake Gibson. His exhibit "In

"I want to become a painter," Gibson, a senior,
said. "If I had a choice, I don't know if* I would
do it because it's so unstable, but it's something
I have to do."
This is Blake's first exhibition, and he said
he's enjoying the feedback he is getting from

Senate appeals
veto by Bigham
CR1ST1NA ROJAS Staff Writer
Student Government President Amy Bigham vetoed
Student Government Senate's decision to allow a transition
period between the election and inauguration of Student
Government President, but SG Senate refused that veto
at Wednesday's meeting.
"Based on the codes, the president has six days or 10
calendar days after the passage of a bill to sign for or
against a bill," Senator John Martin said.
Martin, chairman of the Finance Committee, presided
over the meeting because vice president Darcie Shively
was unable to attend.
"Senate passed the bill two weeks ago," Martin said.
"This bill automatically goes into effect because Bigham
said she vetoed the bill today. Six school days passed
yesterday and ten calendar days passed several days ago."
But Bigham wasn't as concerned with the number of
days as with why she vetoed the bill.
"I don't care if it's been two, four, 39 days," Bigham
said. "I have yet to receive a bill from the Senate clerk. I
had to request it. It's not about days. It's about working
out details left out in the bill."
Bigham vetoed the bill because she felt it lacked

'Great Gatsby chosen
for 1996 Freshman
Reading Experience
ROB GKME1U Staff Writer
The Freshman Reading Experience will be The Great
Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, as decided recently by Vice
Provost Donald Greiner and a special advisory committee
on the Freshman Reading Experience.
The University has recently purchased one of the
largest Fitzgerald collections in the U.S. from English
professor Matthew Bruccoli, who is considered one of the
foremost Fitzgerald scholars in the country. Also, the
University will be hosting an international conference
next fall to commemorate what would be Fitzgerald's :
100th birthday.
In light of these two events, Greiner decided that it :
would be proper to feature Fitzgerald during the Freshman
Reading Experience. Greiner then had to decide which of :
Fitzgerald's four novel's should be read. Greiner originally
suggested the novel Tender is the Night, but after reading 1
it, the committee decided that it was too long and difficult 1
for the 90 minute seminars that compose the Freshman
Reading Experience. Greiner also considered Fitzgerald's
first novel, This Side of Paradise, which is about Fitzgerald's '
experiences as a student at Princeton, but he decided it
was not appropriate. |
Then Greiner suggested Gatsby and the committee
agreed.
"Gatsby is one of the world's major novels about America. ,
And at the end of the century, whafs a better time to read
about the disillusionment of the 1920s," said Greiner.
"It is the quintessential American novel," said committee
member Becky Lewis.
Bruccoli said that the committee picked the novel
