ASI senate refuses 8 nominees
IMonreaFs choice for
AVP also rejected by
conservative Reality
controlled senate
By Hadi YazdanPanah
The Daily Collegian
In an overwhelming display of partisan¬
ship senators from the Associated Students,
Inc. rejected or postponed all eight of ASI
president Tommy Monreal's nominations for
ASI vacant posts.
Three of Monreal's candidates were in¬
terviewed and rejected outright.
The remaining five nominees for confir¬
mation were postponed until next week's ASI
senate meeting.
Monreal's nominee for Administrative
Vice President. David Stanley, was one of the
three nominees rejected by the ASI senate.
After being rejected Stanley said he was
not surprised and will not reapply for the
position.
"They [Reality] have an overwhelming
majority," said Stanley. "They rejected {me]
the first time, they can do it again."
One rejected nominee for ASl senate
voiced her concern over the partisanship dis¬
played by the ASI senate.
There seems to be a lot of red tape around
here. I don't know how you get anything done
around here," said an angry Ofelia Salgado,
one of Monreal's rejected senate nominees.
After rejecting Monreal's nominees
Tammy Martinez, ASI senator and former
Legislative Vice President, made a motion
to recess the senate meeting and hold an ASI
senate personnel committee meeting.
Martinez based her motion on ASI bylaws
that state that after two weeks of school have
passed personnel committee meetings could
be held to make personnel decisions.
"The reason we said it was no longer in
the presidents power to appoint is because
of the disagreement between school weeks,"
Martinez said.
Martinez said if ASI executives had a

The ASI switched between the board
meeting and personnel committee meeting
three times.
During the personnel meetings Sean
Prewer. Pamila Davis and Brent Enoch were
appointed as senators hy the Reality domi¬
nated senate..
"You morph into the personnel commitr
tee and morph back out.'.' said Monreal as he
sat back an watched the carnage. "It's obvi¬
ous that they [Reality Senators] took care of
their business." ^ \
After the ASI meeting an angry Monreal
seemed resigned about the rejection of his
choices to fill the vacant ASI posts.
"In effect all the work I had done for the
student body was washed down the toilet
right now. We didn't get too much done,"
Monreal said. "There are still vacancies. The
AVP didn't get appointed and they never
stated a reason why. They [his nominees]
were qualified.'^
The next ASI meeting will be on Thurs¬
day, Sept. 12. 1996 in room 312-314 of the
University Students Union.
Men's soccer keeps Santa Barbara winless
By Luis Hernandez
The Daily Collegian
Good things happen to those who
wait. And nobody knows that better than
the Fresno State Bulldog's soccer men's
team.
The Bulldogs defeated the Santa Bar¬
bara Gauchos 2-0 at Bulldog Stadium last
night in front of 1.262 fans.
The Gauchos defense frustrated
Fresno State's attack, but the Gauchos
couldn't hold the Bulldog's offense off the
scoreboard the whole game. \
Fresno improves to 2-0 for the season.
Santa Barbara dropped to 0-1 -1
Santa Barbara's defense managed to keep
the Bulldogs off the scoreboard for 58 min¬
utes, until Senior Forward Mike Matson
lofted the ball over the outstretched hand of
substitute goalkeeper Trenton Ulicny.
Fresno State had controlled the pace and
field position up to that point. "We knew a
goal was coming," Matson said. He added
that Fresno State just needed to keep attack¬
ing, and that Santa Barbara was going to
break and die after the goal.
The Bulldogs did just that and were re¬
warded with a second goal at the 77th minute.
Junior Forward Steve Patterson took the ball
at the mulfield line and dashed 30 yards, beat¬
ing two defenders and, just inside the 18-
yards box. blasted a line drive shot that keeper
Ulicny never had a chance to save.
"I shot it before* he (the goalkeeper) came
out," Patterson said. "I had to hit hard. I was
just trying to get a goal for us "
Fresno(State used sharp, quick touch
and go passes to find its way' into Santa
Barbara's goal
Fresno State's dominance also
showed in the stat sheet. Fresno State
had 20 shots on goal to the Gauchos'
10! The bulldogs forced six corner kicks
to Santa Barbara's two.
