1963_02 The Daily Collegian February 1963

              Let The Court Decide
The Collegian went on record in January as being opposed
U, the methods followed in filling a student body association
office vacancy.
" president Jerry Tahajian appointed Rod Coburn to fill the
office of vice president and appointed Larry Layne, the out
pins' vice President to the oKice of Men's Commissioner.
The problem arose when Bill Edholm. the vice president-
eject, withdrew from college and thus left an opening. He
(ud not, however, been sworn in and therefore not officially
in office- Hence, the student president was not within the
huonds of his office by appointing someone to fill the gap.
In a January 14 editorial The Collegian stated that it was
within the jurisdiction of the Student Court to decide the
issue. The Student Court has not taken action, apparently
tgeaase no one made a formal referral to it.
The Board of Directors, charged with enforcing the Bylaws
lus not investigated the matter nor made a referral to the
Court
The Collegian therefore has written a formal letter to the
Student Court and urged it to act as soon as possible on the
matter. ■   •
The Collegian is not opposed to the two men who have been
appointed by President Tahajian. The Collegian believes the
president acted in good faith in appointing Coburn and
Uyne.
The Collegian does believe Tahajian mis-interpreted the
Bylaws, acted contrary to those rules and consequently now
his two officers in the association who are not the choices
of the student electorate.
Beyond this point there is another seemingly unirtiportant
consideration.
This point was succinctly stated by Herm Howerton who
•rote a letter to the editor and stated his opinion concerning
the debacle. He said, "If our Bylaws are this easily gotten
around, what does the ordinary student have to say about
his student government Nothing?"
Also he said the action is "a dangerous step in the direction
of leaving the complete responsibility of student government
in the hands of those in power."
This is important! If the officers in charge—elected or
appointed—can interpret the Bylaws to satisfy their own
desires, then the Bylaws are rendered ineffective.
Even the Student Council which approved President Taha-
jian's recommendation was in fault. That body after some
deliberation voted approval, although not unanimously.
Again, The Collegian strongly urges the Student Court to
review the appointments, read and study the Bylaws of the
Association and then make its decision.
As the final authority on interpretation, the student body
ud the student body officers would be compelled to follow
their ruling.

Appeals Overrun Board Meeting
The Board Of Fine Arts heard
appeals from the drama depart¬
ment, the art department, the
music department and Orchesls,
a modern dance club, at Its first
meeting of the semester.
Seating Problem
John Wright, head of the
drama department, told the board
members that 12 per cent of stu¬
dents who take out tickets for
play performances do not use the
tickets. This leaves empty seats
when tho box office ticket count
actually shows a full house.
Wright said this In turn causes
a low morale for the cast when
they see empty seats.
He proposed charging the stu¬
dents 25 cents for every ticket
secured In advance as an assur¬
ance tlie ticket would be used.
However, the board members felt
this move would be against the
policy of not charging students
admission for functions sponsored
by the association budget.
Council   Project
Tho board members decided
that since the students arc direct¬
ly involved in
the matter that it
Id be belter to have tho prob¬
lem brought before the student
council. Student Body President
Jerry Tahajlan. a voting board
member, agreed lo bring the mat¬
ter before tho council at Ihe Wed¬
nesday meeting.

peal from the art department re¬
questing the board to purchase a
film depicting an art exhibit by
a former Fresno Stale student,
the reason being that buying film
did not enter into the original
functions of the board of fine arts.
i       Band Buys Rome
The board turned down a re¬
quest from Arthur '. P. Barnes,
band director, for approval ot a
trip to Reno, Nev.. by members
of the studio band. The 10 mem¬
bers of the band wanted to at¬
tend the second annual Studio
Band Clinic Feb. 23rd.
It was felt by the board that
the touring budget was Intended
for the marching band to be used
to travel to local high schools to
give performances and not lo
travel to out of state workshops.
All band~ tnurs must be approved
by the board.
The group did approve the con¬
cert band tours to Modesto and
tho local high schools.
