AS question not
■
■
by Wayne Welch
The legal controversy over the
validity of two student government
executives holding office appears to be
resting In the lap of a non-existent
Student Court.
William Knight, a lawyer for. the
California State University and Colleges Chancellor's Office, said Tuesday
the legal entanglement is a constitutional question that should be decided
by the Student Court, not the Chancellor's Office.
However, the court currently cannot
function because there are not enough
justices.
The controversy surrounds the positions of Legislative Vice-President
•ind College Union Vice-President, held
by Susan Good and David Nlkssarian,
respectively.
•Issues of this type that are based on
. constitution should be handled by the
Student Court ... not the Chancellor's
Office," Knight said during a meeting
of student* government leaders and
David pell; dean of student affairs.
It shouldn't be the role of the at- .
torney' oV the Chancellor's Office to (stuffing the court) and I think that wJS
step In before the Student Court has a be quite apparent In the people I noml-
crack at It,* he said.
Good and Nlkssarian were appointed
with Good and Nlkssarian In last year's,
elections; denies he will try to "stuff"
the court with persons sympathetic to
Good and Nlkssarian.
"I    have   no Intention of doing  so
to their posts by last year's student
body President Steven Moe, but confirmed by this year's Senate. David
Davenport, a student Senator who recently resigned from his position, has
charged the appointments and confirmation are invalid.
At least three and perhaps four of
the five positions on the court remain
to be filled. Appointments are made by
student body President David Price HI,
subject to confirmation by the Senate.
Price,  who led  the political ticket
■
nate," Price said.
Price was hesitant to say when his
nominees will be sent to the Senate for
approval, but said he hoped tt would
be In about a week.
The new student body constitution,
which the Senate began operating under
In June, does not specify when the
appointments must be sent to the legislative body.
-
The vagueness of the constitution In
other  areas  as well appears to be a
significant contributor to the current
student government problems. Knight
■ said   the   process   of   going' through
Student Court should help clarify the
constitution.    *''*]}'•
Knight said he felt there are "appropriate grounds for a decision etther
way" froqi the court.
However, Bell was quoted In the
Sept, 26 edition; of the Collegian aa
saying he would overturn toe decision
If the court decides to oust (food and
Nlkssarian unless the decision is based
on arguments which have not-already
been made.
Bell was unavailable for further
comment Tuesday afternoon.
Knight said alternatives to presenting the problem to the court would
be to go through a constitutional amendment or a recall election.   ■
However, an amendment probably
would not affect Good or Nlkssarian as
it would not be retroactive.
Petitions for a recall election are
now being circulated.

Dr. John, the Baptist, slums
by Bill Fosaat
•What'll It be?" says the bartender.
•Draft," says the student.
A teacher walks In, sees the
place Is crowded — no tables —
^oes to the bar. There Is one
empty stool, next to astudent.He
sits In it.
•What'll It be?" the bartender
says tc the teacher.
•Campari and sweet vermouth,
please, with a twist."
The student looks at the teacher, returns to, his beer. The
bartender sets the Campart and
vermouth In front ofthe teacher.
The student downs his beer, looks
again at the teacher, then orders
another beer.
Fifteen minutes later the student turns and says: "You a
teacher?"
Teacher: Right. What gives me
away? The drink?
Student: I guess. That, and that
book in your pocket, and the
tennis shoes.
Teacher (looking down at his
shoes): My tennis shoes? These
are Converse All-Stars. I Just
.. .. *
got them.
Student: I can see, man. High-
tops are out though.
Teacher: Out? They're brand
newl What about the book - ls
Marx out too?
Student: I wouldn't be surprised
If he was, man.,
Teacher: (bemused): Well, I
suppose that's good to know.
Student: You In Philosophy or
English? \^
Student: I go to school.
Teacher: I gathered that. What
do you study?
Student: Teachers, mostly.
Teacher (grimly): Well, here's
to the Ivy.
Student: Here's to it.
A pause develops. The teacher
ts perplexed/ the student bored.
The teacher shakes his head,
laughs to himself.
Student: Pardon?
Teacher: I dtdn't say anything.
I was Just thinking that the atmosphere in the new teachers' bar
will probably be more conducive
to high tops and Marx than this
place is—or high tops and Toyn-
bee.
Student: I think you've got
Teacher: (absently): Business, ^something there.rildrinktothat.
Student: Business, huh? Hmm. Here's to the new teachers' bar
Teacher: And you? and the ivy and higher learning
and higher tops, aji-iywhat's-hts-
name—Tonybee.
Teacher: I detect a note of derision in your voice, young man.
You sound as if you'd Just as soon
piss on it as drink to it.
Student (laughs): Too late now,
man—I already drank to it. After
they get the bar In I'll go piss on
It. I'll organize a piss-tn.
Teacher: This, is getting interesting. Tell me — I can see you
have nothing against drinking —
what ls it you have against the
teachers' bar?
Student: Nothing. I just don't
see what you need one for.
There's plenty of bars in town.
What's wrong with this place?
Teacher: What's wrong with It?
Well, aside from tbe fact that
It's five miles from my office
