.SUIT Rrporter
Notice has been given to AssoclatedStudentBody
President David Price that the associated students
are defendants ln a suit claiming that two student
government offices are 'constitutionally vacant.*
The notice was served by the suit's plaintiff,
David Stein, after the Student Court decided unanimously Tuesday to hear his complaint.
The complaint charges that Susan Good, legislative vice-president, and David Nlkssarlan, College Onion vice-president, are not legally ln office.
A hearing date has been set for next Thursday
at S p.m. The location will be announced later.
The vice-presidential positions of Good and
Nlkssarlan have been challenged since early last
- semester when former Senator David Davenport
introduced a similar complaint. His complaint was
withdrawn, however, before he left CSUF for a
Job ln Washington. Stein, Davenport's roommate .
last semester, reintroduced the complaint Jan. 30.
The complaint states, "The offices of Legislative
Vice-President and College Union Vice-President
are constitutionally vacant and should be declared
so by the Student Court.*
Stein named the "Associated Students of CSUF"
as defendants ln the suit. Price received the notification because he is AS President.
Less than 25, minutes were spent by the court
ln deciding to hear the complaint. All four Justices
were present. No representatives of Good or Nlkssarlan were present.
COMPLAINT WITHDRAWN
For the court to hear the petition, two questions
had to be answered affirmatively. The Justices
agreed that the plaintiff is a party to an action
ln which he Is "adversely affected" and that there
Is an actual controversy.
"Being It's the same complaint (as Davenport's)
and we heard It before ... we might as well make
a motion to hear it and set a date,* Justice Ty
Knotts said.
Stein's petition hinges on the resignation last
June of Gene Gibson from the office of legislative
vice-president which he was to Oil beginning July
1.   Good   was named by outgoing AS President
Steve Moe to Oil that position. Moe also appointed
Nlkssarlan CoUege Union vice-president, the position Good had been elected to ln tha spring.

TWO QUESTIONS/
Dates are Important in Steln'ej.icornplalnt.Gibson
resigned on June 27 and the complaint argues the
office did not become vacant until July 11.
Stein cites a section of the CSUF Association
Bylaws In his argument.
■Resignation from any elective or appointive
office of the association, unless otherwise provided
for ln these bylaws, shall be submitted ln writing
to the senate two weeks prior to the effective date
of such a resignation,* the bylaws state.
Allowing two weeks, the office did not become
vacant until July 11.
Stein then refers to a clause in the AS Constitution to support his case: "In the event of a
vacancy ln the office of Vice President, the President shall appoint, with the consent of the Student
Senate, a Student Senator to fill the vacancy.*
Stein maintains that neither Good nor Nlkssarlan

A memorandum from Chief Justice Sandra Hernandez on behalf of Ihe court is also Involved ln .
Stein's complaint. The memorandum, concerning
the dismissal ot Justice Antoinette Tull from the
court, said "that all committees and appointments
ceased to exist July 1, 1975 when the new Associated Students .came into effect.*
Stein maintains: "In that tho Student Senate tttd
not act to confirm these appointments by Mr. Moe
prior to July l, 1975, they ceased to exist on July
1, 1975.*
