A.S. Senate actions ruled invalid
Watson: finding 'kind of a shock'
Mark Zahner/Dally Collegian
Legislative Vice President Paul Canales told the AS Sei ate Tuesday
'this whole meeting is illegal* after the group had been told their actions
so far this semesterv*ola._d a state law.
By Tom Bohigian
Staff Writer
The Associated Student Senate found
out Tuesday that all action taken at its
general meetings since the beginning
of the semester are illegal because
the A.S. violated a state law requiring
agendas of upcoming meetings to be
posted one week before the session
'The actions of the senate of the last
few weeks are pot valid,* Dean of
Student Affairs William* Corcoran
said in response to a senator's question
concerning the legality of recent senate
ad ions.
The revelation came as the A.S.
was handling a routine piece of business
near the end of their regular weekly
session.
Senator Norman Charley asked if
Corcoran would rule as to whether
Senators Udoma Julius Obi, Tom
Slocum and Tricia Van Klaveren were
legally selected by the student board
as senators.
The three were chosen amid conter-
versy earlier this semester to fit vacancies created when three senators resigned. Charley and others' strongly objected at that time to the process by
which the new senators were chosen.
A number of senators Tuesday-
reacted to Charley's request with
stunned disbelief. It was at that point
that the larger question regarding
all of the A.S:'s proceedings came
into question.
The state statute casting the shadow
over the A.S. is called the 'State Agency
Open Meeting Ad.* It was amended
in 1980 to require that student organizations, such as the A.S., post agendas
for their general meetings one week
before the meeting.
The A.S. did not try to meet the
requirements of the act last semester
because it was not dear whether the
ad strictly applied to the group, said
A.S. President Jeff Watson.
The misunderstanding was still not
cleared up with the A.S. leadership
this semester even though Corcoran
said he told the senators that the law
did apply to them.
*l distinctly recall bringing it up
at the first meeting of the academic
year,* Corcoran said.
Watson said Wednesday that Tuesday's events were 'kind of a shock
tome.*
During Tuesday's meeting, the
senators appeared as if they were
still not sure if the rule applied to them.
When Charley asked Legislative
Vice President Paul Canales if the three
recently appointed senators were
legally holding office, Canales replied:
This whole meeting is Illegal.*
Senator Andrea Hedgley summed up
the feelings of a number of those present about the confused pattern of
discussion.
'Seems we're just digging a bigger
and bigger hole (discussing this now),
Hedgley said.
The debate then shifted to the question of whether the meeting was actually a meeting at all and whether anything
that was being said was relevant.
'Let's stamp this meeting pretend
valid' and finish the seesion, said
Senator Chris Kaufman.
The meeting was then adjourned,
after the group decided that they couldn't discuss the remainder of the agenda,
induding the Homecoming Issue.
Canales said that the A.S. would
have to go back and reaffirm all of the
actions that had been taken since the
beginning of die semester. He said the
A.S. will do that at next week's meeting,
hesaid.
Members of the A.S. Senate and the
schools they represent are: Helen
Chen, President pro tempore; Canales,
legislative vice president; Wayne Bird,
at-large, post 1; Charley, sodal work;
Michele Davis, at-large, post 4; Diana
Carrido, undeclared majors; Hedgley,
engineering; Kaufman, at-large, "post 3;

City condo
amendment
defeated
By Wayne Agner
Associate Editor
A proposed amendment to the condominium conversion ordinance was
defeated on a 3-4 vote Tuesday by the
Fresno City Council.
The vote was a temporary victory for
CSUF student leaders, who had fought
the amendment since May. 'This is what
we wanted to see,' said Associated
Students President Jeff Watson, though
he admitted that 'the issue by no means
is dead.'
In the amendment, dty staff members
had recommended allowing conversion
of one rental unit for each two new rental
units built in each of the six community
plan areas. Developers had suggested a
ratio of one conversion for each new unit
built.
Watson, though happy with the
outcome, indicated that the implications
of the vote were somewhat deceiving.
Councilman Joe Reich largely felt that
the ordinance was still too restrictive,
and was not necessarily voting against
the measure because of student concern,
said Watson.
Watson also expressed some disappointment with Mayor Dan White-
