said Scott Stark, a
Unity-SRG member present at the meet¬
ing.
Avedisian said that the changes were
discussed and approved in committee, and
a copy of the recommendations had been
in the senators' mailboxes for a "couple
of days."
Prior to the vote, Frank Aviles, senator
at large, post 5, voiced concern that more
time should be al lowed for the changes to
be reviewed but no effort was made to
po a pone or delay the action.
In a voice vote, the recommendations
of the committee were approved as re¬
quested with no dissenting votes cast.
After.the vote, Senate Pro Temp Sean
Ford asked that the secretary's minutes re¬
flect the votes for approval in committee
and in the senate were both unani-mous.
According to Senator of Social Sci¬
ences Bill Lerch, a member of the legal
and legislative committee, he was not
present at the meeting when the changes
were discussed and only received the list
Monday afternoon.
"This is corrupt politics," said Lerch.
"How can you have a discussion when
you haven't even had a chance to read it?
This is just another action to take
'power away from the students," Lerch
said after reviewing the changes.
Other changes limiting powers
The powers of the legislative vice president, the second ranking
executive officer, have been changed to include:
■Will still appoint members of the senate to standing ASI committees, except
for the finance and budget committee.
■All senatorial appointments to committees must now be approved by the
senate.
•Deletion of certain administrative and oversight duties of the office.
Administrative vice president  ■
The administrative vice president, the executive officer charged
With producing the ASI budget and overseeing fiscal matters,
will see a substantial increase in powers, including:
■Will now appoint the four senate members to the finance and budget
committee, which he chairs.
•Those appointmenis are the only ones not subject to approval of the senate.
■Will interview and hire all ASI student assistants, and assign and supervise
their work.
•Will be charged with finding and enforcing fiscal policy violations, activities
previously shared with the president and legislative vice president
According to Avedisian, the power to
remove senators currently exists in the
bylaws, and it was felt that power should
be extended to executive officers as well.
Removal of the right of the president
to alter an approved budget will prevent
actions, like some in the past, in which
outgoing presidents have retaliated against
measures they opposed with a veto or
change, Avedisian said.
Other changes will give Anderson
virtually complete control over all Fiscal
matters by removing many of the
existing checks and balances present under

The abolishment of the student court,
deemed "useless" by Avedisian, would not
appear to have much impact on day-to-day
operations of the ASI.
The court, the final authority on inter¬
pretation of ASI bylaws, has not heard a
case in more than two years, and only
three cases within the last six years,
according to Avedisian. Two of those de¬
cisions were ovenurned, and the other one
"ignored," said the senate pariimentarian.
"The senate can lake care of everything
within itself," Avedisian said.
