Reconstruction
BOB SERRANO
. . . new ASB prexy
Slate Carries Election
Bob Serrano Elected New ASB
Prexy; Marks Takes VP Post
By JEFF WICKLAND
The “Reconstruction” slate that
promises to revamp the govern¬
ment, dominated this semester's
student body elections, taking
every major office except Senate
president. Voters at the same time
approved a new constitution.
Next year’s student body presi¬
dent will be Bob Serrano, who has
among other things, served as
president of the Senate.
His vice-president will be Dave
Marks, who resigned his position
as finance commissioner and AMS
vice-president in disgust over
what he termed "excessive ambi¬
tion and lack of integrity” in the
current gover nment.
Paul Schwartz, who won the
Senate presidency, was the only
successful candidate in the rival
“Action” coalition, headed by Ian
McIntyre and Oscar Rodriguez.
Schwartz has been treasurer of
the Senate and succeeded Marks
as finance commissioner.
The other “Reconstruction” win¬
ners were Fred Mycroft, AMS
president; and Nancy Tobin, AWS
president. Mark Karpiel was the
ticket’s unsuccessful Senate presi¬
dent offering.
Mark Sullivan and Dave Ogden
ran unopposed for Sophomore
Class president and athletics
commissioner respectively.
“Reconstruction” made no ma¬
jor campaign promises, but ran
on a platform of rebuilding the
government into a more balanced
organization.
“Action,” on the other hand,
made several generalized promis¬
es without a central platform,
such as “student control of stu¬
dent government,” and an “equi¬
table student body financial poli¬
cy.”
The new constitution reportedly
involves several modifications in¬
cluding Senate veto power over
Board action and a one-year term
for winners of future student
body elections.
Backers, including several of
the candidates, claim that it will
give more power to the students
by strengthening the Senate and
Supreme Council.
However, it weakens the po¬
tential power of the student body
in one area by doubling the re¬
quired number of signatures on
Board member recall and referen¬
dum petitions, and excluding fi¬
nancial measures from referen¬
dum action.
Prior to the election, the consti¬
tution received some criticism for
its limited exposure to the voters.
Voter turnout was low as usual,
300 turning out on the first day of
the two-day election.
The value of candidate coali¬
tions was apparently borne out,
since neither independent candi¬
date, Mike Tanchek for AMS
president, and Lynn Dimetral for
AWS president, was successful.
Summer Library Hours
All college library materials
will be due by Wednesday, June
17. Students should clear all
overdues, fines, etc., well before
the end of the semester so that
t “holds” will not be placed
against grades and other end-of-
semester records. The College
Library will be open during the
summer sessions as follows:
First Session — 7:30 a.m. to 4
p.m., and 6 to 9 p.m. Second
Session — 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.,
and 6 to 9 p.m.
