cruz vetoes Promise Keeners’

By Gary Wuli
Senior Staff H 'riter

Last week, after a controversial
14-13 vote to fund a tri of UK
Promise Keepers to \l'asfiington,
D.C., Student Government Asso—
ciation President Melanie Cruz
reminded senators that she could
veto the bill.

Late last week, Cruz utilized
her veto power, leaving UK
Promise Keepers to find money to
replace the $1,648 the Senate allo-
cated for its Oct. 4 trip.

Cruz said she vetoed the bill
because it was unconstitutional,

 

citing the by-laws clause that deals
with discrimination. It states that
“events and/or organizations
which discriminate against any

roup of students shall not be
fimded by SGA."

The Promise Keepers’ “Stand
in the Gap" gathering excludes
women from attending the event.

“Although the goals of the
or anization may be commend-
ab e, our constitution cannot
uphold this bill," Cruz said.

She said she expects some neg—
ative feedback because of her deci-
sion.

“My duty as president is not to

alumni remember a time when playing

meant working. See Sports, page 2.

make everyone happy, it is to do
my job,” she said.

If the bill were signed, Cruz
said it would have been detrimen-
tal to SGA.

She said a lot of questions
would be asked about Senate allo-
cation, responsibilities and the
way SGA handles money.

Last week’s veto, which sena—
tors can address tonight at an
emergency full Senate meeting, is
Cruz's second. In April, she
vetoed a $500 bill from the UK
Equestrian Team to pay for trans-
portation to a tournament in Mas-
sachusetts.

The Senate could override the
veto with a two-thirds vote in favor
of the bill, but with last week’s vote
split down the middle that option
may have little promise.

UK Promise Keepers President
Josh \Valton has said the 105 men
expected to 0 would attend the
event regard ess of SGA funding.
He was not available for comment
last night.

Graduate Student Senator
Michael Tomblyn, who voted
against the bill, said Cruz's deci-
sion set an example for the Senate.

“If the Senate would follow her
lead then the students would sit

 

 

up and take notice," he said.

By vetoing the bill, Cruz has
shown fiscal responsibility.
Tomblyn said. He added that if
the Senate can show fiscal respon—
sibility it could move on to other
campus problems.

“\\'e mi ht get Senate to focus
on real quafity—of—life issues. Then
everybody wins," he said.

Senator at Large Luke Riddle,
who supported the bill, said Cruz
made a mistake by vetoing the
bill.

“I felt that the decision rested
on the senate's shoulders," Riddle
said.

Riddle will attend the gather—
ing this weekend with some
friends, but said he hopes the LR
Promise Keepers “ill be able to
attend.

lfthey are not ablc to find the
funds to attend, Riddle said, the
group‘s future impact on campus
will be diminished.

L'K Promise Keepers said at
last \Vednesday's Senate meeting
that they planned to sponsor a
forum on Oct. 8 to share what
they learned in \\'ashiiigton. DC.
as well as work with BiLr Broth-
