Few memos sent by Brown to Senate

Keeping the deal? President said he was
discouraged that the memos weren't being read

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

and Jill Gorin
SGA WRITER

Although the Student Gov-
ernment Association voted at
the end of last semester to re-
quire President Nate Brown to
send weekly memos to the Sen—
ate. he has sent only four or five

 

 

this semester.

"I felt like people weren‘t
reading them." Brown said.
“They would ask me questions
about stuff that they should‘ve
known about if they read it."

He said he became discour-
aged when he found senators
weren't reading them.

"It was not decided that he
should stop.“ said Vincent Fields.

College of Agriculture senator.
“At least. not by the Senate."

He said he thinks although
many senators probably don‘t
read the memos, many do. even
though some said they were not
sufficient.

“When we did get them.“ said
Keisha Carter. senator at large.
"we never got them 011 time."

Brown was required to write
weekly memos and send them to
every senator. after be nominated
Matt Anderson to an appoint-
ment on the Elections Board. An-
derson had said he didn‘t want

the nomination.

After receiving a letter from
Anderson stating his wishes. an
investigation was held. and
Brown was required to make sen-
ators aware of his activities.

Resulting legislation has in-
creased the checks and balances
ofSGA s executive and legislative
branches. Camel said.

Now. all executive appoint»
ments must go through a commit
tee before being presented to the
Senate.

Also. a Senate chairperson
will replace the vice president to

preside over Senate meetings.

Finally. the president is re
quired to send memos of every ex
ecutive meeting to the Senate.

But Carter also cites a flaw in
the legislation. "There was noth-
ing in the legislation passed that
said what we could do to him if he
didn‘t write the memos.“ she said.

That makes Brown‘s lack of
cooperation small business for a
new government.

"It‘s the end of his term. we‘ve
got a new president. and we're
concerned with other things."
Carter said.

By Tom Callahan
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

 

The Free Speech Area
was occupied by about 40
students yesterday yelling.
“Get Off The Crack —— La-
bor Shops Are Wack."

The rally was held to
promote awareness of
sweatshop labor and to
push UK to sign a new con-
tract with the Collegiate Li-
censing Company.

   

“UK contracts with
Collegiate Licensing Com-
pany. and they don't have
an adequate code of con-
duct f01 labor standards."

said Robert Gillian. a soci-
ology sophomore.

“We have a responsi-
bility toward are fellow hu-
man beings to see that they
are living under decent
conditions," said Luke
Boyett. spokesman for the

UK Coalition Against
Sweatshop Labor. “I think
the administration has the
same sentiments and is
open to work with us on
this issue.“

The UK apparel worn
by student-athletes and
sold in campus bookstores
is often produced under
sweatshop conditions.
Boyett said.

“The difference be-
tween slave labor and
sweatshop labor is $2." he
said.

Texas —— A former Texas A&M
student is one of three Ameri-
can soldiers who was captured
last Wednesday near the Yu-
goslavia-Macedonia border and
is being held by Serbian forces.

US. Army Spec. Steven
Gonzales was a mechanical en-
gineering major and lived in
Lechner Hall when he attend-
ed A&M in the 1995-1996
school year on an academic
scholarship.

Gonzales graduated in the
top 10 percent of his class from
Palestine High School in 1995,
where he lettered in soccer and
track.

Gonzales' parents work for
the Texas Department of Crimi-
nal Justice in Huntsville. The
family, which includes Steven‘s
8— and 14-year-old brothers,
moved to Huntsville in 1995.

Glen Castlebury, a
spokesman with the criminal
justice department. said Gonza-
les planned to come back to
A&M after serving his two-year
re-enlistment.

“Steven went to A&M for a
year and then entered the
Army in September of 1996," he

Gonzales‘ parents. Gilbert
and Rosie Gonzales, spoke at a
news conference in Huntsville
last Thursday.

“Steven and the other sol-
diers don’t deserve this." his
mother said. “They're young
men with their whole lives
ahead of them. They were put
in a bad Situation, and we just
pray for their safe return. all
of them."

The three soldiers. cavalry
scouts for the US. Army, were
sent to Macedonia on a United
Nations peacekeeping mission.

Milan Bozic, Yugoslav fed-
eral government minister and
deputy mayor of Belgrade. said
Sunday on ABC‘s “This Week“
and CNN’s “Late Edition“ that
the soldiers would not face trial.

“The army is under the
control of the (Yugoslav) federal
government, so we will treat
them along the lines of any con~
ceivable international agree-
ments — first of all. the Geneva
Convention,” Bozic said. “They
will receive the best treatment.
They will be held (in Yu-
goslavia), and we strongly be-

But, Jovanic said on “Fox
News Sunday" that the soldiers
might stand trial.

“Whether they are going to
be brought to justice before the
military court. it will depend on
the result of the investigations
that are now under way," Jo-
vanic said. “Those investiga-
tions are routine whenever you
capture infiltrated enemy sol-
diers in your territory."

Texas A&M President Ray
Bowen responded to Gonzales'
capture in a news release.

“We are saddened by the
news that three United States
Army members of the NATO
peacekeeping force in Macedo-
nia have been taken prisoner
by Serbian forces," Bowen said.
“and it is even more distressing
to learn that one of the young
men, Steven Gonzales. attended
Texas A&M University."

In a statement last week.
President Clinton said he would
hold Yugoslav President Slobo-
dan Milosevic responsible for
the soldiers‘ safety.

“We will hold him and his
government responsible for
their well-being." Clinton said.

EAST LANSING, Mich. w The first person
charged with a felony in connection with the
March 27-28 Michigan State U. riot was arraigned
in court Monday along with three others charged
with misdemeanors.

Landscape nursing freshman Mark Barry was
arrested Friday at his Muskegon, Mich., home
and charged at district court with a felony count of
inciting a riot. The charge carries a maximum
penalty of 10 years and a $10,000 fine. His pretrial
is set for April 14 at 1 pm. in district court.

Barry, 19, must report weekly to a probation
officer until his trial is finished.

Police do not consider Barry a student be-
cause he is a member of the university’s agricul-
tural-tech program, which finished its semester
about two weeks ago.

East Lansing police Capt. Louis Muhn said
they issued a warrant for a 20-year-old West
Bloomfield, Mich., man for unarmed robbery and
malicious destruction of property exceeding
$10,000. Police arrested him during the weekend,
but the man posted bail and has 10 days to appear
for arraignment.

The felony unarmed robbery charge carries
a maximum penalty of 15 years. The malicious
destruction of property has a maximum of five

and destroyed at the riot.

Undeclared freshman Stephanie Kent, from
Grand Rapids, Mich., pleaded guilty to a misde-

exposure. The maximum penalty is 90 days and a
$500 fine.

“I don't think I should have gotten what I
did," said Kent, who was ticketed after flashing a
crowd at Grand River Avenue and Abbott Road.
“I was just having fun."

Kent said the city is trying to make an ex-
ample out of those arrested for involvement in
the riot.

“They said under any other circumstances, it
wouldn't have been that big a deal," she said af-
ter her arraignment.

Muhn said police received more than 220 tips
that the task force is investigating, and the police
tip website has had more than 28,000 hits since it
began last week. He also said about six people
turned themselves in during the weekend.

“The website being used is creative and help-
ful, and one of the few I've seen used this way
countrywide," Muhn said.

Muhn said police officials are hoping to put
the incident behind them.

I don’t have to worry about cleaning. It’s safe, it’s close to campus and I
don’t have to worry about parking.” .

- Andrea McCool, biology senior, on why she likes to live in the residence halls

Cost counts when deciding to move out

Dollars, dollars, dollars: Price of the apartment,
amenities that come with it are key in students' search

By Amy Ernst

SIAIIF whore

When it comes to living arrange-
ments for students. cost is a huge
factor.

Many students have never used a
washing machine before coming to col-
lege. so it's no surprise that many have
never dealt with paying bills either.

UK undergraduate housing is easy
for those who find managing money
difficult. Everything but long-distance
telephone service and cable is lumped
together in one sum paid at the begin-
ning of every semester.

Students who live in residence
halls don't even have to worry about
grocery shopping. Every resident must
open a Diner Account for at least $675
a semester. This money does not carry
on from semester to semester. Includ-
ing the Diner Account. residence halls
cost about $440 a month.

Biology senior Andrea McCool has
lived in residence halls all of her four
years at UK. She lived in Boyd Hall for
one year and Patterson Hall for three
years. The only thing she does not like
about the residence halls is the Diner
Account. She sees it as cost-inefficient.
because the money does not carry over

each semester.

But for McCool. the good out-
weighs the bad.

‘l don‘t have to worry about clean-
ing." said McCool. "It‘s safe. close to
campus and I don‘t have to worry
about parking."

Undergraduate housing also in-
cludes Greg Page Apartments. UK
owns and runs these apartments.
along with Cooperstown Village. Like
residence halls. everything but long-
distance telephone service and cable is
lumped into one sum. All people living
in campus housing that is not consid—
ered a residence hall are not required
to open a dining account.

Greg Page has both four-person
and single bedroom apartments. all

Landing a good

Many reasons: Unregulated business, University
contributing to the number of bad landlords in city

By John Vlampler
STAFF WRITER I

Landlords: They have the power to
strike fear in even the hardiest of stu-
dents seeking off—campus housing.

Ike Lawrence. 21 local landlord
who owns several residences near
UK. said that by his estimation.
about 50 percent of landlords are
“good to pretty good." while the oth-

er half are terrible.

Lawrence suggested that one rea-
son for such a high level of bad land
lords is that the business is not regu-
lated. There is no licensing or training
to be a landlord.

“Licensing is a form of pro-active-
ness." Lawrence said. "You get rid of
the bad people ahead of time.“

Lawrence also cited UK as indi-

rect contributor to the problem of bad
landlords.

“(Whem large employers such as
the University are in a property-buy
ing mood. this opens tip opportunities
to landlords to continue to let their
properties run down. knowing that
when they finally get shut down. they
can (still) sell. " Lawrence said.

Richard Bryant. vice president of
Touchstone Properties in Lexington.
said situations were even worse when
he was a student at UK during the '70s.
Back then there were fewer apart-
ments. and students pretty much had

to put up with what they got. Rarely
did you ever call the landlord, and if
something broke. you usually fixed it
yourself. he said. Bryant said he sees
the increased number of apartments
near UK and the increased competi»
tion between landlords as improving
the quality of living for students.

For those landlords who do take
care of their properties. there are a lot
of intangible costs that go into keep-
ing housing up to code and in good
condition
