Mix-up causes
turmoil over
E-board resu

By KYLE FOSTER
Senior Staff Writer

The Student Government Associ-
ation Elections Chair yesterday ne-
gated a decision to oust president-
elect Scott Crosbie and vice presi-
dent-elect Keith Sparks because the
elections board apparently did not
understand its constitution.

On Wednesday night the elections
board disqualified Crosbie and
Sparks’ victory because of alleged
campaign violations, throwing the
election outcome into turmoil.

The situation has caused confu-
sion among not only the presidential
candidates, but also SGA and the
elections board. No one knows who
exactly the president-elect is.

Crosbie and Sparks defeated their
nearest opponents — Christa Col-
lins and Amy Cooper — by almost
200 votes after the March 27-28
SGA elections.

“It‘s ridiculous," Crosbie said last
night. “The whole elections board
has been incompetent." He also
questioned whether SGA knows
how to follow procedure.

Crosbie said he had not been in-
formed that the elections board was
holding a meeting about the com-
plaints filed against his campaign.
Crosbie said he was shocked when
Watkins told him by telephone after
the meeting that he had been dis-
qualified by the elections board in a

said Watkins told him Monday that

But the elections board decided
Wednesday night that complaints
and protests that the two candidates
solicited votes illegally, removed
campaign posters of other candi—
dates and overspent the regulated
expenditure amount of 8500 war—
ranted disqualification.

complaints in early April, btit only

Med Center health fair
to mix fun, information

By CAROLINE SHIVELY
Staff Writer

The UK Medical Center Health
Fair will combine “fun and informa—
tion" for UK employees and their
families this weekend. according to
Von Wides, manager of UK Health
Care Plans.

The Fair. which is in its fourth
year, will be held today from noon
to 6 pm. and tomorrow from 8 am.
to noon.

“This is one way we can familiar-
ize UK employees with the services
of the Medical Center," Wides said.
”This is one way we can familiarize
UK employees with the services of

a thank you for UK employees who

The event also informs employ-

“We always have this fair around

On Earth Day’s 20th anniver—
sary last year. about 200 million
people worldwide marched. sang
signed petitions and planted trees
to express a common desire for a
clean and healthy planet.

Today. many wonder if it did

SGA

Comlnued from page 1
ing Watkins.

Watkins and board member Anti-
mony Bishop did not make any de-
cisions after reading the complaints
to those present. Watkins recorded
the fust meeting and said he would
have the other eight members of the
elections board review the tape and
the board would make a decision
later that week.

A decision did not come until
Wednesday night Some —- includ-
ing current SGA President Sean
Lohman —— say it's too late.

After hearing of his disqualifica-
tion, Crosbie filed an appeal with
the SGA Judicial Board early yes-
terday morning. In response. Judi-
cial Board Chief Justice Ken Walk-

er arranged a hearing with the board
fa this Sunday.

But Lohman said he searched
SGA‘s Constitution and Bylaws
Wednesday night and determined
that the elections board's ruling was
unconstitutional because it missed
the five-day deadline to make a de-
cisiort.

Lehman said he then recommend-
ed to Watkins ttutt the board hold
another meeting to reconsider its ac-
tion and vote accordingly — revers-
ing its decision.

Watkins concurred with Lehman
and agreed to hold another meeting.
However. after discussion with
Crosbie and Sparks, Watkins re-
versed the decision yesterday with-
out consulting other election board
members. telling Crosbie not to
worry about it any more because the
controversy was over.

He then walked out to the SGA

office and told those present the
elections results were official. “Ap-
parentlywehadnopowertodo
what we did and therefore there was
no decision to be made and we
don't need to meet." Watkins told
the Kernel.

Elections board member Brian
Johnson said he agreed with Wat-
kins‘ decision because “if the deci-
sion made Wednesday night was a
violation of the constitution then
there had not really been any deci-
sion made.”

But, he said. the delay was ver-
bally agreed upon by those present
two weeks ago at an earlier elec-
tions board meeting —- including
Crosbie.

“Greg was only being fair to
those candidates involved by delay-
ing a decision — there were only
two (elections board) members
there." Johnson said.

“In all fairness to all candidates
thatran.itshouldbetakentotheju-
dicial board. I think Collins/Cooper
and other parties lave legitimate
complaints and if Crosbie and
Sparks have not done anything
wrong then it will not hurt them for
the judicial board to hear com-
plaints.”

Other members of the elections
board who participated in the 5-0
vote Wednesday said yesterday they
were not as pleased with Watkins'
decision to rebuke the disqualifica-
tion.

“Common sense would say that
the chair cannot make the decision
without having an elections board
meeting,” Chris McKinney said.
“Some of the complaints were defi-
nitely in question I think the de-
cision will have to stand until the
board can meet."

Elections board member Laura
Waldren said she does not think
Watkins was in the position to turn
the decision around.

“As far as I'm concerned. (Cros-
bie) is still disqualified because
(Wednesday) night's meeting was
unanimous and Greg does not have
the athority." she said.

Waldren said even if Crosbie’s

disqualification is deemed unconsti-
tutional. the judicial board needs to
investigate the situation further.

“If we let those guys by with all
the dirty campaigning then what do
you need an elections board for?"

She also hinted that Crosbie and
Sparks are involved with Watkins'
lusty decision-making.

“IfeelGregWatkinshutriedto
nintheraceasfairlyashecanbutit
would be a lot easier if people
would leave him alone and stop cor-
nering him.” she said.

Watkins said that despite a deci-
sion to rule the disqualification un-
constitutional. he could not be com-
fonable with Crosbie and Sparks as
head of SGA without further inves-
tigation of the incidents.

“If we’re going to have someone
ntn and break rules, what’s he going
to do when he's president I think
something should be done —— I just
don’t know what can be done,“ he
said.

However. Lohman said if the
elections board thinks the subject
should not be ignored, but investi-
gated further, it can appeal to the ju-
dicial board, which is “possible but
not probable." he said.

Chief Justice Ken Walker w0uld

not comment on whether the ewe-
tions board decision is final. pend-
inganothermeetingmriftheinitial
election results will stand. He said
because an appeal has not been sub-
mitted to him and ruled on by the
judicial board. he is not in a posi-
tion to comment.

Crosbie said he sees no reason to
fta'ther dispute the election resulu.

“Since Greg Watkins and Sean
Lohman have stated that the elec-
tion results are official. there is no
further discussion."

Signed statements from two elec-
tions board members stated that
Crosbie/Sparks had violated cam-
paign rules. Ted Supulski wrote that
he pulled posters from the College
of Law Library walls approximately
three feet behind voting machines
However. a photo of this violation
has not been submitted as evidence.

Tom Bloom signed a statement
saying he “witnessed a Crosbie/
Sparks campaigner enter the polling
booth and proceeded to show her
which buttons to push."

The 1991 Election Rules and
Regulations prohibited posters and
campaigners within 25 feet of the
polling places.

sions on environmental issues.”
says Dykstra. ”I‘he fact that today
some of those same politicians and
companies have advanced to the
point where they feel they have to
lie about their record is in some
sense an environmental victory."

Small comfort, maybe, but it
shows an attitudinal change that
can’tbedenied.

“If you ask the question correctly,
everybody's going to say, ‘I'm an
environmentalist.’ " says Denis
Hayes. coordinator of both the first

Earth Day in 1970 and last year's
observance. “It‘s hard to get any-
body other than (former Interior
Secretary) Jim Watt and (White
House chief of staff) John Sununu
to say, ‘I hate the environment.’ "

Pollsters say consumers no longer
believe pollution and solid waste
problems are solely the province of
business and govcmment.

Thomas Miller of the Roper Or-
ganization says a recent survey
shows that the majority of people
point the finger at themselves as be-
ing resistant to recycling. He adds
that 34 percent blame the public, up
8 percentage points over a two-year
period; 21 percent criticize busi-
ness, down 6 points. And. 25 per-
cent blame government, down 2

percentage points.

It already is. says Jay D. Hair,
president of the National Wildlife
Federation. He sees a developing
“core of environmental ethic" in so-
ciety.

“It's not so much what’s happen-
ing at the national level. It’s what‘s
happening at the grass roots —— peo-
ple saying. ‘l'm just taking care of
what l love,‘ " he says.

“The most important change in
people’s attitudes is that environ-
mental issues are now viewed as a
public health issue," he says.

also gathered from the College In-
formation Network.

ranged from $4.95 for a burger
to $11.95 for the ribeye or
baby back ribs.

While we looked over the
menu, our server brought us
nachos and a mild salsa. These
befittingly tied us over until
our food arrived.

As an appetizer we had Te-
jas quesadillas ($4.95). These
were the more traditional ones
stuffed mostly with cheese.
Sour cream and guacomole
were served alongside the quce
sadillas.

There were five large quesa-
dillas to the servrng. We ate
only four because we were get-
ting full.

For an entree I had Tacos Al
Carbon ($8.95), mesquite-
grilled chicken strips in soft
flour tacos. They were served
with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour
cream, and guacomole.

The chicken was full of the
mesquite flavor. It really made

the dish. The other ingredients
were fresh and good. but notho

Refried beans and a tasty

dishes to the Tacos Al Carbon.
