New visitation policy discussed in senate
by Kevin Bess
staff writer
Student Senate is studying a proposal
whicn would extend visitation to 7 days a week
- but the penalties are raising concerns among
a few senators.
The executive committee of Student Gov
ernment Association (SGA) proposed a new
visitation policy at the third senate meeting
this year. The proposal allowed for visitation
Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 10
p.m., Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. until
12 a.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. until 10 p.m.
Along with the new hours, the proposal
also included a new set of violation penalties.
The penalty for a first offense, under this
proposal, is a $100 fine and disciplinary pro
bation; for a second offense, the penalty is
suspension from Gardner-Webb; for a third
offense, the penalty is expulsion from Gardner-
Webb.
In the presentation of the proposal, which
was formulated by Residence Hall Associa
tion last semester and resubmitted by the SGA
executive officers at the third senate meeting,
Jeff Price, vice president of SGA and chair of
the Student Senate, explained that the willing
ness to accept more sever penalties for visita
tion violations would show that the students
would accept responsibility along with the
freedom given by the new policy.
Discussion took place and opposition
arose from a few senators including Richie
Ambrose, senior class president. Ambrose
said the penalties were too stiff for the viola
tion. He expressed support for more visita
tion, but he disagreed with the increase in
penalties.
One sentence in the penalties section
which would carry the first offense over into
the whole career of a student was amended to
limit the time period to one year. The rest of the
penalties passed along with the entire docu
ment.
After the floor was opened to the gallery
for commit, a student observer expressed con
cern over how duty would increase for each
resident advisor to police visitation in order to
enforce the new penalties.
A motion for a re-count was made, and
Ambrose took this opportunity to make a mo
tion to table the proposal until the next sched
uled senate meeting. The proposal was suc
cessfully tabled and discussion will continue
on this issue in the next senate meeting. Stu
dents may attend senate meetings.

Constitution passage
hits a snag
by Greg Carpenter
staff writer
The Student Senate will be going back to
review the new constitution it has already
passed,on a recommendation by the Student
Life Committee.
The Student Life Committee met on Oc
tober 8 to give recommendations concerning
the new Student Government Association Con
stitution which has ah-eady been passed and
voted into effect by the Student Senate.
It was recommended by the committee to
review the constitution, with outside help, in
order to correct language and inconsistencies
present in the document.
Students were scheduled to vote on the
new constitution on October 12, but the voting
will be postponed until the document is re
vised.
Students were invited to comment on the
new constitution and some students did re
spond. Their comments were heard by the
committee and the members of the executive
body of SGA.
The executive officers of SGA hoped to
present the constitution to the Gardner-Webb
Board of Trustees this month, but it has to be
voted on by the students and submitted for the
senior staffs approval first, so the possibility
of presenting it to the board seems doubtful.
