SGA investigation raises many questions and concerns
by Jason Farr
editor
Due to recent allegations, the Student Gov
ernment Association has voted to begin the im
peachment procedures of their current President,
John Miller.
The motion was made to begin the proce
dure by Crystal Higgins. She asserts that Miller
has not lived up to all the expectations of the Of
fice of the Resident.
For instance, members of the Senate allege
that one of the first duties of the new President is
to appoint both a judicial council and an elections
committee and that this was not done by Miller.
They also claim that Miller could not give no rea
sonable explanation for this omission.
An investigating conmiittee has been formed
to look into these allegations. This committee.
“ I have no desire to run for another
office while here at Gardner-Webb Univer
sity. You can quote me on that.”
Jeff Price
^pointed by Kevin Bess, SGA Vice-President, is
made up of Heather Barnes, Amanda Williams, and
Darlene Broadhurst.
Because of this investigation, there have also
been many accusations against former Vice-Presi-
dent and President Pro-Temp of the Senate, Jeff
Price. These accusations against Price state that
he supports Miller’s impeachment because he
wants the position he lost to Miller in last spring's
election.
“This is not true,” says Price. “I have no de
sire to nm for another office while here at Gardner-
Webb University. You can quote me on that.”
In any case, should Miller be impeached, the
current Vice-President, Kevin Bess, would assume
the position of President and a new election would
be held to determine a new Vice-President
Since the motion to impeach Miller was
made, both Price and Bess have seen an improve
ment in Miller's job performance.
“John has picked up his pace a lot,” says
Price. “I have a lot more respect for him now than
ever before.”
“Also, just because the motion was made to
begin the impeachment procedure, it doesn’t mean
that Miller will automatically be impeached,” says
Price. “ Once the investigation committee reports
on its findings, it will be up to them to call for a
vote of impeachment. It will then take a 2/3 ma
jority vote.”
Price encourages all students to voice their
opinions to any member of the*Senate.

“I just drop studying-everything—and

Gardn^. Talk about weird. That's crazy-it's al
most suicide. Why would you subject yourself to
indigestion? I don't think that would be a valid
excuse for not taking the exam.
When asked what he does, E.J. Dolce
replied, “I sleep.” That makes sense. I guess.
Shouldn't you be STUDYING E.J.?
“Well, I don't do anything weird while
I'm studying, but I do take my Winnie the Pooh

And that's all for this writer and her search

Good Luck to everyone on your finals.
