Pendulum Senate meeting tonight at 6 p.m. Volume Vn, Number 18 Elon College, Elon College, NC 27244 Thursday, March 5,1981 Seven Senators to be reprimanded; SGA filing deadlines coming up By Joy Hamilton Seven of 37 senators who have missed two consecutive meetings or a total of three meetings are coming before tiie judicial committee, com posed of eight students from the Senate. The judicial committee checks up on the attendance of senators. Ano ther senator has resigned. Names of these senators have not been released be cause the judicial committee could not meet last week and their investigation is not complete. According to SGA trea surer Dan Daly, these seven senators have been “overtly delinquent in attendance.” SGA president John Sadler says they will not be re placed this year. Coming before the senate, who did not have a quorum last Thursday night, is a bill to limit the number of senators from 37 to 21. There is also a bill to request that the lacrosse team be come formally recognized as an organized team, with a paid coach. Another bill in the works will ask for the building of a crosswalk coming from the Oaks. At last week’s Senate meeting. Art Donsky from PIRG talked to the students about voter registration for Elon students. A campaign for this is to go into effect soon. Filing deadhne for those wishing to run for executive offices (SGA president, vice president, and treasurer), is Friday, April 10. On Tues day, April 14, the candidates will speak at college pro grams assembly. Elections for these candidates will be April 15-17. Tuesday, April 21, is the filing deadline for Senate candidates with elections from April 22-24. The Pendulum would also like to correct an error. During the second week of school, a confe rence for senators was held at Crumpton Center. This conference covered parlia mentary procedure and how the Senate runs. In last week’s editorial, confe rences for new SGA sena tors were suggested. The editor. Dean Long candidly speaks out By Mari Behrend “There are very few sober vandals,” says William G. Long, dean of student af- I fairs. Vandalism and alcohol I have become major pro- I blems plaguing our campus, i Over a recent weekend, buU I lentin boards on first floor Alamance were burned and newly planted trees were run over by some vehicle. These are just two more incidents added to a long list. When will this destruction end? Vandalism creates unne- I cessary and costly expenses I to the college. According to Dean Long, about $2,500 to J3,000 a year is spent as a result of vandalism on this campus. Long also added that it is rare that a vandal is caught and pays for the damage done. As a result, the money comes from the pockets of students paid in tuition, room and board fees. “This is two or three thousand dollars we can’t use to enrich programs at Elon,” said Long. Most students blame van dalism on outsiders but this isn’t always the case. Accord ing to Dean Long, “Some damage is done by outsiders coming to the campus and vandalizing, and it is wrong to assume that all vandalism is done by students.” A minority of students seem to cause the vandalism and many feel the college should ask these students to leave. It is often heard that the college protects students who vandalize or commit crimes off campus and that charges have been dropped against them when non college adults would be pro secuted. According to Dean Long, if the college catches a person violating the law, they do prosecute.
