Students volunteer time for Special Olympics this Friday Stacey Ward Staff Reporter Sophomore Senator Chad Bebout has been charged with fail ure to comply with his student gov ernment duties, which may result in impeachment. Charges include failure to at tend SGA and class meetings. According to the SGA consti tution, the judicial committee has three options: to impeach Bebout, to refer the decision to the SGA senate, or to keep him in office. Sophomore class senators for- nially presented the charges at Thursday’s meeting. “I think it’s a good thing for student government. We’re not putting up with people not showing Up. We’re willing to work this year,” SGA President Michael Rodgers said. Bebout did not return calls to The Pendulum Monday and Tues day nights. Sophomore Class President Stacey Draper and Vice President Matt Belardi confronted Bebout. “We wanted to set a precedent. We want to get things done, a weak link will bring us down,” Draper said. A judicial hearing is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 8, depending on the availability of Bebout and judicial committee members. Bebout will face a closed hear ing led by the judicial committee. “He deserves to be given an other chance. We need to make him understand that everyone else’s priorities are with student govern ment,” Belardi said. Bebout will have the opportu nity to choose a representative from the SGA senate on his behalf, said Judicial Committee Chair Brian Corrado. If Bebout’s representa tive is chosen from the judicial com mittee there will be only four mem bers, Corrado said. The committee members are Daniel Haithcox, Iris Boutros, Vinnie Vaccarezza, Eric Cone, Jen nifer Neblettt, and Corrado. Five committee members will be chosen to serve as impeachment hearing members. A member of the sophomore class must be present to charge Bebout at the hearing. Draper said. If possible in the spring, the sophomore class is considering amending the constitution’s im peachment law. Draper said. Bebout was hand-delivered a letter stating the charges against him. He was present at Thursday’s meeting. The senate questioned Bebout and he rebutted for ten minutes. See SGA, Page 4.
