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.

More than 70 Elon students
are volunteering their time at the
Alamance County Special Olym
pics bowling tournament Friday
Nov. 3.
The volunteers come from a
variety of campus organizations
including Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship and most of the greek
organizations.
Mary Beth Jones, the Elon
Volunteers! coordinator for the
event, said the organizations that
provided most of the volunteers are
the Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Sigma
Alpha sororities.
“I think everyone that volun
teers is doing a special service.... All
of the years that I’ve been involved
everyone has come together and
done a good job,” said Jones, who
has been involved with the pro
gram for four years.
More than 250 athletes are
expected at the bowling tourna
ment, which is being held at the
Country Club Lanes in Burlington.
The athletes range in age from eight
to 85.
The day will begin with the
ceremonial lighting of the torch. In
the morning the children will bowl.
Their activity will end with a pizza
party. The adults will bowl in the
afternoon and their activity will
end with the serving of an early
dinner.
All participants will receive a
ribbon and the top three partici
pants in each age division will re
ceive a medal.
This is the 27th year for the
bowling tournament, which is be
ing sponsored by the recreation
departments of Alamance County
and Burlington.
Shuttle vans for Elon students
who wish to volunteer will leave
from the Moseley Center parking
lot at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, and 3
p.m. for anyone who needs trans
portation.

Olympics contact Jones at ext. 2102.
