Parliamentarian because of h "These people are strongest in ability as well," Bergland said, "which will work for the benefit of myself, the senate, and the stu-dent body." Having a young executive board was important to Berg-land. "Youth doesn't have to mean inexperience, but rather, new perspectives," he said of his new board members, whose average age is 19. "A young exec will bring a newer, fresher attitude with theme that will be healthy for .d ;k ig x- :d le r-to ;h tt, id 1e al er or th r-n-nt k-x-id ot is 11 ly at si-w en rd as is strong ideas for improvement and his experience working with the Elections Committee and the Constitutional Revisions Com-mittee. He also pointed out that Parchert has worked closely with Todd Bugg, former Parliamen-tarian. Parchert expressed an in-terest in reviewing senate's con-stitution, said Bergland, and is willing to make any modifica-tions if necessary. Concerning the IPC position, Bergland felt no one else on cam-pus was more qualified than candidates Porter. Having been involved with the Financial Advisory Board and campus media, as well as IPC, Porter has gained a greater awareness of what senate does outside of Issues and Pro-gramming, said Bergland. he said Porter also has very solid and clear ideas about the speakers and programs he would like to bring to Wesleyan. SUC candidate Stearns was chosen by Bergland primarily on the basis of her management skills and creativity. "She has very good ideas about increasing turnout for SUC sponsored events," Bergland said. In the year to come, he said, I think noticeable improvements will be seen under her leadership. "SWHR needs a commissioner that is a leader, who is respected, and can be tough," said Bergland, "and Ricci fits that bill." He said Ricci will be suc-cessfull as SWHR commissioner because she isn't afraid to tackle issues on this campus. She is also very much tuned-in to what Stu-dent Welfare is all about on this campus, he said. Bergland said he selected Anderson for Media Commis-sioner because of his leadership potential and ability to learn. "Those are his strongest points," said Bergland, "and are very valuable as the Media Commis-sioner must wear a lot of dif-ferent hats and have a will-ingness to learn what the job is all about." He said Anderson also has the proper skills and attitude, and that he will learn quickly what the job entails and do it well. Bergland said he has given this new executive board a sense of freedom that will allow them to explore issues and problems out-side their respective jobs.

Photo by Laurie Lindal Argus wins awards The Argus staff won third place in the non-daily General Ex-cellence category and placed in four other categories at the Illi-nois College Press Association/ Chicago Tribune awards cere-mony last Saturday in Chicago. Argus Editor Brett Johnson won first place in the editorial writing category for "This is Wesleyan?", an editorial ques-tioning the identity of Wesleyan in the wake of increased enroll-ment. Johnson also won third place for column writing with a Speak Easy entitled "The Argus is not an excuse," in which he criticized Student Senate's decision to lower the Argus budget. Rich Hatchett, Argus Sports Editor, won first and third place for sports column writing for two Time Outs entitled "Paramutual Prisoners" and "Loserville's Messiahs," respectively. Johnson, News Editor Heidi Miller, -nd staff members Dave Ruggles and Kelly Gaskins won third place for in-depth reporting for the special features "Crisis in the Heartland," investigating the current farm crisis in the coun-try. Managing Editor Arlen Bowyer was re-elected to the ICPA Board of Directors as Small School Director. Volk and Weber evaluate senate year By Rae Maurer "I think the year went really well. We were at a rebuilding point," said current Student Senate President Jill Volk. "Now senate is at a takeoff point. I think next year's exec board has a lot of opportunities." Volk added, "We wanted to keep the budget stable, increase programming, and vary pro-gramming." The establishment of Fall Break was Vice President Brad Weber's major accomplishment this year. He said he would like to see it extended to two days and believes that addition will come in time. Weber also wanted to see more student input into the curriculum. He met with various department heads and asked them to meet with their seniors to discuss the department's program. Although Weber's idea was not carried out to its full extent, both the Chemis-try and Physics departments will be using his suggestions. Weber is currently working on a small schools leadership con-ference. The April 26 conference will involve small colleges from the Midwest. Weber said differ-ent Wesleyan faculty members will be leading discussion groups, along with members of the Board of Trustees. Incoming Vice Presi-dent Eli Allen will be assisting him, and Weber hopes she will plan to hold the conference next year, too. The Fall Carnival was a new event for senate, said Volk. "It was a philanthropy event for Lighthouse, and we raised over $400," she said. "It went really well." Weber praised the Media Com-mission for its growth. "I think media strengthened in all areas," he said. "Especially the radio station." "I'm happy with the year," said Weber. Both he and Volk felt that such programs as Jeremy Rifkin, Larry Linville, Wallace Terry and the nuclear power plant discussion helped make the year successful. Said Volk, "I would like to see the different types of programming con-tinued." Constitution programming starts Dr. Sotirios A. Barber, from the Department of Government at the University of Notre Dame, will speak on campus March 9. Barber's presentations will kick off Wesleyan's programming for the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. Barber will be speaking at noon in the Executive Lounge. His theme will come from work he is doing on judicial review. His main address will be at 4 p.m. in the Davidson Room. His topic is "Anamolies of New Right Constitutionalism." Barber is the author of several books and articles on constitu-tional interpretation and political and moral philosophy. He con-fronts the whole constitution in-stead of examining it section by section, and interprets it as the nation's commitment to a good society. 6, 1987 Inside: Senate grades ............ .p. 2 'Terra Nova' opens ........... p. 4 a ,, 111 I ~sr~QI 1 ~ I I -IJ- II 1 I I LI- 1 1111 - 5-
