ILLINOIS WESLEYAN SEP 3 01983 UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES "Nothing succeeds like excess." -Oscar Wilde ILLINOIS WESLEYAN DEVOTED TO THE CONCEPT OF FREE PRESS Volume 90 Bloomington, Illinois 61701, Friday, September 30, 1983 N Heavy voter turnout Hawkins gains presidency umber 5 Dave Hawkins was elected senior class president last night in a heavy voter turnout. Also elected were Amy Phillip, Nadine Koziol, and John Brennan as off-campus senators. The election for freshman senator once again proved in-decisive, and will be forced to a run-off next Monday, Oct. 3 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. above the Dug Out stairs. Hawkins received 41 votes. Other candidates for senior class president were: John Ashenfelter 35 votes; and Renee Tomes, 34 votes. There were three positions open for off-campus senator. Koziol and Phillip were elected with 25 and 22 votes respectively. Write-in candidate John Brennan was elected with 12 votes. The race yet going is the freshman senator race. Par-ticipating in the run-off will be: Dave Montgomery, Patrick Palmer, Gianna Stodgel, and Mark Whitsitt. Media Center restores hours By Andy Best As a result of student and facul-ty feedback, the media center at the library has been rescheduled to close at midnight. Earlier this semester the center had been closing at 10 p.m. in order to operate more economically. "Due to faculty and student in-put, the idea of closing the media center would not be in their best interest," according to Dr. Highum, director of Sheean Library. The response by the faculty, however, was divided since it depended on how much each professor uses the media center. Highum said that the decision was based not on a tally vote by the university, but on whether or not any hardships would be caused by the earlier closing time. Student Senate President Don Mizerk obtained student feed-back through senators. Mizerk said that students were over-whelmingly opposed to the 10 p.m. closing. Most of those students opposed to the earlier closing time were nursing, foreign language, biology and chemistry majors who use tapes at the center to study. Many peo-ple said that they had to use the center after ten because of meet-ings and other earlier conflicts.

(Not pictured, Christy Crewse, KD.) Senate stresses better communication By Andy Best Senate President Don Mizerk opened Sunday's senate meeting with his ideas for improving com-munication between the senate and the Wesleyan community. Mizerk listed several points regarding such an improvement. First, senators would have more responsibilities and would estab-lish more lines of communica-tions with their constituents, while executive members of senate would visit hall council meetings. Second, the senate would use the Argus and WESN more often in sending informa-tion out to the university. Another point was that newslet-ters would be used to bring the student government closer to the faculty and staff. Fourth, Senate would interact with the Bloom-ington- Normal community through charity activities and through sending senate speakers to community functions. Mizerk also pointed out the importance of unity among campus organiza-tions, which could be accomplish-ed by having the presidents and chairpersons of all organizations work in one office. A sixth point listed by Mizerk was that there would be improved publicity, and finally, there would be more plan-ning. Treasurer Genevie McKeithan informed senate that the final payment was made on the Wes-leyana, and she also said that the Financial Advisory Board ap-proved the transfer of $750 from the auxiliary fund to the Current Issues account. This was done in order to meet the increase of the fee for an upcoming speaker. Senators later voted unanimously for this transfer, with the excep-tion of one abstention. Parliamentarian Doug Ghidina reminded senators of the elec-tions, which were held yesterday above the Dugout. He added that a run-off election for the freshman senator will be held if necessary, and that it would be held October 3 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. above the Dugout. Major business began with revisions made on the constitu-tion. One of the revisions, accor-ding to Metzger, allows a new senate president to be sworn into office at the spring changeover meeting without having to be sworn in again at the first all-school convocation. Another revi-sion places the Parliamentarian as chairperson of the Elections Committee. These proposed revi-sions will be voted on at the next meeting. Senators also discussed and approved the proposal for November to be Student Organi-zation Advisor Month. This would be a period when faculty and staff members are encouraged to become involved with student ac-tivities. In other business, the issue dis-cussed the most at the meeting was the possibility of senate ad-dressing issues outside of the campus. Randy Miller, Issues and Programming commission-er, requested opinions from senators concerning the drafting of resolutions and writing of let-ters that deal with national and local topics. The majority of senators accepted the idea, though not without question. Some expressed concern over whether or not there would be enough input from constituents, and others questioned if time would allow for the addressing of outside issues by senate. There was only one clear objection from the senate. In the commissioners' reports, IPC commissioner Miller an-nounced that the Religious Life Committee needed two directors: one for House of Chaplains and another for Programming. Standing in for David Hawkins of SUC, Mizerk announced that the concert this Saturday featuring the Elvis Brothers was cancelled, but will be replaced by a band called Agent and a comedian known as "The Good Time Mime." SWHR commissioner Mickey Sadler said that the Festa Wesleyana has been scheduled for November 15. She also said that Cake Service will restart in November. New senators present at Sun-day's meeting were Mary Ellen Woodtli, Munsell; Laura Peter-son, Blackstock; and Marty Heine, SAI. There is still no representative from Phi Gamma Delta. Senators absent at the meeting wee Lisa Setlack, Ferguson; Bill Tomaino, Kemp; Laurie Rizzo, AOPi; and Jan Dietz, KKG. 1983-84 IWU Telephone Dir-ectories are available for pick up by off-campus students in the Office of Residential Pro-grams.
