Discussion of Impeachment Committee Senator Novak moved to discuss the Impeachment Committee for 15 minutes, with nobody speaking for more than one minute; Senator Miller seconded. Senator Novak then withdrew the stipulation each speaker could only speak for one minute. The motion passed unanimously. Senator Menke, Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee, said the next meeting would be on the 18. Senate Meeting cont. 16-30 August 7, 1986 page 3 President Hendrick spoke about the whole process and said there were several options, including proceeding with Vice President Muir's hearings, and then going ahead with his own. Or, sropping both and keeping calm waters. He also explained Senator Mixer could go to the University administration, and Senator Novak could do the same, and let them handle both cases. Other senators spoke feeling since the committee had done so much work already, it should continue on for the last two meetings and report back. At 4:43, Senate President Chadwell passed the gavel, and then gave his personal opinion of the situation, saying it has gone "too far." When the 15 minute discussion ended, Senator Spicer moved to discharge the committee; Senator Novak seconded. This motion held a lot of discussion, basically the same as in the 15 minute discussion, until Senator Zayas called for the question; Senator Harrington seconded. The motion to discharge the Impeachment Committee failed with seven in favor and 11 opposed (Harrington, Davis, Leroy, Lieberman, Menke, Miller, Mixer, Parker, Popadak, Susman and Zayas). With no objections, the meeting moved back into the Order of the Day. IX. OLD BUSINESS A. Approval of Student Services Operating Policy Senator Leroy moved to approve; Senator Zayas seconded.
