OPEN DISCUSSION PRES. PRO TEM SMITH YIELDED THE FLOOR TO CHRIS ROBERTSON. CHRIS ROBERTSON STATED THAT ARTICLE IV OF THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH SAYS THAT A 2/3 SENATE VOTE IS IMPOWERED TO REFER PROPOSALS TO MEMBERSHIP, ALSO THAT A REFERENDUM, UNDER ARTICLE VII, A SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE TO PASS. ROBERTSON STATED THAT THERE IS A CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS OF THE SENATE RIGHTS TO MAKE A REFERENDUM, AND THAT HE IS NOT ASKING TO PUT IN A PERMANENT RULE, GIVEN THAT A REFERENDUM EQUALS A PROPOSAL TO THE STUDENTS, THE SENATE HAS NO RIGHT NOT TO PRESENT THIS TO THE STUDENTS.

SWANK SHOULD SAVE THE COMMENTS FOR HIS TURN IN OPEN DISCUSSION. SENATE MEETING 2 0-16 MARCH 29, 1990 -14- IX. OPEN DISCUSSION ( CONT. ) PRES. BUNIN STATED THAT CHRIS ROBERTSON, WHO IS AN EXCELLENT SPEAKER, DOES NOT HAVE A PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION, AS REFERENDUM REFERS TO PROPOSALS TO PEOPLE ONLY IN LEGAL JURISDICTION, THEREFORE IT IS NOT BINDING. HE SAID THAT THE PROPOSALS DEAL ONLY WITH THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK, WITH A SPECIFIC LEGAL FUNCTION TO MAKE THE LEGISLATURE RUN SMOOTHLY. ALSO, THE PETITION SAYS THAT THE "STUDENTS ARE BEING DENIED A CHOICE." WHICH STINKS, BUT THAT ONE MONTH AGO CHRIS ROBERTSON FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST HIM WHEN THE YELLING REBEL ARTICLE PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE, CLAIMING THAT THAT WAS CAMPAIGNING, EVEN THOUGH HE AND HIS SUPPORTERS DID NOT VIOLATE RULES, AS FOUND BY THE ELECTIONS BOARD, WHILE CHRIS ROBERTSON WAS FOUND TO HAVE VIOLATED THE RULES. PRES. BUNIN STATED THAT DISQUALIFICATION WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL IT AFFECTED CHRIS ROBERTSON PERSONALLY. WHAT A DOUBLE STANDARD, ESPECIALLY AS THE PEOPLE WHO SIGNED THE PETITION DID NOT HAVE THE FULL STORY, ONLY THE ROBERTSON SIDE. PRES. BUNIN STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE GREEKS, AND THAT HE WAS VOTED IN BY THE GREEKS LAST YEAR. PRES. BUNIN STATED THAT HIS ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT HE DID NOT DO A GOOD ENOUGH JOB OF TELLING HIS OWN POSITION. PRESIDENT BUNIN ASKED IF THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME, AND STATED THAT IT PROBABLY DID NOT, HOWEVER, THE ELECTIONS BOARD, WITHOUT HIS INFLUENCE, VOTED WITH INTEGRITY, AND THAT EVEN THOUGH THE VIOLATION OF THE ELECTIONS BOARD RULE WAS, AS SEN. PRATT STATED, A "CHICKEN SHIT OFFENSE", IT WAS THE ONE ALLOWED BY LAW. PRES. BUNIN STATED THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED SHOULD FIND OUT ALL THE INFORMATION FIRST, BEFORE JUDGING ON THE MATTER. PRES. BUNIN THEN WENT ON TO STATE THAT HE WOULD LIKE ALL TO COME TO SPRINGFEST, AND THAT ON WEDNESDAY, TOMMY ROCKER AND MIKE O'BRIEN WOULD BE HERE, THAT ON THURSDAY, FRESH AND TED CARPENTER WOULD BE HERE, AND THAT ON FRIDAY, THERE WOULD BE AN OUTDOOR DANCE AND BARRY SOBEL WILL BE HERE.
