MILLS New Editor Student Government Presi-dent Michael Pearson presented his veto concerning the invita-tion that would allow Student Government to co-sponsor an in-vitation to Nation of Islam rep-resentative Reverend Willie Muhammedat the Student Leg-islative Assembly meeting Tues-day night. Accordingto Delegate Sammy Webb, the in-vitation to speak, as written and signed by Vice-Presi-dent Christo-pher Leslie, is extended to someone otherthanthe Pearson representative he asked SG to bring to campus. Muhammed, who i s addressed in the invitation, is a local min-ister. Webb has invited Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhhamad, also a representative ofthe Nation of Islam. According to Pearson, he ve-toed the legislation because the SLA did not reply to his request that the invitation and its word-ing, which implies sponsorship in name only, be reviewed. Pearson argues that sponsorship can not be in name only, that financial responsibility must be assumed. "I never received a reply. I in-formed them that if no decisive action was taken, that I would veto it. I made the decision," Pearson said. The invitation, dated Decem-ber 14, 1993, states that, "All financial and logistical arrange-ments will be handled through a third-party vendor, The Black Endowment Fund, Inc., which is owned and operated by Mr. Sammy Webb.' The issue is the financial li-ability that falls toStudentGov-ernment by sponsoring or co-sponsoring any event," Pearson said.
