Debate prevents passing of new SG constitution for third week ByRODOVERTON SG Information The new Student Government (SG)constitution remained unpas-sed by StudentLegislative Assem - bly (SLA) membersTuesday night for the third week in arow, guaran-teeing the constitution will not appearas a referendum during next week's campus-wide elections. Debate, which stalled the pas-sage of the constitution, was cen-tered en the issue of SG presiden-tial qualifications. Several motions to amend the sectionofqualificationsweremade — one completely omitting the section which defines the presi-dential candidates as a member of student government — but none were passed. Delegate Keith Funderburk in a motion raised the idea that the Student Government president should be chosen from the SLA. Funderburk wanted to keep the qualifications as they currently are, which states a presi-dent must be a representative of student government. This current rule denies mem-bersofthe AttorneyGeneral's staff or other branches of student gov-ernment from running for presi-dent The motion was eventually failed by the SLA. Another motion, which would eliminate the prerequisite that the presidcntmusibeamemberofSG, was later made and debated, but no decision was reached on the issue. The motion, if passed next week, will allow candidates to run for president that have no prior expe-rience with student government. SG President Jeffrey Weeks be-lieves the possible amendments will not have a positive effect on the constitution. "I have great concerns about the possible amendments dealing with presidential requirements. We have to keep in mind that the docu-ment has to be approved by the ad-ministration," Weeks said. With the constitution not ap-pearing on next week's referen-dum, Weeks said that time is run-ning out on having the document approved by Chancellor William Moran this semester. "Next week is probably our final chance to pass the document through the SLA. If it (the new constitution) passesSLAany later than that, we won't see any action taken this year," Weeks said.
