Day care center funds received By Dave Fetzer With the Executive Council meeting jointly with the Student Assembly, this week's meeting was busier than usual. President Robert Garvin opened the meeting by announcing that $20,000 has been received in funds for a potential Day Care center. "Unless something unforeseen occurs," according to Garvin, "the new center will start this coming fall semester. " At the suggestion of Dean Robert Bowman, dean of student activities, Garvin next presented a progress report on the controversial speed bump issue. The faculty voted 39 to 0 with one abstention in favor of sending a letter to the Board of Governors suggesting that the bumps be replaced with "rumble strips". Garvin then "cordially invited" all present to both the upcoming Administrative Council and Board of Governors meetings. Assembly chairman Jess Torres then brought up the issue of changing the constitution which led to a debate on the

matter of how big the quorum should be for Judicial Advocates. The present quorum is five. Garvin stated that the only fre e time he knew of for all the advocates to meet was 10 p.m. on Wednesday nights. This was immediately challenged by Judicial Advocate Amelia Calac who went on to explain what she felt were the r eaS1>ns for the lack of meetings by this body. In doing so, she stated that she was "not laying any blame on Mr. Higdon," r eferr ing to fellow advocate and assembly parliamentarian John Higdon. However, as Higdon started to tell his side of the story he was immediately involved in a heated debate with Mrs. Calac who branded his statements about meetings and the individual advocates' schedules as lies. Afte r some angry words had flown back and forth, Garvin finally admitted that from the evidence the quorum rule "was going to have to be c hanged." Higdon again tried to interject about the

individual members and their schedules, but was repeatedly verbally attacked by Mrs. Calac who said the assembly should talk of names, "not presumptions.'' After some more debate, chairman Torres tried to have the matter put off to another separate meeting of just the parties involved, but· to no avail. The matter finally came to a s howdown when Treasurer Terri Miles moved that the quorum be reduced to three. There ensued a brief discussion on the constitutionality of this move as Representative Dave Carver suggested the body look at the article in question (Article Seven, Section Three). As a note of comic irony, Carver was handed a copy of the constitution by Mrs. Calac. Discussion followed on the matter of impeachment of advocates who do not regularly attend meetings, after which the motion was passed. Relieved, Garvin said he hoped that now the "logjam will be eas ier to break."

The stage was . now set for the final major issue. Garvin brought up the Executive Council recommendation that a second voting member to the Administrative Council be appointed. Chairman Torres then suggested a constitutional change which would make the assembly chairman this appointee. Garvin then further suggested that the chairman be elected for a full year term if the proposal by Torres was adopted, "for continuity's sake." With all these changes flying around, the cafeteria jukebox added the right note of irony by suddenly blaring out "Let It Be." Representative Dave Ritter then suggested the chairman be placed on the ballot, but Higdon warned of possible "rifts" between an elected chairman and assembly. Wanting to avoid another devisive debate, Garvin called for the proposal to be made into a motion. Torres so obliged. However, Representative Camille Armstrong wondered "why the chairman

Since there's never a dull moment at• assembly meetings, the last one this week was one of the liveliest. Garvin started to ask for adjournment when Torres asked the members to stay a moment longer. His reason was that Torres was resigning as chairman because he was moving to Texas and leaving Palomar on Thursday. The assembly was momentarily stunned, but quickly appointed Dave Carver as interim chairman.

Reagan recall program seeks new support The Reagan Recall Movement is seeking student support. "We feel that s tude nts in particular should involve themselves in this e nd eavor," said Ra lph J. Sombs , State Coordinator for the Citizens for Recall of Ronald Reagan. ''Governor Reagan has failed, so far , to produce the type of farsighted government needed , and r e quested, by California youth." Mr Somhs also cited Reagan' s failure to set up liasons with business to open jobs for stude nts, his polici es towa rd the University of California, and his veto of higher e ducation bills. He a lso pointed out the rising costs imposed upon the students for higher education under the University of California system. In the last two years, the UC has rised to the twelfth most expensive university system in the nation. "The life blood of this e ffort is to work," continued Mr. Sombs, "and we need people, as well as funds, to perform the myriad tasks to make this effort a success." This, the third attempt to unseat Governor Reagan, required that 156,000 petitions be completed and notorized no later than May !. Students, or student groups wishing more information concerning Citizens for the Recall of Ronald Reagan, should write CRR R, 3903 Cuny 1\ ve., Sacramento, Calif. 95823, or call 428-73 61.

would be a better" choice. Garvin answered by noting the chairman's prominent position and added, "The Administrative Council will not accept a proxy.'' After the motion was passed (Six to four with two abstentions), the assembly then moved and passed on a recommendation of Higdon's that there be co-chairmen, each with one vote, so that there would always be two representatives in attendence. Higdon called the system the "best of both worlds." The co-chairman would be selected by the body as a whole.
