MEDICAL ADVISOR

VELA NURSES ASG

By Richard Medugno Advisor (ad-vi'sor) n. 1. one who gives advice or an opinion to another person or group; a counselor 2. one who recommends a course of action 3. one who notifies or informs. Nowhere in that definition of advisor is there a mention of one who nurses people, but that doesn't stop Noelia Vela, advisor of the Associated Student Government, from being the Flo Nightingale of Palomar College politics.

San Marcos, CA

the apathy victim alive has been a success. However, her next goal of revitalizing it will be a much more arduous and time-consuming task. "It (the ASG) took a long time to hit bottom last semester and it's going to take a while to get it going again," states Vela. She doesn't feel that there was "any one reason" for the demise of the government, but is quick to say the rebuilding of the government is "not impossible." The two major complications that Vela's patient, the ASG, was in presently face Vela are (1) getting critical condition last semester · sincere, qualified students inwhen she took over the advisory terested enough to run for office position. Fortunately, with the help (new blood) and (2) getting the of a little mouth-to-mouth resusci- students to become involved in the tation the student government sur- elections and vote. (At the last ASG vived and its condition is now semi- elections only 152 students voted or stable. about 1% of the student body.) Nurse Vela's first job of keeping Again Vela stresses the importance of time, "It's going to take some time to change the voting patterns. This type of voting is not unusual for a mobile campus. It goes along with nature." Once the ASG nurse has the patient up and out of the election bed, she has to get it running on the treadmill. Vela thinks there might be some paperwork in the way of this run· ning. That paperwork, the four year· old constitution, is not "workable." The ASG is now studying it hoping to revise it. "We hope to incorporate the old constitution into the new one," she says. In other words " ... the skeleton will be the same." "Better representation" is the slogan going around in the almost quarantined offices of the student government. Vela hopes to make it a · reality. If the ASG can get back on its feet and start moving with ease by keeping active and exerc1smg regularly, Palomar College may once again have a healthy student representative body and Noelia Vela NOELIA VELA might win a Nobel Prize for Political Science and Medicine.
