ASG senator and social events VP resign Jeff Vize Staff Writer

Amidst controversy over the homecoming court application and inner conflict among the government, Associated Student Government members Kelly Lupro, vicepresident of social events, and Nathan Garcia, senator, announced their resignations last week. "I feel like ASG is doing more harm than help for the students and I don't want to be a part of that." saidLuproafterherwithdrawal was announced Oct 5. "I feel like my efforts will be better used elsewhere." Garcia, meanwhile, said heresigned for "personal reasons" and refused to comment further. His resignation is effective immediately. Lupro' s goes into effect Oct. 17. Lupro chaired the ASG's programming and publicity committee

that created controversy with this year's homecoming Court contest. Garcia also sat on the programming and r;::;N::;;a::;::th::;;:a;..;;n=G""'a""'rc""'i=a publicity committee. The original homecoming application asked contestants to specify from which "diverse group" they come from. Several suggestions dealing with ethnic background and physical handicap were listed, but applicants were also allowed to add their own. According to Lupro, this was designed to compliment the homecoming theme of "People of the World." Due to public disapproval from several students, as well as from ASG President Merril Tyler, the

committee reworked the application. The final draft was submitted Oct 3, with a portion of the new form inviting students to describe how their "participation will contribute to the theme of diversity." Answering the question is listed as optional. Lupro said that her resignation was necessary because of the continuing conflict within the ASG. "I feel like I'm having a constant fight upstream ... I have no support from the body," said Lupro. "I thought I was going to go in there and change things and really do some good. [Instead, theASGmembers} are still worried about personal agendas and private vendettas." According to Lupro, there is a lack of teamwork within the ASG because of these personal battles. This, she says, is the reason for ASG's shortfalls,
