PSG to discuss fences

Purdue Student Government will hold its final senate
meeting of the semester at 7 tonight in Stewart Center 214ABC, and the
senators will discuss resolutions condemning the possible building of
fences around the fountains.
Maarten Rothman, a PSG senator, said there are
currently three resolutions drafted but all of the authors of the resolutions
will write a single draft before the meeting.
"This is probably the most important thing at this
moment," he said.
He said he hopes everyone in PSG is in support
of the resolution and would vote to pass it unanimously.
Rothman also said that an announcement will be
made concerning possible impeachment procedures for student court chief
justice Heather Higgins.
The senators will also vote on the budgets for
trips to two conferences to be held at Penn State University and Fitchburg
State University in Fitchburg, Mass.
Under the proposed budget, five members of PSG
would go to the Association of Big Ten Students conference at Penn State.
Each year three Big Ten schools host a conference either during the
fall semester, spring semester or the summer.
De Anna Shonk, a PSG representative, said the conferences
allow the various student governments to get ideas from other Big Ten
schools on how to handle issues pertinent to college students.
She said if the budget for the conference at Fitchburg
State University passes, it would be the first time PSG would go to
the conference.
"It'll give us a different perspective of how other
universities outside the Big Ten run their student governments," she
said. "I think this conference might be beneficial to us to see some
new ideas."
The senators will also vote on two other resolutions
at the meeting, both of which commend the women's basketball team on
its accomplishments during the season.
