Due to election results,
current CSG to meet again
91
Assembly discusses
resolutions on
funding, water
bottles
By GIACOMO BOLOGNA
Daily Staff reporter
The Central Student Govern-
ment assembly held what was
supposed to be the last meeting
of its term, but election compli-
cations have forced the body to
hold another meetingnext week.
Difficulties in approving some
representative elections and the
current appeals being heard by
the Central Student Judiciary
have delayed the certification of
the elections, meaning the new
assembly won't take its seats
for at least another week. Mem-
bers of the University Elections
Commission attended the meet-
ing and addressed the assembly,
stressing the need for election-
code reform and explaining that
the results were not yet certified.
LSA senior Brendan Camp-
bell, the CSG vice president,
said that under the compiled
code the UEC was supposed to
certify the results at yesterday's
meeting, but the rules were sus-
pended indefinitely.
"Today, the assembly decided
to suspend these rules because
of the lingering concerns and
the high number of exception
ballots and the high number of
close races," Campbell said.
Campbell added that the
president and vice president will
be sworn in 10 days after the
UEC certifies the election, and
the new representatives will be
seated at the following assembly
meeting.
During the meeting, 13 reso-
lutions were discussed. Busi-
ness senior Matt Eral, speaker
of the assembly, said it was the
"most business-heavy week all
semester."
CSG President DeAndree
Watson said he anticipated a
long night, but was pleased by
the body's efficiency.
"I expected it to be really
long. I didn't expect it to end
before midnight," Watson said.
"I'm really impressed."
Eral said the surprisingly
expedient meeting could be due
to the newly-instated temporary
operating procedures. Over its
past three meetings, the assem-
bly has suspended its traditional
rules and has been using the
guidelines from a resolution to
alter the assembly's regulatory
procedures.
Eral added that using the
resolution's guidelines with-
out passing them has given the
assembly the opportunity to fig-
ure out the most efficient struc-
ture.
"This is tabled week to week
because ... if we're going to do
this, let's do it right," Eral said.
"We like the new rules, we want
to operate under them now, but
we ivant to make sure we've
flushed out everything."
A resolution regarding the
Student Organization Fund-
ing Commission passed unani-
mously, with two abstentions,
after weeks of debate. Eral said
the purpose of the resolution,
which was originally introduced
on Feb. 14, "solidified the rolling
funding process."
In the past, the assembly has
approved SOFC'sbudgetretroac-
tively, butnowSOFC will present
a report each week for approval.
This system will allow for more
legislative oversight and still
maintain SOFC's ability to dis-
tribute funding efficiently.
"SOFC does incredible and
everyone on the assembly rec-
ognizes that," Eral said. "We
just put what SOFC does in
the (compiled code) with a few
additional provisos ... it ended
up being a great product that
the assembly liked."
One passed resolution allo-
cates $6,000 to the University
to purchase reusable water bot-
tles for all incoming freshmen.
Barbara Hagan, an adminis-
trator in the Office of Campus
Sustainability, attended the
meeting to speak in support
of the resolution. Hagan said
6,500 freshmen will receive
reusable water bottles for a total
cost of $39,000.
"A lot of students when they
move in buy cases of bottled
water ... bottled water isn't good
for the environment," Hagan
said. "We're trying to send the
right message to our incoming
freshmen that sustainability is
important at Michigan."
Hagan added that it's a two-
part plan that coincides with
the recent addition of water
bottle refill stations across cam-
pus.
"We thought it was impor-
tant to get the infrastructure in
place so (students don't) have to
go across campus to find a water
refill station," Hagan said.
Campbell, who penned the
resolution, said it was part of
an "important, new sustainabil-
ity push by the Central Student
Government."
"By helping provide reusable
water bottles to all incoming
freshmen, we hope that we'll be
able to significantly improve the
way that students at the Univer-
sity consume water," Campbell
said.
Despite the 10 resolutions
ready for voting this week,
only five were passed and the
remaining five were tabled.
Nonetheless, Eral said this was
no reason for concern.
"Justbecause it's old business
doesn't mean we're not going to
vote on it," Eral said. "Some-
times we need more time."
