Last night's firstsummer Michigan
Student Assembly meeting ended
quickly after the student govenment
failed to meet a required quorum of
members. The assembly tabled all pro-
posed resolutions.

quorum.
MSA President Ede Fox said she
has not been on MSA during the sum-
mer and that she is unsure if the assem-
bly will have enough representatives
present at any summer meetings to ac-
tually pass anything new.
"I was just planning to use the sum-
mer to learn how MSA works and plan
things for the upcoming year," Fox
said. "Thebiggest thingrightnowisthe

LSA Rep. Todd Ochoa wanted to
introduce a resolution to condemn the
verdict which acquitted the Los Ange-
les police officers in the Rodney King
case. In addition, the resolution called
for new investigations into all alleged
case of harassment and brutality by
University police.
Ochoa also submitted a resolution
to create a task force for investigating
the teargassing of students. "We need
to pass this because organizing this task
force would say the student investiga-
tion has MSA sanction and wouldmake
it easier to get information," Ochoa
said. "Passing theresolution wouldalso
allow Student Legal Services to help
out with the task force."
The assembly also tabled Ochoa's
resolution that MSA members pledge

Communication Center to protest a 13
percent tuition increase.
