P P aUle es Ilvestluat II IntI Cllst JOKIRST jo@tberangernews.com IV, section C of last year's constitution is constitutional. Tripp found the section to be constitutional, however it is unethical in the sense that it allows one person unlimited power. The section in question reads: As of late, there has been much talk about the Parkside Student Government Association andtheir constitutions. Currently; thereare three constitutions being discussed in PSGA. The first constitution was the one that last Year'sPSGA members operated under. The second constitution Wasto be voted on by the student bodyin the last election, and the third constitution is a proposed constitution which PSGA IS Currently operating under. It was planned to replace the constitution fromthe last school year. , On Wednesday, Oct 22, a dIscussion began at PSGA's general assembly meeting about what constitution is the correct one to be operating under. Lawrence Tripp, the former Chief lustice(and now Parliamentarian) ofPSGA, began an investigation II1to what constitution PSGA should be operating under, and Whether or not Article V, Section "Section IV. All Justices C. Must meet witltin 5 school days after receiving a complaint from any student. or PSGA member. The decisions made by the Judicial branch shall be binding on all parties involved and shall be forwarded to the designated disciPlinary head of UW-Parkside or the appropriate authorities for implementation." This section basically allows lbe Chief Justice to change anything he'd like, and the rest of PSGA would have to go along with it. Tripp determined that this was not in the best interest of the student body, and changed it in the proposed constitution so that there is not a potential abuse of power. After Tripp's investigation, an ad hoc committee was formed to further investigate Tripp's decision. The investigation is researching complaints about this issue. They are also investigating tbe validity of Tripp's decision, whetber or not the constitution was correct, and whether or not the proposed constitution is in the best interest of the student body. The inconsistencies in last year's constitution, and the validity of spring's election are included in this investigation as well. The validity of spring's election comes into question because it is not known if students were given a copy of the "new" constitution to look over and vote on, or if a copy of the "old" (but current at the time) constitution was available for students. Therefore, at the time of this writing, the ad hoc committee has determined that the constitution that was to be voted on (and passed by the students, 347 votes for to 57 votes against) was not an operational constitution. It was ''We~ve got issues" not passed by both the Senate and the student body, and thus at the beginning of this school year, PSGA was operating under the same constitution they operated under last school year. At the time of this writing, this is the on!y conclusion the ad hoc committee has come to. The rest of the issues in question are still being investigated. If it is determined that Tripp made a poor decision or acted outside of his powers. the Senate can choose to disagree or agree with his decision, and take further action based on their conclusion. Problems with PSGA and rheir constitutions date back to the earliest days of the organization's existence, and there have always been questions of ethics and corruption. As the years went on. this grew into a snowball effect because there was a lack of accountability and a lot of apathy towards these problems. Until now. no administration has taken such drastic measures to correct the problems within the lIS organization. Apathy is not just a problem within PSGA, however, it extends to the student body a a whole. Now that Ted Ruffalo's administration has stepped in, they are working hard to eliminate apathy and corruption in the organization. They are also working to fix the loopholes and inconsistencies in theconstitutlon, and create a constitution that is clear, concise, easily changeable. and has longevity to it. Claims that meetings were held over summer break are true, however, the meetings were not conspiratorial, Further claims that Ruffalo's administration are out to get the students and further their own agenda are unsubstantiated. The PSGA officers are working hard to fix what's broken in our organization. 2 / October 28, 20"08 ~ - 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 Ads: uwp_ods@yahoo.com E-mail: rangernews@gmall.com ditor in Chief Jo Kirst jo@therangernews.com neutlve Editor Mollie Egan mollie®therongernews.com ellgn Monoger Ruth Briones ruth@lherongernews.com orlceting Director Zak Imith zok@therangernews.com dvertillng Monoger Gia Gutierrez gio@therongernews.com Mallie Egan mollie@therangernews.(om & Culture Editor Josh Diefenba\h diefeDOO@uwp.edu taft Reporten Cady Holden ydO(nedloh@yo~oa.<om Rob Ho,,~n hanse082@uwp .•du Georg.
