campus demanding that the response to this was, I_

Sd Vice President in which Mr. Webster about that*«
John Page and lisa Loetzbeier
respectively supposedly won,
be declared void.
The petition, submitted.
by Craig Meyers, Royce McMahon,
Joe Zenuter, and Elliot Gross
men, with copies sent to the
fiegistering committee of the
SGA and the Highacres Collegian,
asked "that the RHC election
of November 11 be declared
illegal, null, and unofficial."
Grossman explained the reason
ing behind this, "the RHC con
stitution states that the Vice
President should preside over
all RHC elections. Kevin Adams
did not preside over the RHC
election."
"More importantly the RHC
election should never have been
held in the first place, Gross
man continued, "the constitution
states that the position of Vice
Presidency &L&Il-.be refilled
by appointment by the President
and approved by the Council."
Arthur Boyce, RHC advisor,
said that there were some things
wrong with the way the election
was run. "I sat down and did
alot of thinking about it,"
Boyce said, "there was no bal
lot box." Boyce also admitted
that the Vice President did not
preside over the election but
"there was no Vice President
to preside,"

Edit oral Opinion 2
Larry Benner, an RHC floor
governor, the only HHC member
to present any personal views
at length on the matter, ask
ed the students why they should
be so concerned with technical
ities. Grossman answered,
"What's the use of having a con
stitution if you're not going
to use it?"
Dennen, Boyce, and Gross
man along with other HHC mem
bers agreed that the HHC con
stitution is very vague and
has many loophloes. Boyce,
who as Advisor to RHC is
supposed to advise the Council
rather than run it, ( according
to PSU policies and rules) pro
mised that a committeeio revise
and amend t.the constitution
will be formed with HHC members,
Grossman and other interested
students on it.
Boyce thetfasked RHC Pres
ident, John Page, to appoint
a Vice President. Page de
clined, saying, "I'll have to
think about it."
At a Highacres Student,
Government Association meetihg
held the following day, Page
asked that the Registering
committee of the SGA take no
immediate action on the students
lemands in the petition. Page
said that if the Registering
sommittee is not satisfied
fith the.action that the RHC
;akes by the end of winter
erm, the committee should
;hen step in and take action.
