East Asia studies club conducts first meeting JUSTIN BRODY staff writer On Wednesday, March 31st, the East Asia studies club held their first meeting. The organization’s charter states that the club’s primary purpose is “To provide a vehicle for inter-cultural forum based in East Asian Cultures and Languages.” The club was initiated by faculty members Meng-Hua Ye, Jing Li, Bruce Wilson, Henry Rosemont and student Kate Cheng. The meeting was called to introduce the campus to the club and elect officers. The election resulted in the appointment of Tariq Abdel-Monem as President; Kate Cheng as Vice President; Todd Gordon as Treasurer, and Nikki Vergara as Secretary. The votes were all unanimous.

Scott Zervitz will be a senior next semester, and is currently the SGA vice-president. Zervitz has attended St. Mary’s for three years, and has accomplished several goals. He was the President of the Jewish Organization known as Hillel, and was the President of P.G. Hall Council. “I want to improve the SGA. SGA “thenormalization of affairs with Vietnam.” He also expressed a hope that the club would be successful and continual, stating that “There is and there always will be Asian American students. I hope that this is still here ten years from now. As long as there’s an interest, this club should exist.” “People at the collegiate level tend to see East and West as opposite or complementary. I think that a better understanding of East Asian culture can help us understand ourselves,” commented Vice-President Kate Cheng. Secretary Nikki Vergara and club-member Essence Pierce discussed plans for the club, “The club is exited tohostavariety of activities scheduled for next Fall. Such activities will include a Chinese Moon Festival, a Karoake Sing-A-Long Night, a ping-pong tournament, a trip to a Chinese Museum in Washington, D.C., and speakers on East Asian culture” Scott Zervitz, candidate for SGA President, is running on the platform of SGA experience. should be ^student’s lobbying branch between the faculty and the administration. It should be the voice of the students.

Members of the Committee, which include College Vice President John Underwood, Director of Facilities Charles Jackson, Dean of Students Charlene H. Cole, Director of Student Activities Kenneth Holmes, and student Alison Haworth (’94), Katrina Overton (’95), and Tim Clarke (’95), met with students and administrators at Muhlenberg College Lafayette College. This last trip concludes the part of the process on gathering ideas from other institutions and learning about the process of developing a meaningful college Union. Now, the committee is hoping for some real student input from home. Part of the process of programming the use of the renovated Charles Hall includes utilizing the results of the Charles Hall Survey, completed by students, faculty and staff in March. In this case, the word programming is meant to say that the Committee is going to try and decide what types of rooms the College is looking to include, and how much space would be ideal for those rooms. Charles Hall is currently around twenty thousand square feet, and other unions the Committee saw were as much as three times the size of Charles Hall. The Survey will be key in helping determine the need of the College Community for the newbuilding. Most important were the services requested by both students and faculty. The most requested services included: *pub, game rooms, lounge areas, a Campus Store, *Post Office, ♦ATM Machine, staff lounge, a large multi-purpose room, * expanded snack bar, TV room, ““meeting spaces for See UNION, Page 2 out,” which would invite students to express their opinions for the first 20 minutes of the meeting. “I also want to create a whole unit, and lose the inside bickering. I want teamwork. I would like to fix the bad image of the SGA,”Zervitz declared.“I would also like to have SGA issue a paper on what we would be dealing with in the upcoming meetings.” These papers would be distributed around campus, according to Zervitz. This year Zervitz has been working with SGA and the administration concerning a new student union; within 12-18 months a blueprint should be drawn up for a new student union which wouldbecompletedin3-5 years. Zervitzwould like to continue his work with the administration next year. Zervitz feels that he knows a good deal of the campus, and that he can receive divergent points of view on certain topics. “Before voting on anything, I like to talk to the people that are involved in my decision before hand,”he explained. Zervitz already knows what he intends to accomplish immediately if he were to accept office, “To create a Health and Safety Committee which would be headed by two Queen Anne senators.” He explained that this committee would deal with any issue concerning either the healthcenter or public safety. Tim Clarke is the current President of TV-6 and another candidate for the office of SGA President. Clarke has spent four semesters at SMC, and will be a junior next semester. “I am the one who brought channel 20 to campus. The money used to get channel 20 was my money, money from TV-6.” Clarke is one of the driving forces for cable andreal television stations here at St. Mary’s. “I put together a petition to convince the administration that students at SMC are willing to spend money to pay for cable.” Clarke is currently on a committee to renovate Charles Hall in the near future (3-5 years) and a committee to improve the rec rooms in the dormitories. Clarke plans onremaining active in these sort of activities if elected to the position of SGA President “There are many senatorial refoims[I would like to make]. A senator would have to have at least two resolutions a semester [concerning something relevant to SMC.] The senators would be asked to talk to five of theirconstituents and get their input [on a specific issue] and then write that down. They would then bring their constituent’s ideas to the meetings.” There would be an addition in the number of “counsel’s” with Clarice being elected, because he has many ideas on important group meetings. “I would create apresident counsel. This is a counsel of all current club presidents to discuss their leadership skills, have mutual problem solving, share Tim Clarke, another candidate, is relying on the successful development of his campus entertainment programs to bring in the votes. information, and to get clubs to join in on the activities offered by other clubs.” In addition to the President’s Counsel would come the First Year Counsel. This group is ,” a counsel of 8-12 first year SMC students to work with upper class SGA executives, in order to work them into the system.” This counsel would train the first year students, and give them SGA experience to build upon for their futures. The members of this group would be selected through an application process. One concern of Clarke’s is that, “students need focus. SGA should be afocus for students to promote student input, student concerns, and to allow students to officially work with the administration on key issues, such as cable, parking, etc..” See SGA, Page 2 INSIDE A super-special news-extra: Townhouse and Science BuildingConstruction Update Don’t be a Butthead!
