Several resolutions in response to violence in Campustown early Sunday will be discussed Wednesday by the Government of the Student Body.

William Rock, vice president of GSB, said there will be three resolutions brought up at the meeting pertaining to the riot, which lasted on Welch Avenue and Lincoln Way for about five hours.

The first resolution states the riot should not reflect on Veishea and that GSB is in support of continuing the celebration.

“We want to work with the university so Veishea can be continued in a safer manner and still maintain having fun,” said Shawn Montague, speaker of the senate.

The second resolution will support calling for investigations to determine whether rioting was provoked by law enforcement, Montague said.

Montague said the investigations will work with six groups that are involved in the situation, including the Veishea committee, Ames Police Department, the ISU Department of Public Safety, Iowa State, the city of Ames and GSB.

The last resolution will be in support of an apology to the city of Ames for the actions of a few individuals.

GSB officials regret what happened and do not support vandalism to the city or some individuals’ actions, Montague said.

The meeting won’t involve any legislative action regarding the riot, but GSB officials consider the resolutions a step toward finding out what happened.

“Finding out what caused this is the first step,” Montague said.

GSB is currently determining the best way to provide students with a means for communication of opinions about the situation early Sunday.

“Our effort is to respond to every student view on campus,” said Sophia Magill, GSB president.

In other business, a resolution asking the Ames City Council not to enact ordinances in the summer that will affect students will be discussed.

The resolution was brought forward because ordinances affecting students have been discussed and passed over the summer in recent years, a time when most students aren’t in Ames. An example is the couch ordinance, which was passed during the summer of 2003.

The ordinance made it illegal for all residents of a property to place household appliances or furniture in a yard, deck or porch.

Andrew Tugan, Ames City Council ex-officio member, said he supported the idea of the resolution, but understands the obligation council members have to the community.

It would be preferable if issues were brought to the City Council when students were present and could have a voice in the decision-making process, Tugan said.

However, asking the City Council to stop doing its job because a minority of Ames’ residents are not in town might not be reasonable, he said.
