Questions were raised about the recent parliamentary appointment of president and vice president at the last Inter-Residence Hall Association meeting. Larch Hall representative Josh Hale said Thursday night that the process happened in a “roundabout way,” and some people voted on the parliamentary appointment who shouldn’t have at the first IRHA meeting. “The at-larges hadn’t been seated yet, and one of them voted,” said Hale, junior in computer engineering. At the time, IRHA Vice President Steve Skutnik was the Richardson Court Association at-large and had voted to approve the procedure to elect the new president and vice president. The Towers Residence Association and Union Drive Association at-larges were not present at the Aug. 31 meeting. UDA President Rick Cordaro said their decision was correct, and they had followed Roberts rules correctly and efficiently. “We consulted a lot of people, and the decision was made that a special election would have delayed time,” he said. Hale said he was concerned that he never got the chance to talk to the people in Larch Hall about who they wanted him to vote for since the candidates were not announced until the day of the appointment. “I didn’t have time to talk to my constituents,” Hale said. Cordaro responded to Hale’s concerns. “I felt like I didn’t need to consult our constituents; I don’t think that they cared,” he said. After the meeting, IRHA President Paul Duncan said he was glad that opposing views had been expressed during the meeting, but he said he supported the way the appointment was handled. “The election was a special election with special rules,” he said. “It was done in the most effective and efficient way possible.” Also at the meeting, former RCA Treasurer Kristy Stallmann was elected unanimously to become the new IRHA finance director. TRA President Jonathon Weaver questioned Stallman’s appointment process since he hadn’t seen any applications for the finance director position, and Duncan said it was done by personal appointment. “I could appoint someone, and I wanted to get the show on the road,” Duncan said. “She wanted the job.” Also, Knapp Hall representative Tim Steines nominated himself and was appointed by parliament to the Committee on Lectures as the IRHA representative. “He will help look for people to give lectures on campus that he believes would interest students in the residence halls,” Duncan said. Duncan also said IRHA is looking for a director of academic affairs. The director of academic affairs oversees the Order of Rose and Chessman applications and the “Of the Year” Awards. The “Of the Year Awards” recognize outstanding floors, residential assistants and students at the end of the year. Order of Rose and Chessman is an honor society for residence hall members. Anyone interested in becoming director of academic affairs needs a GPA of at least 2.25 and experience with student government, Duncan said. An application for IRHA director of academic affairs is currently available on the IRHA Web site. It is due at 5 p.m. Friday in the IRHA office in 2415 Friley.
