A reading of the impeachment resolution against President Adam Gold may come up at the Government of the Student Body meeting tonight.

An official resolution was written last night at a meeting that included Mike Poggee, the senator bringing impeachment charges; the chair and vice chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee; and Jamey Hansen, vice chairman of the Senate.

And while some senators are concentrating on ousting their chief, the Big Eight Conference on Black Student Government funding controversy is apparently dead. Senator Mark Nimmer, off campus, has dropped his proposal calling for profits from the February conference to be returned to GSB. The Senate has allocated $5,000 to help fund the conference.

“I want this to be over. There’s too much going on right now,” Nimmer said. “I decided to drop it because too much time has gone by…I’m looking to the future now.”

Nimmer didn’t site specific reasons, but his decision to drop the much-criticized proposal comes in the wake of Friday’s racial assault on a black student security officer.

A new bill is calling on the Department of Public Safety to better enforce its policy against bikers and skateboarders traversing Iowa State’s sidewalks.

“What I’d like is for greater enforcement of the bike and skateboard safety rules. One thing they’ve talked about is no bikes on sidewalks and stairs,” said Sen. Robin Chattopadhyay, UDA.

Chattopadhyay said he realizes DPS cannot be everywhere at once, but he does think officials can improve enforcement.

“There are realities here that one has to deal with, but we are fed up with having to dive out of the way of bikers or skateboarders,” Chattopadhyay said. “I’m not asking them to hit the pavement ticketing every bike they see, just try to enforce rules better.”

* Senators will also debate a bill to provide one third of the $15,000 to $30,000 required to move the statue of Jack Trice. The funding would come from the special projects fund.
