HOC' EWSWN PMIL MSlSON'l BCPWOfJUCIiON the school of Business, asked what the procedure would be for the assemblyman if their committee didn't function as it should. Jon Bingham, academic vice president and chairman of the assembly, explained that a faculty document made up last year stated that if the student committee doesn't act, the faculty will take over the tenure process. He also explained that the assembly's work was written as a resolution instead of an amendment to that document because those who had worked on that document for a year would have "qualms" about the assembly "popping in with a change." Bingham said that by passing it as an 'intent' procedures would be followed and by putting it with the document, it would have more support. In other matters, Young was appointed to look into the possibility of the assembly buying sweaters to identify them as assemblymen. The question of cost was brought up and Young said he looked into several types of sweaters, considering price. They money would come out of the assemblyman's own pockets. Bingham announced to those present that Mel Hampton, assemblyman from the school of Humanities, was considering resigning because he had too "heavy a load" with school, a job and other pressing responsibilities.Young asked about filling the vacancy if Hampton resigned. Bingham said that the assembly should wait to see if Hampton resigns before acting on that. Rick Gallegos, assemblyman from the school of Technology, asked about a public relations drive for the assembly. Bingham stated that they could begin anytime but that the assembly would have to "take the ball and roll it." Cathey Corey, assemblyman from the school of Allied Health, suggested that they make posters concerning the area assemblies. Bingham said it was a good idea and that they should all get together some afternoon or evening to make them. He said he didn't want the P.R. campaign to beextravagent. 1 1.J 1 VI IKE M ONSON YOUR AN FOR WEBER COUNTY ASSESSOR Vot Democratic Paid by Crtir.n, for Mornon, W.ndy W.st, ,cy.
