House Bill 27 sponsored by Rep. Hugh Rush, Lake, would add the president of the Academic Senate and a staff representative to the Institutional Council at Utah's colleges and universitiesAlthough the bill passed 6 in the House, Rush predicted a tough fight in the Senate. Opponents only need 15 votes in the Senate to defeat the bill, Rush explained. Administrators and education officials, who oppose the measure, will most likely be able to gather the needed votes, he predicted. The bill, slated to go to the Senate Rules' Committee sometime this week, will be voted on by the full Senate within seven to 10 days.

The court reviewed Article IV, section 1 of the consti tution which states the president has the expressed power "to rescind executive board chair appointments without Assembly approval," Heinhold contended Kaly's constitutional authority to fire cabinet members is limited to board chairs and the executive cabinet members he has appointed, not board members. Kaly responded by saying as the ASUU president, he has the expressed constitutional authority to rescind appointed executive board chairs. He believes this authority extends to all other appointed members of the ASUU cabinet. see "Heinhold" on page four U.'s not best grazing for deer; 7 carcasses found Tuesday By Christian Aggeler Chronicle staff writer A rash of automobile-dee- r collisions on the University of Utah campus this winter has left II. police with the unen-- . viable task of picking up seven of the dead animals Tuesday afternoon. The number of carcasses was particu- larly disturbing in view of U. Police Chief Wayne Shepherd's estimate that "an average of two" are killed on campus ' every year. Shepherd was not sure of the exact cause of the dramatic increase, but susabove-averag- e pected forced the n .. ' . Chronicle pholo bv Uuy b. bldor On average, two deer a year are found dead on the University of Utah campus. However, recent snowfalls have driven deer down to the campus level, increasing the number of accidents between the animals and cars. Seven dead deer were found at the U. Tuesday. snowfall has deer out of their normal winter grazing grounds. None of the collisions, although fatal for the deer, have resulted in serious automobile accidents up to this point, Shepherd added. "If you (as a driver) see deer on the road, you should really slow down," bnepnera cautioned. They (the deer) can move fast and sometimes they will jump out in front of you." The job of cleaning up after the accidents is shared between the police department and Animal Services. The carcasses are turned over to the division of Wildlife Resources and then dumped in a sanitary landfill. With no real solution in sight, Shepherd and his forces have taken it upon themselves to help stem the tide of carnage. Police officers often patrol campus thoroughfares in the early morning hours and chase deer away. Even these efforts are not guaranteed, though, as police officers often have other duties that take them away from deer chasing. With such a bleak situation at hand, the only real solution looks to be months away, with the spring thaw. Org, U.S. Postage Paid Non-prof- it Permit No. 1529 Salt Lake City, UT |
