In the closing minutes of a marathon last day, House Bill 27, sponsored by Rep. Hugh Rush, Lake, appeared to finally be headed for a vote on the Senate floor. After being moved out of the Senate Rules Committee earlier in the day-whit 16-sat had since Jan. 27 was put on the debate calendar. However, when it came time for HB 27 to be debated, Sen. Dix McMullin, Lake, motioned that the bill be circled. When a bill is circled, debate on the measure is temporarily stalled and legislators move on to the next item on the agenda. A voice vote was taken on McMullin's motion. President of the Senate Arnold Christensen, Lake, called the vote, saying the motion was defeated. A division was then asked for, meaning that senators had to stand up and be numbered so an exact count could be figured. This prompted Sen. Frances Farley, Lake, a the and of measure instrumental in strong proponent Rules moved out of the Committee, to getting it exclaim, "Why would you want to do that?" ine ui vision snowea io senators in iavor oi circling the bill, just enough for a majority in the.29-membSenate.'

However, the senseless immolation of this campaign poster is an act of infamy that will burn in the hearts of University of Utah once-beautif- ul students for many minutes. On Tuesday night or Wednesday morning a band of - hooligans, or a single malcontent, set flame to . Assembly candidate Lisa Fife's proud symbol of the U.'s democratic process. Perhaps it was a statement of dissatisfaction with the outcome of the primaries. Perhaps some horribly twisted, hopelessly alienated individual did it as a plea for attention. Then again, perhaps some dateless dweeb had nothing better to do. alt er 41-2- one faculty representative to the institutional councils at the state's nine colleges and universities.

Assembly OKs day care, international sty client fund By Scott Stone Chronicle ASUU reporter ... , Two proposals from the ASUU Special Projects Committee, one to help establish a day-car- e facility and another to create an emergency, fund for international students, cleared the final hurdle and received approval from the ASUU Assembly Wednesday night. The $20,000 allocated to the ASUU Child Care Account, $17,000 from Special Projects and $2,200 from the Evening Discoveries Program, will be used to costs of finding 'a location for help with the start-u- p the center and to arrange matching funds from outside organizations or individuals. After a month of debate and a reduction from $25,000 to the present $17,000, international students on campus will now have a place to turn when confronted by a financial crisis. In the past these students would have been turned away or helped on a minimal basis with limited funds from the International Center. At the beginning of the meeting, reinstated ASUU Chief Lobbyist Paul Kafer spoke to the Assembly and encouraged Assembly members to gather after the meeting at the Capitol to show their support for the University of Utah and the students they represent. Kafer told the members their support could make a "tremendous amount of difference" and would be noticed by state legislators. Other action taken by the Assembly included the postponement of debate on a proposal from the Public Affairs Board to include a provision in the ASUU Redbook to allow the option of hiring professional services. It was postponed and sent back to the Executive' Committee because delegates had several questions on whether public funds could be used for a political purpose. Mike Zouras, who represented the Public Affairs Board, said the change would enable the board to hire a professional lobbyist to represent U. students. He d added a professional lobbyist could lend some effort that consistency to a student lobbying from to changes year year. much-neede- Reinsta ted A S UU Chief Lobbyist Paul Kafer spoke to the Assembly and encouraged Assembly members to gather after the meeting at the Capitol to show their support for the University of Utah and the , students they represent.
