Show Tr' T Westminster College's Student Newspaper Since 1938 NOVEMBER WWW.FORUMFORTNIGHTLY.COM VOLUME XLW ISSUE 7 14, 2012 Voice Ian Coppock Managing Editor hortly after the ASWC senate voted to retain him, student body president Nick Raoux was removed from office by a judicial now-form- er panel led by the dean of students. The timing of the removal raised questions about student representation on campus. Mark Feme made an example of me, said Raoux. He sent a message that our student senate is worthless. Why have a representative body if our decisions are going to be overturned? Raoux argued that students should have more say on campus because we the students are not just consumers; we are this institution. We are what drives this campus and thus we should I have a greater say in what hap- I pens. Raoux also suggested that there should be a student on the Board of Trustees, the colleges uppermost group of administrators. The fact that we dont have a vote on that body he said. is offensive, See ASWC onpg. 4 Dean ofStudents Mark Feme explains to senators the process of assesing Code of Conduct violations at the Nov. 5 Senate meeting. Riding ffieZamboni of success Holly King Staff Reporter The Westminster Hockey Club is a perfect example of student-run success. Approaching their one-ye- ar anniversary, the club has more than doubled in participation, increased their funding, and given many students a chance to get involved with something Westminster did not previously offer. This time last November, we had nowhere to play hockey, and no one would take us. So we decided to try and start a dub, said Jake Boudreau, dub founder and current president. Hockey Club became an official dub and began receiving funding from ASWC last February. We got our constitution written up and had about 8 or 9 guys, said Boudreau. Boudreau reached out to students on campus, encouraging anyone with interest to come and play. One of those students was Riley Sheldon, current dub dee president. Shddon was also playing on another community-sponsore- d, adult league. Those are mens league teams, meaning that a lot of the guys Im playing with are older than my dad. Im the youngest player by far. The thing I appredate about this team is that it s a team of my peers. Its nice to be surrounded by people your own age with similar goals and interests as you, said Sheldon. The dub advisor, Sara Beaudry, has also been a driving force in dub expansion.
