Show THE CAMPUS ~ THE UNIVERSITY J0URNAL • SOUTHERN UTAH UNIVERSITY • FRIDAY; MAY 15, 1998 Huntsman urges· integrity By G LENN HALTERMAN SEN10 R STAFF WRITER Utah businessm an and phil anthropist Jon M. Huntsman emp hasized the importance of a n honest character during h is Convocation address yesterday in the Cen t rum. '' As a boy growing up I had one desire: to be honest," said Huntsman, who grew up in Fillmore, Utah, and related to Convogoers his relatively meager circumstances as a youngste r. "We all start at the same place," he said. "Most of us are flat broke ." What Huntsman said he cud have going for hjm w ere great parents, a can-do attitude, and an honest character. "We can never achieve one thing in this life unless we put into our lives this matter of integrity," he said. Huntsman also said that though college s tudents may forget the grades they receive in their courses in later years, students will ne,v er forget w hat k ind of person they have become and the k ind of character they have developed. "Someway, somehow in life what yo u decided to do with your character will determine what.you do in this life," he said. Huntsman told of a boy h e befriended while in high school who had had his face burned, and w ho found himself isola ted from other students . " The greatest blessing I had in those early years was to have someone to focus on," he said. "The most important thing I learned in hjgh school is how important it is to be respected and how unimportant it is to be popular," Huntsman said. " Always give your employer more than he bargained for," Huntsman said, s haring his motto for work. "You always give back more than you're getting," he said. " Being able to be positive and to see the glass half-ful l is the nicest attribute a person can have," said H untsm an, speaking of the importance of attitude. H u ntsman ended by sayi ng that if he ever w rote a book it would contain just one page and only one sentence, which would be: " Lucky, lucky me." Judicial Collncil 1s tcirgeted (continued from page 3) council spending this year. "I do have a problem with the two and-a -half cents based on the FTE numbers.. .! would feel a lot more comfortable if they (the Judipial C oun cil) would simply present a budget to m e outlining their needs." Asked if he felt the council had spent its $500 budget wisely Allen replied, "No, I do not." Responcting to Allen's comments and the senate action, the council released a writ of mandamus late Wednesday afternoon declaring t he SUUSA senate's " budgeting proposal s as voted o n May 12, 1998, unconstitutional. This planning to spend that money on supplies later: this year." Larson said, " It is no diffe r:ent fro m any of the other branches of govemment who go out for pizza and on retreats." Wilkes also commented on the trip, noting, "The director of student act iv ities was fully aware of this and in fact had been planning on going with us until the last m om e nt whe n he had t o cancel." Director of Student Activities Alex H erzog defended the trip, saying, "The cost was only abou t $ 75 and I believe· in team building events like this. Golf is a sport and they (judicial council) needed a little time out of the office to writ does hereby declare said legislation as null do this." Herzog later distanced himself from and void u ntil such time as it clearly establishes a constitutionally fair and equitable budget for Judicial Council under agency or other clearly specified provisions." Associate justices concurring on the writ were Andrew Larson, Chris Barker, Robert Wilkes, and Stephanie Kukic. There were no dissenting justices, however Chief Justice Jessica Christopher was not presen t for the ctiscussion and as of late Wednesday reportedly unaware of the writ. Asked abou t the chief justice's absence, Larson reported, " We have not had contact with her for about a week and a half.. .shc is supposedly out of cown and we have not seen or heard from her despite attempts to contact he r. " ln response to Adam s' comments regarding the golfing trip taken earlier this year on the judicial cou ncil budget provided, Larson said the cost of the trip was approxim ately $ 75. Asked whether the remaining $425 was still in the budget, Lar son said " Yes, bu t we are the surrounding controversy, saying, "This is really student fees ... the students decided this and they need to be deciding things like this." After what was apparently a impromptu meeting of severa l m embe rs of the judicial council .rnd Allen WedJ1esday afternoon, Allen reported a compromise had been reached on the situation saying, " [ have decided to issue an executive order specifying "the studen t body president next year and each year gives a budget to the judicial council based on their proposed need for the money." Allen furth~r noted several stipulations of the agreement including a requirement that the judicial council m eet on a regular basis to be arranged by the C hief Justice. The compromise was accepted by Wilkes and Larson who said the new agreement dissolved t he question of constitutionality and t hat senate should be expected to be back on track.
