ASUCD Senate Renounces Sex, Approves Up to Third Base

[aggienaut]

Yesterday (Thursday) III
   Yesterday I had the misfortune of having to sit through four hours of the ASUCD Senate meeting. This was because I had to make the Quarterly Court Report, and the presiding parliamentarian, Vice President Paloma Perez and her boyfriend the Senate President Pro Tempore Chris Goran loathe me and manipulated the agenda so what ordinarily would be one of the first items on the agenda, "reports," didn't occur until four hours into the meeting.
   Perez also showed us her parliamentary skillz by speaking on substansive matters during a time when only senators, ie not her could speak, and after Senator Adam Barr called her on it, claiming she did somehow have that right.

   One major topic covered during the time I was there was whether or not ASUCD "promotes sex." Its true.
   A resolution under consideration contained the line "...while ASUCD does not promote sex..." (qualifying an endorsement of sex education for incoming freshmen) to which Senator Barr responded "I dunno about the rest of you, but I promote sex." Another senator pointed out that in order to claim that ASUCD officially doesn't support sex they'd have to have a resolution on the subject and vote on it. Eventually they concluded that ASUCD supports up to third base.
   No not really about the third base thing.

   Another major topic covered was whether or not a resolution supporting state legislation to prevent professors from indoctrinating students by requiring them to present both sides of ideological questions was inherently demeaning to students by the implication that students opinions are so easily swayed.

Actually, the word was "promote", not "support"... there's a difference between whether ASUCD supports sex or promotes sex.

The most amusing part of the leg was when, every time I left my seat, Senator Cohen-Cutler would leave a sign on my placard that said "Sex?! Yes, please!" At least he managed to keep me amused until almost midnight.
