Penry Vetoes Raise• Mike Wiggins Editor-In-Chief

Wednesday Volume 64 April 22, 1998 Number27 Penry vetoes raise• Mike Wiggins Editor-in-Chief

Nearly a week after the Associated Student Govern ment engaged in heated de bate over the salaries of its ex ecutive branch, ASG President Josh Penry vetoed Tuesday the Constitution and Bylaw Rec onciliation Act; a bill which included an outline of the com pensation for all paid ASG members. In a memo to the general assembly, Penry said although a majority of the bylaws were passed in the best interests of MSC students, he thinks the section of the bill dealing with compensation necessitated that the entire enactment be negated. The reason for the veto, according to Penry, is be cause ASG salary expenditures would have increased almost $7,000 next year. The new ASG constitu tion, passed by the student body earlier this month, called for the creation of several new paid positions within the ASG, including the directors of ex Student government candidates establish ternal affairs and finance, the senate leader, and the chief jus election platforms, explain caIDpaign issues tice and justices.

CMA (Country Music Award)Vocal Group of the Year and Grammy Award win ning group is making its way back to country music. After producing several country music hits like What a Crying Shame, and Music for All Occasions, which featured the grammy award winning lead off single "Here Comes the Rain" and the jaunty Top 10 hit" All You Ever Do is Bring Me Down," The Mavericks decided to take some time off and regroup. The group came together to from a record called Trampoline. The recording of this magnificent record features sounds and creativity never heard before form The Maver icks. Trampoline is recorded with a wide variety of instruments; surrounding themselves with a string section, horns and backup singers to capture the spirit, spontaneity and energy of a live performance. "We have been experimenting with a lot of different things throughout the years. As long as we had fun, laughed or cried and enjoyed the songs, then we put them on the album," said Raul Malo, co-producer and primary song writer of Trampoline. Their newly recorded album is a mix of "classic pop music," Malo said. "This reflects what it is to have been born in the '60s, grown up in the '70s, survive in the '80s and be here in the '90s." "Coming back and making this r e - cording was a great way to start up The Mavericks' album cover Trampoline.
