Senate rejects media board recommendation By CARRIE SPRINGER The Media Board's recommendation of the appointment of Mark Eckert for KGLT station manager actuated heated discussion at the Jan_ 4 ASMSU Senate meeting .. Apparently. the consensus of the senate was that the recommendation included possible ram1f1cat1ons against the By-Laws. The debate centered around the fairness of the interviewing process in which Dustin Dunbar, Eckert's representative to the Media Board. was present at the executive session and also acted asa voting member.

Shelby Kuenning, one of the candidates for the station manager position, said that he had not been notilred that the interview was scheduled for Jan_ 31, until that afternoon_ Thus. he sard. that he was left unprepared for the interview. Kuenning, who was present at the senate meeting, supported his obiections to the board members. Senator John Emerson, who wanted to go with the Media Board's recommendation, sard "I don't see why we shou ld send it back. In all honesty, that I can see, they (the Media Board) tried to make a farf decision. What we are getting into is red-tape bullshit." The Media Board's recommentatron for Eckert passed 7-0-1 Three voting members were absent. After further deliberation, Senator Mark Beaf:t(_motroned that the recommendation be sent back to the Medra Board. The senate voted 9-5-1, a motion which passed the re-opening of the station manager applications. The questionable ramifrcatron of the By-Laws promted Brll 70-27.

Senator Don Peterson opposed the allocation. "I don't thrnk that it rs iustified There are other ways to build incent1tive," Peterson said However, Senator John Ward responded that the travel "gives a person a goal instead of them silting on therr asses saying I don't have a damn chance."
