Right to speak to SCA raises debate

By Philip Attinger and Thomas Webb Chanticleer News writers b,uilding ne,~Cam- This week's SGA meeting broke up early after a heated exchange erupted between members of the audience and some senators concerning the presence of Jose Martinez. Martinez, his mouth covered with by Beniamin Cunningham tape which read "SGA", walked back and forth Editor-in-Chief through the rows of empty chairs holding signs stat- ing his belief that the SGA- in particular, First Vice JSU may not be alone in the com- President Matt Crandon -was attempting to deprive prehensive higher education busi- him of his First Amendment rights. ness in Calhoun County for long, according to JSU President Harold The debate was sparked when, during the student body report, a student expressed her disappointment with the behavior of. some senators regarcring Martinez's presence.

The proposed new Ayers campus, which will include residence halls, would accommodate as many as 3,500 students, according to JSU President Harold McGee. In a nutshell, they're looking to create a school half the size of Jax State not ten miles down the road. If that's not wasteful use of state education money, what is? Why is it necessary to make an upgrade like this to Ayers State? The answer is that it's not. Alabama has many other institutions offering the same curriculum. Not to mention a major university right next door, and two community colleges, Gadsden State and Snead State, within a short drive. Instead of making Alabama's two-year college system even more redundant, why not cut some of the fat there, and use the savings to help support all the state's insti- tutions of higher education. Perhaps then the budget cuts would go to the places where they belong. THE CHANTICLEER OCTOBER 17,1996 PAGE 5
