I Last Friday's debacle shows need for G M Regulation There's been a lot of scuttlebutt flying around about the motion to extend the nomination deadlines at the General Meeting a week or so ago. The rumours are flying that Gord Owen made the motion so that he would have enough time to find a running mate for re-election. This seems pretty hard to believe, especially since Owen must have realized that when the motion was brought to the light of day at the next council meeting, it would cost him a lot of support in Council. But this indeed is what appears to have happened. Even the usually staid and at least relatively non-partisan council reps have expressed anger at the way the motion was pushed through and the lack of communi cations to councilors about the meeting agenda. Of course, the non-staid and partisan council representatives have had -a virtual carnival with Owen's blunder, lashing him in Council and making it very clear they have the worst suspicions of Owen's motivation. The real significance of the / controversy lies in two dangers exposed by the hullaballoo raised in Council. First of all, we need a General Meeting regulation to control any future abuse by people pushing through motions. Until 0 the nominations deadlines started up all this controversy, there were very few people who realized what could be done in one of these General Meetings. As Umesh Jain, the chief electoral officer pointed out, it's an extremely powerful technique to get your motion pushed through one of these meetings. The motions passed at these meetings are binding on Council and on the entire Student Union, and nothing short of hell or high water can affect a bad or L..;;;;;:======;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;,______..J manipulative motion until the next that the President has to represent action by the Council PresiQent, General Meeting is called.
