'TdeteiTninedthatneitherpro-
posal had appropriate measures
to be approved,*'he said.
1 am obligated to ensure that
the law is followed.'' »
Corcoran mentioned that
Green thought that she had the
authority to pass the budget by
executive order but that it was a
violation of ASI bylaws to do so.
"The executive was asserting
thai she had independent author¬
ity to pass a budget, but she really
doesn't have that authority un¬
der thelaw.*"
Gonzales-Shweiki originally
asked the new senate to consider
Green's proposal.
"Because of the lateness of her
proposal, Stacey felt the budget
needed to pass," Gonzales-
Shweiki said.
''The objections that I have is
that Gonzales-Shweiki convened
tjaenew student government ap¬
pro ved Stacey's executive order.
To me, that didn't meet the spirit
of the bylaws."
Corcoran said the only time
an executive order can be used is
in an extreme fiscal necessity.
He mentioned aninstancesev-
eral years ago when a refrigesa-
tor broke in the Campus
Children's Center and it needed
to be fixed. The CCC receives
state and federal monies to oper¬
ate, and it could not operate with¬
out a refrigerator.
The executive order was sub¬
sequently passed when the sen¬
ate convened. This instance was
one of "legal importance."
"Executive orders are de¬
signed for emergency purposes.
It is nqfc intended as a means to
pass legislation-it is for emer¬
gency fiscal matters," Corcoran
said.        *
According to Corcoran, Green
vetoed the Eanes proposal in fa¬
vor of her own.
Because of the budget impasse,
all expenditures, with the excep¬
tion of "legally obligated ex¬
penses like salaries and the funds
for the Campus Children's Cen¬
ter and The Collegian "are frozen
for the year, Corcoran said. This
includes a projected budget of
$138300 (based on 1993-94 allo¬
cation levels) for the University
Lecture Series and funding for
clubs and organizations.
Corcoran said that until a bud¬
get is passed, "everyone will re¬
ceive their given amount froth
1993-94."
Corcoran said that politics
played a large role in the current
impasse.
"The ASI has become highly
politicized and people find them-
! selves unable to compromise. I
would hope that this over-
politicization would stop."
\     Gonzales-Shweildagreedwith
Corcoran's assessment, but had
some reservations about the
"". university's involvement, espe¬
cially with the problems of last
year/ "The problem was the prp-
'   cess, not what was in the/bud¬
get," she said..,    •
.        "Why didn't Corcoran step in
last year? He should have stepped
in last year when we were having
all lands of problems. This year's
