ICC representatives can't take the heat
Andrea Svendsen
Furendo Suppondo representative San Lee and De Anza Cheer and Dance representative Nathan Mertz expressed displeasure with the actions of ICC Chair of Programs Levi Rosenthal at the Inter-Club Council meeting last Wednesday. The discussion arose after Rosenthal offered an apology to Disabled Students Unlim- ited and Nutrition and Health for not meeting with them to provide tents for their time at the flea market.
"There were six of us in the sun for six hours," said Lee. During the meeting she lifted her sleeve to show the sunburn she received.
"Remember, people are human, and we make mistakes. That does not in anyway justify what happened. I promise I will not do it again, and I keep my promises," Rosenthal said.
Mertz said, "He lies and makes excuses. He's unreliable. He needs to be removed." Rosenthal said that there were a couple of complaints, and that neither representative has come to speak with him about his performance. "There are a lot of clubs that have supported me," said Rosenthal. "I'm glad they came forth and said, 'Hey, buddy, you're not doing your job' ... I just wish it had been more private." Also at the meeting, several candidates for DASB senate briefly presented their campaigns.
ICC Adviser La Donna Yumori-Kaku said she was surprised the candidates chose to use the time to campaign, due to concerns about time management and the meeting's length.
"There's nothing that says they
can't," said ICC Chair Elaine
Smith, "so we have to allow it."
