WSL
Western might form an
autonomous lobby group
By David Wasson
ELLENSBURG, Wash. -
Despite last-ditch efforts to save
a crumbling Washington Student
Lobby here Sunday, it
appears the six-university coalition
soon may be finished.
"The fact is, the organization
has been on the verge of collapse
for about a year-and-a-half,"
WSL State Chairman Mike
Johnson wrote in a letter attached
to each agenda.
"We're sitting right now with
guns (to) our heads on many
fronts," Johnson said during a
regularly scheduled WSL meeting
at Central Washington
Universtiy.
"WeVe heard WSU may want
out. WeVe heard rumbling from
Western that if certain things
aren't done, they'll pull out. And
Central may leave.
Additional indicators exist.
WSL Executive Director Jack
Howard resigned Friday.
Howard was unavailable for
comment Monday. WSL
members said the former executive
director gave no reasons for
his resignation.
The lobbying group's financial
records are a shambles, according
to a Seattle accountant. And
members of the state board have
been unable to agree on basic restructuring
proposals.
Meanwhile, Western is considering
forming a WSL task-force
designed to investigate the
state lobbying group.
The task-force, comprised of
Associated Students Board
members and local chapter WSL
members- will scrutinize the state
group's finances, management,
goals and objectives.
The investigation's results will
be instrumental in deciding
whether Western remains affiliated
with the state lobbying
chapter, AS President Jeff Doyle
said.
Western's AS Board scheduled
a special meeting this
morning to discuss this school's
continued affiliation with the
state chapter.
Central Washington University
already has a task-force similar
to the one Western is
considering.
Doug Pahl, chairman of Central's
task-force, said Sunday he
expects Central to withdraw
from the state WSL chapter
"probably this week."
Another signal the once-unified
state organization is dissolving,
was the abandoning of
Sunday's scheduled agenda
items.
Instead, members spent six
hours discussing alternative
structures for the state chapter.
Two executive sessions were
called so members reportedly
could discuss personnel matters
concerning new leadership.
While members did agree to
slice the size of the board to 13
delegates from 22, two opposing
factions still exist concerning
management of the group.
Johnson supports contracting
office duties to a management
corporation, which would be
responsible for daily business
affairs.
Students, he argued, would
have more time for actual lobbying
and workshops.
Western AS President Jeff
Doyle, however, suggested
greater autonomy should be
granted to each local campus
chapter. Students should retain
direction and management of the
group, he said, returning the
WSL to its origins as a "grass
roots" organization.
The board did approve proposals
from Doyle that allows
Western's AS Board to act as a
"co-agent" of the local WSL
chapter.
The new relationship strengthens
Western's lobbying chapter,
Doyle said, by joining the
efforts of both groups.
Also, fund allotments collected
from Western students,
which normally are forwarded to
the state chapter, have been frozen.
The money will remain in an
interested-earning account until the
status of WSL is resolved, Doyle
said.
Western annually collects
nearly $20,000 for the state chapter,
Doyle said. About $6,500 in
back checks not yet cashed by the
state organization also have been
frozen.
But if any good news can be
found here, Doyle said, it might
be the fact that Western will
pursue a strong autonomous
local lobbying group.
"I think a strong campus
group, maybe called Western
Student Lobby or something,
