Incoming Undergraduate Student Government President Mark Stewart and Vice President Merryl Werber will be sworn into office tonight and plan to get started on some projects this summer.

"We want to dive in and get a very full head start before classes start again," Werber said.

Stewart said he will begin his job this weekend when he travels to a Net-10 conference at Indiana University at Bloomington, Ind., to meet student leaders from other Big Ten student associations.

Later this spring he and Werber will travel to Harrisburg to lobby for more state funding, an open University budget, and a fifth year of funding for Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance grants, Stewart said.

"We'll go most likely before June, considering this is the most important time as far as the University budget is concerned," Stewart said. The state legislature will meet in July to finalize the 1991 fiscal year budget.

Stewart and Werber would also like to start work on installing meal point machines in downtown restaurants.

"We'd ideally like to see it installed by the time students get back (in the fall)," Werber said.

Stewart said this summer USG will work to sponsor sexual assault awareness programs for freshman orientation in August. Stewart said he and Werber will also begin work this summer on creating a Loop route in the fraternity area, an 800 number for scheduling classes and a downtown computer lab.

Some students said a downtown computer lab is needed.

"There are a lot of people off campus who don't have computers or a way to get on campus. Plus the computer labs on campus are always so crowded," said Jim Johnson (freshman-mathematics).

Stewart said the USG Department of Women's Concerns will work with Ritenour Health Center to train or contract a doctor to be on call to perform criminal investigation examinations for sexual assault victims.

Students suggested additional health center improvements such as enlarging the staff and having a doctor available after the center closes at midnight.

"They should at least have somebody there to tell you whether or not you need to go to the hospital," said Michelle Dorwart (freshman-mechanical engineering).

Stewart said his administration will set up next year's USG departments before the end of this semester. They will keep the current departments of Political and International Affairs, Business, Women's Concerns and the Forum for Underrepresented Groups, Stewart said. A state government affairs department and a department for local government affairs will be created, as well as a special-projects coordinator position to act as a "catch-all."

Stewart said he will encourage Forum members to work on projects rather than just discuss issues.

Black Caucus President Nicole Batts suggested the Forum work to sponsor events such as a diversity concert to celebrate music from diverse cultures.

Stewart said the USG Academic Assembly will probably address USG election ballot referendum questions, such as a fall break. USG will probably not follow up the marijuana referendum, Stewart said, because it is more an issue for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
