If anyone except the student body votes to adopt a new Undergraduate Student Government (USG) structure, then it would be unconstitutional, said USG senators last night.

USG President Galen Foulke vetoed the Senate's legislation that condemned any proposal for restructuring USG other than that by a student initiative.

However, his action was only to be overridden by the USG Senate.

The resolution was created after the Constitutional Review Commission, which was made up of faculty members and students, recommended Penn State President Graham Spanier take action to dissolve USG and replace it with the proposed University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA).

Foulke said he vetoed the legislation because the word "condemns" was too strong for the purpose and should be amended to state that the Senate "disagrees" with any other proposal.

USG Senate President Andy Banducci raised the motion to override Foulke's decision.

After debate concerning the wording and the resolution's purpose, the motion passed.

"I think 'condemns' is exactly the right word," Banducci said.

Some senators agreed with Foulke and offered to change the wording to sound more accommodating, but the majority remained adamant about its importance.

"I think this is something we need to stand strong in," Town Sen. Vicky Cangelosi said.

"This is the time for stronger wording," she added.

Banducci also initiated legislation to freeze $1,250 of the budget with the intention of reserving it for the upcoming elections.

Currently, USG has about $1,700, compared to the $2,500 of last year's election cost.

Now that half of the needed funds are frozen, Banducci, Internal Affairs Chairman Brock Coleman and the election's commissioner will have to talk about possibly raising the rest of the funds.

Also at the meeting last night, Town Sen. Chuck Buchanan announced his resignation from the Senate for personal reasons.

Eastview/Nittany Sen. Miranda Weaver was sworn into office.
