By Michael A. Tynan News Editor The new Political Issues Committee (PIC), which had previously announced some of its major goals and plans to heighten political awareness on campus, has now announced that it is now going to tackle Metropolitan College. Jason French, the Student Advocate for Education (SAFE) director and founder of the PIC, announced last weeks at the Sept. 15 meeting, that their main focus for the next few weeks will be to compile a report about the Metropolitan College for Student Government (SGA). "We're going into this objectively," French said. "We're going to look at all sides, and put (the information) together in a report for the senate and students." French said that once all the information is collected, and the report is compiled the PIC will point out all of the positive and negative aspects of the college. "We will begin to advocate what needs to be changed - but at the same time will include the positive aspects of the college," he said. French, a junior majoring in political science who made an unsuccessful bid for SGA vice president last year, said that the core members of the PIC will all be working hard to meet the deadline of Oct 13. "The goal is to get this report to the senate by its Oct. meeting. The senate is looking to get something out of this," he said. French said that all information will be released publicly once the report is complete and has been presented to the senate. The PIC will be interviewing several students who are in the college, various University Administrators who are involved, including Vice President for Finance and Admillistration Larry Owsley; and Associate Provost Dave Howarth, UPS spokesperson Ken Shapiro, and members of the Old Louisville Neighborhood Association. They will be questioned as to their views about the possible college purchase of Stansbury park.

IFC President Eric Cameron said SA E served alcohol to potential pledges during Rush Week in violation of IFC rules. Rush Week, held during the first week of each semester, is a time when fraternities recruit new members. The events last from Midnight Sunday until Midnight Friday of the same week. According to Cameron, alcohol is illegal at any fraternity activity during rush week when formal rushees are present. The IFC committee, which is made up of the Fraternity Presidents' Council, declared the following punishments for SAE in a report released Monday: • One year social propation, during which SAE cannot participate in socials, Greek events, intramurals or host See REPORT, page 5 Poli-Sci to present a "panel on impeachment" By Michael A. Tynan News Editor Th~ University of Louisville Political Science Department is about to throw in their two cents about their views on the President Bill Clinton debacle. On Oct. 8, at 12:30 in room 407 of Ford Hall, acting-chair Charles Zeigler has organized a "Panel on Impeachment." This panel will consist of three political science professors, Paul Weber, La uri Rhode beck, and Julie Bunck, two . undergraduate students and graduate students from the department. "It's a chance to share some ideas about what in;tpeachment is," Zeigler said. "We'll get into the legal issue with Weber and public opinion with Rohodebeck," Zeigler said. He added that Bunck' s presentation will consist of a nation to nation comparison to explain how other governments deal with or have dealt with similar situations. As far as Zeigler's opinion on the Clinton matter goes, he doesn't see Clinton's actions as impeachable. "From what I've seen, I don't think there are solid grounds for impeachment. But I believe he isn't as effective as before." Weber, a panel member, said he doesn' t think the public wants impeachment, but there will be a form of punishment. "I think the con-stitution realized that the president had to be treated differently if accused of "high crimes and misdemeanors" and that is why impeachment is a combination of politics and the legal system. This allows the houses of congress to be the president's jury of peers. "No matter what happens, congress realizes that they have to be sensitive to public sensus so far of the American people will be a censure of the President, but not an impeachment," Weber said. "I think the media has opinion," Weber said. gone bonkers." He said that this is the closest to direct democracy that many Americans wlll have ever seen, Weber added that many Americans don't realize -Paul Weber, Political science professor that the impeach-ment process is a combination of the legal and political processes in American g~)Vernment. "If it were purely legal, it would be in a court system," he said. "If it were strictly political you would have the chief justice act as a judge, the House (of Representatives) act as a grand jury, and the senate as an appellate jury." Weber said the framers of the con-because congress will pay close attention to the public opinion polls. He said that both major parties, Republican and Democrat, will take in several factors when voting on impeachment of the President. "Republicans seem to have mixed judgment - mixed emotions perhaps," Weber said. "Many are outraged, but may not want to see Vice President Gore as president. He would be hard to defeat as an incumbent in 2000." Weber explained that the 22nd amendment says that if Gore is appointed president, and takes on the position with less than two years, then he would be able to run for president both in the 2000 and 2004 presidential races. Weber said that this makes the timing of impeachment, if it happens, essential for Republicans. "If public opinion goes against the president, then the democrats want to distance themselves so that they will manage to survive in their upcoming elections," he added. "(But) if he somehow survives, they will want to support him for the 'shirt-tail affect,"' Weber said. As far as Weber's opinion on the matter, he feels strongly on several issues. "It's a surprise to me that he did such a low crime -low life in terms of sexual activity - and that he obviously misled people ... " "I think the guy is a sex addict," Weber said.

"We will begin to advocate what needs
