Zak Weinberg:
Associated Students held their 2nd closed meeting this week, due to what Chris Wendle, Associated Students internal vice president deems an emergency situation. Emergency, to most students, might suggest their saftey or education is threatened. Apparently to Wendle, getting drunk, damaging property, and getting caught, is also an emergency situtation. AS is alledged to have damaged property at Villa Antonio, during a university funded retreat the weekend of January 9th in Los Osos California. Lance Heck, a representative from Morrocco Method International, the company that owns Villa Antonio, said not only did students damage property, but there was no chaparone present - a direct violation of the rental agreement. Heck also said University attorneys told him in an email to stop releasing documents regarding the matter. Some of these documents include pictures of alcohol on the premise. UC Representative Michael Young said the estimated damage is $970, while Heck claimed damage was estimated in the thousands.
Some students say AS is a poor reflection of our general student population. “AS should be responsible knowing they are in the public eye, representing the school,” said Kristen World, 4th year antropology and spanish double major. Also, with the recent fee increases, some students question why AS was staying in a Villa where rates for a room range from $750 dollars per night.

Hard to think someone could have less journalistic integrity than the nexus but hey, congratulations you’ve managed to speculate and mess up the facts more than they did. Additionally, your website is IV’s source for entertainment, videos, resturants, and parties so I dont know where you get off thinking you can pass moralistic judgement on people’s behaviors. Above it says “Weinberg aims to build a publication centered upon ethical reporting” you speculated on what Wendle was thinking based not on a quote or other source but on your own idea of what was happening… ethical? I should think not.
did u mean to say “you’re an idiot”?
because what you said is idiotic
Hey man, Wendle calls this an emergency situation, and it doesn’t take a genius to understand that’s plain bullshit. If you want to discuss ethics, how about AS closing the doors to the students who elected them?
How about no student has ever cared to go to AS before now? How about they have closed meetings to discuss when people resign or are removed from a board and they dont want the nexus getting carried away with the story (which lets face it is a real possibliity). Also I’m sick of people saying any exec is to blame. They are some of the only students who hold the power to walk in and talk to the chancellor and vice chancellor and actually have them listen. For all I care they can close the meeting everyweek and sing a song if they want as long as they do their job at the end of the day I dont care if they waste an hour for an “emergecny”
AS = Sketchy.
You know for all the talk about AS and responsible spending no one ever mentions that it was the Nexus asking for more money during last year’s election and that the Nexus is still in debt. The only waste of my fees are the ones used to print the excess junk around the horoscopes and sudokus.
Why are supporters of AS targeting the Nexus instead of defending or apologizing for their actions? Release a public apology. If your not sorry, tell us why. This isn’t about the Nexus. It’s about irresponsibility and lack of transparency.
I dont think its about the nexus finding the story its about them reporting the story as fact on the front page and then when they finally realize they had some facts wrong they print a more updated story on page 3 in the friday paper. Plus there is the larger issue of the nexus being terrible.
You’ve missed the point. Instead of turning this on the Nexus, AS representatives should make their actions surrounding the incident clear, then apologize or defend them. Instead, they look pretty unprofessional by blaming the Nexus for misproperly exposing the story.
I think the use of the word alleged means it’s not printed as fact. the nexus used alleged so much it was kind of funny
the only reason i use the nexus is to keep me busy in class while my teachers are up there talking about god knows what. daily nexus = one big distraction from what i pay thousands of dollars for.

Every one on internet searches for ubercool content. Its very unfortunate with most of the websites published posts that are boring and out of context articles, just to show that new material is being published. Contrary to that immoral practice, this article is a ubercool-written article.
