Associated Students, Inc. is falling behind as time runs out to pass certain legislation for this semester.

Both old and new business on the agenda for the Oct. 1 board meeting was postponed because a closed session was called to discuss an undisclosed topic.

ASI President Peter Ucovich would not reveal any information about the items discussed in the closed session.

When a decision is reached by the board, Ucovich will make a public announcement.

As stated in the Gloria Act, a closed meeting may only be called to discuss legal and personnel issues.

A closed meeting was called last year regarding a decision to pursue legal action against Six-One-Nine Graphic Design. The San Diego-based company was hired to create a new ASI website.

The board voted unanimously to sue for the $5,000 deposit after the company failed to provide ASI with a website after seven months, Last week’s closed session lasted for more than two and a half hours and will resume at 1:30 p.m. today in the Foothill Suite of the University Union.Four pieces of legislation from the Sept. 17 meeting, which were meant to be addressed at last week’s meeting, are still pending board approval.Among them is a resolution sponsored by Director of Social Science and Interdisciplinary Studies Angel Barajas and Director of Engineering and Computer Science Vanessa Guerra to declare a Hispanic heritage month at Sacramento State. The official Hispanic heritage month is Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.

Other unfinished business includes a resolution from Vice President of University Affairs Joshua Wood to establish a homecoming committee.

Homecoming is Oct. 25. If the legislation passes today, it would leave less than three weeks to form a committee and organize events.

A second homecoming legislation not addressed was a sponsorship of $500 for the homecoming king and queen contest.

Several students spoke in favor of this legislation during the open forum prior to the closed session.

Before the closed session was called, board members approved a consent calendarwhich included four pieces of new legislation.

The first, sponsored by Joshua Wood and Vice President of Finance Luke Wood, is a resolution for the establishment of a OneCard discount program. The brothers Wood and three students at large will form a committee to work with the OneCard Center to solicit more Sac State student discounts from local businesses.

With board approval, Executive Vice President Julio Velazquez appointed Jordan Aquino as chair of the Internal Affairs Committee. Board member Barajas was appointed as vice chair to the board in the absence of Velazquez.

Also passed on the consent calendar was a resolution adding new responsibilities to the office of the vice president of university affairs.

Joshua Wood will now be responsible for meeting with appointees to gather information about student issues as well as organizing informational presentations to Sac State and the community about ASI.
