RESOLUTION 39

A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED

An act to Call For Fair Written Regulation of Publicity Chalking on Campus

Short Title: Publicity Chalking Act (Public)

Sponsored by: Senator Palin

First Reading: August 27, 2003 Version Date: August 24, 2003

Referred to: __________________________________________.

WHEREAS, North Carolina State University currently maintains policies or regulations concerning solicitation, postering, and painting on campus; and,

WHEREAS, a regulation concerning appropriate use of sidewalk chalk either does not exist or is not written in an any obvious fashion; and,

WHEREAS, sidewalk chalk is an excellent inexpensive temporary way for student groups to publicize events; and,

WHEREAS, sidewalk chalk that has been placed on weather-sheltered vertical surfaces quickly becomes an unsightly detractor to the professional appearance of the campus; and,

WHEREAS, a written regulation on chalking can both protect the right of students to use the medium while also providing a consistent definition of abuse thereof; now, therefore be it,

RESOLVED, that the North Carolina State University Student Senate urges the University to adopt a regulation concerning chalking on campus, specifically guaranteeing the continued use of sidewalk chalk for advertising on exposed horizontal surfaces, but banning its use on vertical and unexposed surfaces.
