Student senate passes plethora of resolutions by DEBBIE ELLENBURG Staff Writer The Student Senate has passed numerous resolutions during the 1976-77 school year in ah effort to represent the students and improve, change or clarify conditions -at WCU. The resolutions are on file in the SGA offices and are easily accessible to interested persons. Senate Resolution 473 was passed on Oct. 11 and approved by the Highway Dept.

ON OCT. 18 the Office of Coordinator of Research was established. The office has set up committees, taken opinion polls and studied the co-ed housing issue. The Research Office is studying WCU's food plan now, comparing the campus food service to that of other schools, reviewing costs, meal plans and student satisfaction with the food service. Senate Resolution 477, passed on Oct. 18, proposed af study of the Collective Assessment Policy of the university. This policy states that when a public area, such as the residence halls, is damaged and the violator is unknown, the hall will be charged collectively. The Senate opposed the policy and has been investigating claims that the policy has resulted in decreased damages. SENATE RESOLUTION 478, passed on Nov. I. recommended that vehicle registration be checked carefully to avoid inaccuracies during registration. Registration officials agreed to check student records more carefully to end the distribution of upperclassmen parking stickers to freshmen who claim to be upperclassmen. The effects of the resolution will become apparent next year. Resolution 484, passed on Nov. 1, called for an immediate refund of hall deposits to students who move out of residence halls.

The increased money expected DJ the change will be given to residence halls and athletics, instead ol athletics alone, as in the past. RESOLUTION 516, Feb. 14, requests that the policy now used regarding student employees be changed. Departments not associated with financial aid that hire students are allocated money for student workers. In some eases the money runs out. due to expenditure of the money which was allocated for student workers for oilier things. The resolution requests that student wage allocations be used lor payment to student and nothing else. Furthermore, contract agreements have been proposed for student workers to end unexpected lay-offs. Reaction to this resolution has been positive. Resolution 524. passed on .Ian. 31. recommends that residence hall contracts be amended and clarified. Resons acceptable lo the Housing Office for the cancellation of a contract need clarification.

Resolution 532. passed on Feb. 28. requests a change in the manner in which Housing determines the cost of damage to resident halls.
