"Here we arc in Saudi Arabia and one woman has already been take as a prisoner of war," complained bill sponsor Sen. Emilie Miller. Committee members "don't see that this (refusal to change VMI's policy) is offensive to women."

A new resolution was discussed at the senate meeting about the university parking situation. The Advancement of the University Committee met about this idea also. No resolution has been actually submitted, but they discussed raising parking ticket fines to ten dollars, non- discountable. They also discussed the dorm parking situation. They need to do more research but they are thinking of suggesting to Public Safety that not only freshmenbut also sophomores should have to park in the freshman lot due to the lack of spaces behind the dorms. The meeting adjourned for the week. The next meeting will be on Tues day, February 19, at 5:30. In an interview with Andy Lambert, SGA president, last semesters Student Senate meetings were recapped. He said that the biggest controversy last semester was about the intramural situation. The University was going to deduct Intramural funds which might have put the intramural activities in jeopardy. This problem was resolved by adding a three dollar fee which would go to intramurals. Other things that went well were homecoming and the hanging of the bell. This semester everything in SGA has been running smoothly according to Lambert. He was pleased with the turnout of students at the past few basketball games. He also discussed future plans for the SGA this semester. The Student Senate introduced a campus-wide recycling proposal. He also spoke of a Senior Gift Program. This program, he hopes to have started this semester and to have it ongoing from now on. The Senior Gift Program is designed for graduating seniors to give a gift to the University as a thank you for their education. He hopes to have all seniors raise $50.00 to give to the University. The money he said, may go into numerous things, such as text books or improvements in facilities and grounds."I also want to see more freshman involved in the Senate hearings, and also an increased cooperation with the Western Carolinian, WCTZ, the SGA, and LMP to help students know what is going on around the campus," Lambert added.
