Senate resolution 1403, an act to put local phone numbers for commuter students in campus information and the student directory, was sent back to the University Student Services Committee for further research. Allowing commuter students to park in the yellow spaces after 1 p.m. Monday - Friday made up resolution 1404. The resolution will stay in the Comm ter Affairs Committee for more examination. > Resolution 1406 is de signed to increase the availability of free campus phones. This resolution was sent back to the Student Government Association Committee for more research. Resolution 1411, an act to inform students of important statistics concerning instructors at this university, was brought up again for discussion. One senator commented that students she had spoken with about this issue were very responsive. This resolution will go back to the appointed committee. Twenty-four hour visitation on designated floors in the Residence Halls made up resolution 1416. One senator brought in UNC-Charlotte and ASU's 24-hour visitation policies. After some discuss .on it was decided that the resolution needed to be more specific, therefore it was sent back to the appointed committee. Resolution 1418 is an act to allow intramural supervisors to have access or a walkie-talkie during intramural games. The concern was brought up that an accident might occur during a game and, if necessary, contacting the EMS would be delayed until someone reached a phone. This resolution was sent to the Student Affairs Committee for further examination. Resolution 1419, an act to allow declining balance meal plan members to transfer meal points over to the following Spring semester, was open for discussion. Vice-President Cole Wildman expressed her support for this resolution, therefore it will be researched further by the Advancementof University Services Committee. An act to alleviate parking problems by providing shuttle service from the Ramsey Activity Center parking areas to A.K. Hinds Uni versity Center made up resolution 1420. Further research on this issue will be conducted by the Commuter Affairs Committee. Resolution 1421 is designed to allow parking beyond the allotted spaces in the commuter parking lot behind the book store until such a time that there are more parking spaces made available fn said locations by the Traffic and Security Office of WCU. Cole Wildman, Vice President, announced that campus police will begin ticketing students in that area on Monday. This resolution was passed by the Student Government. A summary of the meeting: eleven resolutions are currently being researched and one resolution passed the Student Senate. For more information on SGA, call 227-7299. Many wonderful things are being presented to the Student Senate for their reaction. Last week we had 12 issues brought to the floor for discussion some were passed and the rest sent to committees for discussion. Those that passed include our recommendation for vegetarian meals to be offered in addition to the entrees already served. Another idea we are still attempting to present to the administration is the use of our meal cards all over campus. Many students have inquired about the way a resolution is handled in SGA and where it goes from there. Once a resolution is written, it is presented to the Student Senate, which is composed of about 35 senators. We discuss the idea and research it. If it is a valid request, we pass it in the senate. After the Senate president signs it, the SGA president must sign it and then it continues on to Dr. Stillion. He then takes care of it himself or refers it to the people who can. For example, Dr. Stillion might take care of a request for more appropriate money to a club but he would pass on a resolution concerning parking or food services to those respective people in charge. Dr. Stillion also makes sure that we receive a response from any resolutions that he sent to other departments. For those of you interested in voicing your opinion or resolutions that are under discussion or research I encourage you to attend our Student Senate meetings. They are held every Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. in the Catamount room of the U.C. These meetings are open to all interested students. Thank you for your support.

Daniel Gibson, an Albright resident, does not think the change will affect him because he lives on the third floor. "It bothers me because it would allow the crickets, ants and pests to come in the doors and windows. I already get ants now," said Bobby Harris, an Albrightresidenton the 2nd floor. "They've always had the dumpsters next to the sidewalk, so why move them? I don't appreciate the idea of lifting up my window and smelling garbage." Billy Norton, Assistant Director for Housing Facilities, said there were a variety of reasons to change the garbage situation beside Albright-Benton. "The garbage was an eyesore and interfered with traffic," said Norton. "It was aesthetically unpleasing." Norton mentioned several advantages to changing this garbage situation. "It will be more convenient for people and we'll be able to keep the area cleaner," said Norton. Norton said he was concerned about locating the trash next to the building, but this is the situation at other residence halls and he said there are no problems. "We haven't had any smell or bee problems," said Norton. The methods for handling the trash should also prevent cleanliness problems. "Typically the trash is all bagged and its picked up daily," said Norton. Other work has been done under Norton's direction in order to improve residence hall life. "We recently installed new windows with screens and that should take care of any potential insect problems," he said.
