Opposition mountb to Green Street pro By TOM COONEY -Gamecock Staff Writer Working in opposition to the University's proposed Green Street plans, the Student Senate Residence Life Comrnittee released a report last week listing six objections to the Green Street proposais. Cited in the report were objections to the removal of Green Street parking; the proposed 20-foot wide median; the wrought-iron fence that is planned to be run down the median, and the widening of the street by 20 feet. The committee warned that the proposed Green Street plans might be the first step toward making the street open to four lane traffic, as opposed to being the first move toward the street's closing. RESIDENCE LIFE Committee Chairman Dave Wilsford said that after discussing the Green Street issue thoroughly in committee since the beginning of the semester, "We were getting more and more evidence of support for the opposition to the (Green Street) plan as we went along. " Wilsford also stressed a point made in the report. "While the proposals for Green Street are not desirable, there's no reason to sack the plan for Longstreet (or Sumter Street)." Under the combined plan for Green and Sumter Streets, the east or Russell House lane of Sumter Street would be closed to traffic between Devine and Green Streets. The street's west lane would be widened approximately five feet to accomodate two-way traffic. Asked what direction his committee will take in the next few weeks, Wilsford replied, "We have decided to wait and see what develops with the special committee formed by (Student Government Association President Steve) Hill." The eight-member committee, composed of Senators, members of the SGA executive branch, and from the student body in general, to study the Green Street issue. Hill has said he will back whatever recom mendation the committee makes, whether they approve the proposed plans, come up with alternate plans or suggest that Green Street be left the way it is now. USC VICE President for Operations Harold Brunton will sit in on all the committee's meetings. Brunton has reportedly said that he is open to all suggestions from students with regard to the planned changes for Green Street. The Residence Life Committee report also declared as an alternative to present plans for Green Street that, "If the City of Columbia refuses to close the street, it is hoped that . . . it will not pursue the median plan. "In lieu of this, it is felt that other more acceptable alternatives will be developed," the report said. "One such suggestion should include not widening but narrowing the street with the addition of landscaped walks and areas on either side, rather than in the middle." mtest, defeat is s As time was running out, and curious Heat deadline, it first spectators were crowding in to see what howev4 t would go over would happen.
