Carolina Studeni September 25, 1961 The regular meeting of the Student Senate was called to ordei by President John Chappell. The secretary called the roll. and the minutes were approved as read. Jimmy Glenn asked to be excused from the meeting because he had to work. He was excused by the president. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Traffic and Safety Committee: The following report was presented by Ben Boyd: As far as the parking problem is concerned, the Administration is very much concerned about it and is continually working on ways to lessen it. In the near future, the problem will be solved because of: 1. In the slum area below Blossom Street parking facilities for 500 cars will be built as soon as the land becomes available.. The University is supposed to begin securing the land in less than two months. 2. The expansion plans of the University also call for the con struction of multi-story parking garages. Our committee has received a copy of the Wilbur Smith report in which many future plans have been laid out. At the present time we can only discuss and suggest temporary solutions to take care of part of the problems and relieve some situations if possible, until these future solutions are realized. The traffic committee met this past week to consider some tempo rary solutions and possible improvements. The following points were agreed upon: 1. In regards to the gate, it was put there for the purpose of preventing jaywalking which was endangering the safety of students. It has succeeded in stopping most of the crossing at this point. The gate causes very little inconvenience to students except those who come up through the Russell House parking lot going toward the history building. The committee feels that the present status of the gate should be maintained. 2. The committee will conduct a survey of residences in the campus area and adjacent to it to determine if owners will allow park ing in their back yards. 3. The campus police will be asked to once again have a man on duty in front of the Russell House between classes. 1. The City of Columbia will be approached on the following: a. Parking in the tree zone on Marion Street across from Booker T. Washington High School. b. Making angle parking on one side of this same block of Marion Street mentioned in (a). v. Changing to angle parking on the block of Sumter Street next to Fraternity Row. d. Posting of 20 m.p.h. signs on streets going through the campus area. e. Removing of meters on those blocks of Lower Main Street next to the campus. f. Repainting of the cross walk line in front of Russell House. The following recommendations were then presented. 1. That beginning with fall, 1962. on-campus freshmen be pro hibited from having cars. 2. That the recommendations of last spring concerning the build ing of brick walks in front of the Observatory and from Davis College to Sloan College and the construction of other sidewalks as needed. be carried out. 3. That the traffic on )evine Street by the BA building and by the Fraternities lie made one way westward and southward or downward, and that parking be allowed on both sides of the upper portion of this street next to the BA huilding; and that the street next to University Terrace which is presently one way downward be made one way northward and eastward or upward. This would give the effect of one street with a dividing median. Dance Committee: Charlie Bradshaw presented the Dance Com mittee report. The University will hold its Ilomecoming Dance at Trownship Auditorium on October 21, the same day as the UNC football game, between the hours of 8:00 P.M. and 12:00 midnight. Music will be furnished by the [lank Moore Orchestra. featuring Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, the Olympics and the Five Satins. Dress will be semi-formal. The chaperones will be Professor and Mrs. L. L. Phaup and Professor and Mrs. Marion Campbell. Ad mission will be by I. ). Card. If a student dates a non-Carolina student, that person will be admitted on the I. D. card. Total cost of entertainment will lie $2,200.00 plus Township Auditorium, advertising, and other small charges will bring the total cost of the dance to approximately $2,500.00. This report brought spontaneous applause from the members of the Student Senate. WUSC Committee: Bill Wood presented the following report: The problems that WUSC has of serving the advanced and expanding Carolina have not lessened. The committee report was accepted last semester. A recommendation was not made but will be in order next week. The committee again will meet with the WUSC student officials to for'm the recommendation for approval by the other senators.

The schedule for Fall Elections is as follows: Monday, October 9-Nominating Convention Monday, October 16-Elections Wednesday, October 18-Run-Offs iLlD BUSINESS: President Chappell.presentedl the following six grievances to the registration investigation committee for their consideration: I. The possibility of mailing off-campus students their cards so that they will not have to standl in such long lines. 2. Why is there a $10 blanket lab fee ? 3. The .need for a course expansion plrogram) along with our physical expansion program. CANDY MILK COFFEE SAND1 AT MANY CONVENIEI LOCATIONS ON CAMF iSCTRIBU TINGf C' Council Minutes 4. A program whereby seniors would have priority in registering for courses that they need in order to graduate. 5. A system under which the Dean's check line would be shortened. , A system whereby the Registrar's check line would be short. ened or eliminated. Buddy Herring suggested that the committee add to the list the possibility of mailing the students' I. D. cards to them in order to prevent the mass confusion which abounded this semester at the Administration Office. Joe Major said that there was a very evident lack of coordination between the Treasurer's Office and the various places on campus which collect money (infirmary, library, campus police, etc.) Because of this lack of co-ordination, many students had paid their debts in full before registration, yet were not allowed to register on time. He suggested that the committee also look into this matter. NEW BUSINESS: President Chappell made the following committee appointments: Dance Committee: Jim Glenn, Beth Stuckey, Leah Timberlake, Pam Crawford, Carole Jones, Mike Daniel, Jim Truesdale, and Guy Meares. Artist Series Committee: Pat Adair and Jean Carroll. Student Activities Committee: Jimmy Truesdale and Abby Mc Kinney. Homecoming Committee: Jane Boyce, Kerry Wofford, Frances Hambright, and Marty Sheheen. Traffic and Safety Committee: Judy Hagood and Richard Aber nathy. Glenda Gunter and Harriette Morehead were appointed Secretariats of the Student Senate. All of these committee members were accepted by the Student Senate. Tom Cox moved that a committee be appointed to look into the possibility of forming a duplicate bridge club at USC; sanctioned by the American Contract Bridge League This motion wias passed unanimously and will be referred to the Student Union Committee. Bill Wood asked if the committee appointed to investigate forming a diramatics group on campus had held a meeting. David Byrd, chair man of the group, said that he has met with his committee and will present a report in the near future. Charles Behling moved that Student Senate appoint a committee to investigate the possibility of establishing a check cashing station for students in the Russell House. Tim Quinn said that this same motion came up last year and was voted down by the Administration. Ernest Willis said the only way we will succeed in this matter is to keep bringing it up. Bill Wilson suggested that the cleaners in Russell House or Campus Shop be requested to cash checks. Holbrook Platts said that he thinks students are able to walk to the Adminis tration Building to cash a check. Ernest Willis said he understands that the cleaners lease property in the Russell House and that he doesn't think we can request them to cash checks. Mike Sheheen said that he thought this motion should be to the administration, not the Campus Shop or the cleaners, because USC can rectify bad checks when private businesses can't. Hack Kirkpatrick suggested that maybe the private businesses in Russell House charge $.10 and cash the students' checks for them. After this lengthy discussion, the motion was passed by Student Senate. Beth Stuckey, Ernest Willis, and Charles Behling were appointed to a committee to in vestigate this matter. Jack Wilson moved that a committee be appointed to look into the possibility of increasing the hours of business at the Student Depository and thus making it more convenient for the students. The present hours are 10:30 A.M.-12:30 P.M., and 2:30-4:30 P.M. This motion was passed unanimously. Charles Behling, Ernest Willis, Beth Stuckey, and Jack Wilson were appointed to this committee. Ernest Willis moved that the Traffic and Safety committee make the following investigations: 1. Why the dirt parking area behind the Engineering School is off limits for student parking. 2. Why students were given traffic tickets without warning for parking in this area. 3. Can said students be reimbursed for these tickets? This motion was passed by the Student Senate. Ernest Willis also presented a motion of commendation to Glenda Giunter and Harriette Morehead. This motion reads: I move that a vote of thanks be given to Miss Glenda Gunter and Miss Harriette Morehead for volunteering to serve as secretariats of the Student Senate for the coming year. This motion was passed unanimously. Ben Boyd moved that the Student Senate extend its congratulations to the Carolina football team and coaching staff for their fine ex hibition of sportsmanship and their great team effort shown in the football game with Duke, and that copies of this resolution be sent to Coach Bass, "The Gamecock," and "The State." This motion was passed unanimously. Holbrook Platts moved that the Student Senate extend its congrat ulations to the Carolina Soccer team and coaching staff for their fine exhibition of sportsmanship in the game with Pfeiffer, and that copies of this resolution be sent to Coach Pete Peterson and his staff, and "The Gamecock." The motion vas passed unanimously. Ken Holland moved: 1. That the President be granted powers to appoint a Student Senate Chaplain from the Student body at large, but not from the membership of the Student Senate. 2. That the duties of the Student Senate Chaplain shall be to open each session of that body with a short prayer. 3. 'That the appointee to the office above mentioned be selected from among the number of pre-ministerial students on campus, and without regard to denomination. 41.

The recommendations of the Traffic and Safety Committee were re-readl and adopted. Charlie Bradshaw called a meeting of the Dance Committee im mediate.ly after the adjournment of the Student Senate.
