Nomination Procedures: Qualified students desiring to Parking c called 'nei Glenda Miller Staff Writer "Near crooks" was the itrima used to describe members of the parking committee by Sen. Tom Stoudemire at Wednesday's student senate meeting. The parking committee, con sisting of faculty members, representatives of the admn administration and three students were presented at its last meeting with several suggestions asking for increased parking rates. Secretary of the committee, George Key, director of security, presented the proposals: 1) to double the price now being paid for meters 2) to charge $6 per month for parking at the Coliseum, which is available to anyone with students receiving priority 3) to charge $6 per month to park in the new garage being built on Blossom Street 4) to charge the faculty for free parking privileges they receive The senator said students on the committee are outnumbered by faculty and administration and their representation on the com mittee is ineffective as long as administrators have power over the students and can force in creased rates on students benefit from reserved parking privileges at no expense.

(Contienued on Page 8.) ommittee ir crooks' system which compels students to pay for parking privileges while faculty members enjoy the same privileges at no cost is unfair. The senator said students on the committee are outnumbered by faculty and administration and their representation on the com mittee is ineffective as long as administrators have power over the stadents and can force in creased rates on students and benefit from reserved parking privileges at no expense. The committee, at its last meeting, decided against the proposal of charging faculty and administration for parking decals. Sen. Stoudemire said that if students had to pay for decals then faculty and administration ashould share an equal expense. As long as the committee considers raising student parking rates while they enjoy free parking, "I will regard them as near crooks," Stoudemire said. After debate on the parking resolution introduced by the General Welfare Committee, the senate passed a resolution, sup porting the students on the parking committee, stating that they would not accept any of the proposals except a fee for parking in the new garage on Blossom Street and expressed an opinion that $6 per month was too expnsnive.

The memorial is presented yearly in honor of the dead students. The purpose of the memorial is, "to commermorate what the students died for," said Joe Wilson, a member of the AAS. The students died following disruptions occured when an Orangeburg bowling alley refused to allow blacks entrance.

The AAAS was founded four years ago when students were allowed to enter the University . The purpose, as Wilson says, is to "orient (black) students at the University in a constructive way. The need for the AAAS is based on the fact that black students are a minority on campus and it helps them to become a working part of the University. It also gives the students a chance to associate with each other." The AAAS sponsored Black Week last semester with exhibitions in the Russell House. AAAS girls have also contributed by working in the Wilkenson Home for Girls, and working to begin a community Care center in Columbia.
