Dr. McCants said, "We are

are needed to specialize in student
health.

according to George Key, director
of campus security.

time the Coliseum is rented, lots

be adequate bed space and

Dr. McCants hopes the new

business manager and six or seven
full-time physicians, including one
psychiatrist.

married students can be treated.

A bill providing self-regulato-y
bours for all students at the USC
,ampus was recommitted to the
Resident Life and Rules Com
mittee for further clarification in
he Jan. 20 Student Senate session.
According to Sen. Rita
dcKinney this bill would primarily
iffect women students and would
dliminate required parental
permission for a non-imposed
urfew.
The bill was proposed by
senators Lynn, Moore, McKinney
and Spinazzolo, who maintain that
regulated hours for women
students is sexually dis
criminatory, since no regulated
hours are imposed on campus
men.
Discussion of a bill vetoed by
Harry Walker which provided
reimbursement of campaign ex
penditures in the voided senatorial
election of October was postponed
until next week.
Pres. Walker explained he
vetoed the bill because of the
existence of a contingency fund
which the student body president
may use at his discretion.

said.
Money obtained from the meters
and other facets of the parking
program such as registration fees,
goes into a bonded account and can
be spent only for improvement of
campus parking facilities.
New parking facilities may soon
become available when the
University motorpool moves from
its present location. This would
open approximately 60 more
spaces one block down from the
Towers complex, Ke said.

He said the reimbursement bill
was unnecessary because the
contingency fund could provide the
source of payment.
Following a motion to override
the veto, Sen. Magner moved that
the bill be placed on the call of the
calendar for next week.
Sen. Magner emphasized, "the
important thing is that people
involved should be reimbursed - it
doesn't matter how."
New senators took their seats for
the coming year. They are Rita
McKinney, Jenny Tucker, Trev
Williams, Shelton Parker, Leigh
Leventis, Pete Feheley, Joe Mc
Culloch, Bruce Burnette, Cary
Fechter, Allen Lawhead and Paul
Ritter.
Also Tom Wall, Glenn Calvert,
Jay Smith, Wayne Hembree,
William Fergusen, Greg
Ohanesian, Michael Hodges and
Wescoat Sandlin. A run-off
remains to be held for a vacant
Senate seat between Mike West
and Tim Blake.
The Senate also elected Susanne
Kiester and L. B. Connors to the
Student Union Board of Governors.
