SGA salaries to Senate to By CHRIS SCHWEICKERT Staff Writer On a roll call vote Wednesday, Student Senate passed 12-11 a bill to regulate student body officers' stipends. The bill would reduce the president's stipend from -$1,900 to $1,000 and the other positions' pay would be scaled to this. Sen. Tony Daniels introduced the bill two weeks ago and it was called out of committee Wed nesday. Sen. Wescoat Sandlin spoke in favor of the bill saying Student Government officers' stipends were triple the amount received by the University Union president and other student of ficers. A bill to establish an on-campus parking lot exclusively for off campus students was also debated. Sandlin compared the commuting student with the stegosaurus which he said is now extinct because of its failure to adapt to change. He said the student who finds it hard to get a parking space chould cycle to campus, and that more bike racks should be added to compensate for the increase. Sen. Jim Bradford asked whether these were to be "on-campus racks or off-campus racks" and Sandlin remarked that the question was "frivolous." He then continued with his analogy. "This campus will be destroyed unless you start looking for a reasonable alternative" to more parking lots, Sandlin said.

They also said these students often had to park quite far from campus. The bill was passed 11-10 and will now go before President Walker for his approval. Sen. Bradford introduced a bill from Miami University which states that University fees up to $500 should be tax deductable according to the federal govern ment. The bill was sent to com mittee. Bradford also announced that representatives of American University in Washington, D. C., will be at an open meeting April 6 at 3 p.m. in Room 310, Russell House to hold an open discussion on the University senate concept. Senators Smith, Thomasson, Ritter and Boliver introduced a bill to establish a student-appointed committee to monitor student parking. The roll call on the stipend vote was as follows: Hearing rescheduled for street widening The date for the public hearing on the widening -of Pickens Street has been changed to 3 p.m. April 26, according to Harold Brunton, vice president for Business Af fairs. The hearing, which will be held at Capstone, was originally scheduled to be held during spring vacation. "The original hearing was scheduled by the Highway Department, which had no idea that this would be during spring vacation," Brunton said. "When the students and the GAMECOCK pointed this out, we contacted the Highway Department and they agreed that it would be a good idea to have students at the meeting." Brunton said that because of the great amount of interest and the lack of information about what the University and the Highway Department are proposing, a meeting exclusively for students will be held a week before the public hearing. More information about that meeting will be given at a later date. MEMBLRSHIP CARD AY -WEDNESDAY -FRIDAY We invite you to try ['own Bring This Ad ALL TEXAN With CGULAR 59' TALL Ad .. ...
