"It was not so much the idea," said Barbara Heifer, president of Columbia Hall, "but the way Steve handled it." He called Glenda Thomas, then president, on a Wednesday to tell her he would be presenting the coed proposal to the board. He did not say when. i nunias inei wun otner otlicers to discuss the matter, and the group came to no conclusions except they should get the consensus of the residents.

SPEAKERS BUREAU The establishment of the SGA Speakers Bureau, which will be allowed to die after this year, was a decision both popular and controversial.

The money was coming from what Treasurer Paul Dominick reported was a $30,000 surplus in SGA funds, available because of increased enrollment mis year. A purse the size of the bureau's dwarfed that of Ideas & Issues, around $8,000 for the year. Cara Lynn White, chairwomen of the union committee, complained, "It would seem more practical for SGA to further endow existing committees rather than creating new ones to provide the same service." Because of such opposition from the union, President Dave Wilsford has nromised it will not be revived next year. "I'm real upset that it's not going to be continued," Hill said. "I just don't think Ideas & Issues is doing the job." TICKET DISTRIBUTION Reorganization of the distribution system was to have been twofold: pickups would be assigned bv Social Security number alone, not class standing, and two students with tickets would be admitted on one ID. Student government won on the first and lost on the second, primarily because of Coach Jim Carlen's opposition. Student Senate passed a bill providing for distribution according to the number of hours attempted at USC. The setup was immediately criticized because it nenalized transfer students and I . might have motivated some persons to take overloads simply for the chance at better tickets. The measure was repealed in early November, but in the Same session a proposal was defeated that would have eliminated class distinctions. That was reintroduced in early December and finally passed. It will be instituted next fall.

Holmes Columbia City Council voted five to zero Wednesday to take no ac uon on a proposal to close Cireen Street. USC students Barry Aiford and Steve Brown made a presentation to council Wednesday in favor of closing the street. Student Government President Dave Wilsford said Vice President for Student Affairs, James R. Campbell and trustee William Whitney also spoke in favor of closing the street. Wilsford said he felt the attitude council members projected was that they had already made up their minds on Green Street and noining siuaeni governmeni representatives could say would change things. Wilsford said each councilman gave a different reason for voting against closing the street. He said William C. Ouzts said he thought USC students used the street and so it should be kept open. Councilman Kirkman Finlay, according to Wilsford, said Green Street was needed for Columbia commuters to use during rush hour traffic. "They were all jumping to conclusions," Wilsford said. "They don't really know the issue.

At the time that council voted officially to take no action on the proposal to close the street, Wilsford said student government representatives challenged them to sit down with students to work out a solution to the problem. "I think if we follow through, they will sit down and help us," he said. Wilsford said student government is proposing that council join them in a "working committee." Wilsford said he did not know what the solution would be, but that student government is not willing to accept some proposals such as making Green Street four lanes or merely eliminating parking along the street. He said, "We don't want to give up parking without getting something in return." The joint committee proposal, according to Wilsford, must go through the Student Senate before a final decision is made. Wilsford said the proposal would probably be presented at the senate meeting next Wednesday afternoon. He said, "If we determine this is the official student government position on this particular aspect of the issue with senate support, I would think we would contact council at the end of next week."
