& rM * survey snows w From Staff Reports Although the Student Government and city council seem to have forgotten about Green Street, a recent survey by the Gamecock showed that most students haven't. Closing Green Street from Sumter to Bull Streets has been an issue for more than a decade at USC and last year's SG president tried to make it a reality, but the issue never passed the Columbia City Council. ^ As a result, not much has been done to revive the issue this year, but the Gamecock's survey showed that 61.9 per cent, or 226 out of 364 respondents, still want the street closed. Ninety students, or 24.9 per cent, answered they wanted it to remain open to traffic and 13.3 per cent, or 48, hnH nn nnininn Apparently students still say they have more of a right to use the street, which cuts through the center of campus, than automobiles because the statistics showed the same opinion regardless of demographic factors. MALE'S VOTING against the idea of closing the street were 20.2 per cent of the total, with 27.8 per cent of females agreeing. No opinion was offered by 14.9 per cent of males 0 and 11.9 per cent of females. Students from South Carolina and non-state residents on rlosinc the street.
