Amem underli of tick By Paul Osmundson Gamecock Staff Writer Student Government President Seamus O'Boyle has vetoed the senate bill that would have transferred control of the discount theatre ticket program from Student Government, SG, to the Russell Houses Travel Center. O'Boyle vetoed it because of an amendment to the bill that would have required the Travel Center to sell the tickets at cost, according to SG Vice President Garrv Nnrrie He said O'Boyle felt that Student Government could not regulate what the Russell House University Union, who operates the Travel Center, does. The Senate voted Wednesday to sustain the veto. THE DISCOUNT THEATRE ticket program was created in November, 1977. SG sells the tickets for $2.15, as compared to the regular charge of up to $3.50 at the theatres. Irvin Fuller, ABC-Southeastern and General Cinema theatres participate in the plan. According to Norris, ABCSoutheastern is the only company that sells the tickets to SG for $2.15. Irvin Fuller and General Cinema sell the tickets to SG for $2. The amendment that O'Boyle objected to was made to insure that the union does not raise ticket prices.

IN OTHER ACTION, the senate asked the athletic committee to investigate the distribution of football tickets for the Clemson game. Student Sen. Greg Worthy, business administration, said the senate wasn't trying to accuse anybody of anything. Rather, the athletic committee's investication is to see if any discrepancies exist. THE COMMITTEE'S findings will be presented to the senate during its Nov. 8 session. The senate also passed a resolution urging University f rkinini i t? ** I uiiung oci vitca anu nus&cii nuuse Cafeteria to enlarge the no smoking section of the cafeteria. Student Sen. Conrad Banks, health sciences, said the present no smoking area, located in the carpeted section of the cafeteria, is too small for the number of students who want to be away from smokers. Banks, co-sponsor of the bill, said the size of the enlargement would be left up to Russell House authorities. t Dining a vegetable soup, ied in pure butter, k Strip steak, _i_ _1_ a 11 i* ; m nigni ? ail inis riday evenings. rolina I i i ! r a place at the Top. apstonc dorni. 3r reservations.
