SG Senate oarkina a w* I By COLETTE BAXLEY Staff writer The 1985-86 student senate has major goals in mind for this year and the accomplishment of these goals could mean major improvements in campus parking, block seating and the freshman mandatory meal plan. Improving campus parking is one of the senate's major goals. The group plans to review revenues and their uses, establish multiple-hour meters at some locations and pave the Bull Street and Physical Education Center parking lots. Concerning the student hous nig sysiciu, luc muucih bcnaic intends to review the process for room selection and improve maintenance. The senate plans to review prices, quality, variety and catering of the campus food service as well as review the freshman mandatory meal plan system.

Wheelwright left because her husband received a job in Ohio teaching at Antioch College. Her sudden move has left a panic at the station because it was unexpected, said Lisa Bivona, promotions director at WUSC, but she is confident they will find someone to take her place. It s unfortunate that she had to leave so quickly. She really loved the station and spent a lot of time there. She was there from day to day and was actually in on what was going on. She was really bent on preserving the music that we used, keeping it alternative," she said. As of now, Pat Cox, program director of WUSC, is filling the spot as interim manager while the Board of Communications and Publicity interviews applicants for the position. "Pat was in a position similar to vice president, 'o he automatically was the prime candidate for president," Bivona said. "Wheelwright recommended him. He is a very good worker." The position of station manager has no set qualifications except that the student must be invr?1vf?H anH in thf ctn tion, according to Bivona. "The station has 3,000 watts, which is a lot for a college station and that is a big responsibility," she said. Before moving up to station manager, Wheelwright was traffic director, taking care of logging ID's and Public Service Announcements. The new station manager will be appointed only after a series of interviews with four students in top leadership positions, a group of staff officials and President Holderman. "This position is very important, so the applicants must go before some important people," said Bivona.

One of the senate's more recent concerns has been the improvement of the athletic department's distribution plan for football tickets. At the Wednesday night meeting, the issue of lottery for football tickets and block seating was re-opened for debate by Sen, Tripp Philpot who urged the senate to vote in favor of the block seating resolution. Senatoi Philpot delivered the arguments that block seating would promote school spirit and allow numbers nf nroaniTJirifinc tr? cit and display a sense of unity. He also said block seating would alleviate the rush for tickcts in the regular lottery, thus discouraging those students who nana 1 pnyo i. Drive, possession with intent t( distribute cocaine.

In addition, Philpot said many students had called to say they were in favor ol the block seating program, but only a few had voiced opposition, Senator Rodney Brown said this year's senate had not approved a lottery system, but thai "there will be no camp-out." Senator Mike Gillam said there will be block seating for the t Clemson game and that a lotten would be held for those tickets. "Everyone who is picked will be able to turn their I.D.'s in tc the organization leaders and ther I bring them down for block seats," Gillam said. "The lotterj is not meant to cut anybody oui from having a ticket. It is mean! I to keep from having a camp out." Gillam said the administratio declared there would be no camp out because of vandalism whic took place at the College of Joui nalism during last year's camp out. There will also be no valids tions this year, which will prever anyone who is not a student fror using a student ticket.
