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.

WUSC manager
leaves station,
moves to Ohio
By JULIET NADER
Assistant news editor
WUSC, the campus radio station,
recently lost their station
manager, Paula Wheelwright.
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

and display a sense of unity.
He also said block seating
would alleviate the rush for
tickcts in the regular lottery, thus

"there will be no camp-out."
