Throughout March and April of 1996, the student Senate passed nine pieces of legislation. "I think that shows we've done pretty well," Franklin said, concerning the amount of legislation passed thus far. Another platform was lobbying for education funding, a task undertaken by both Franklin and Student Government President Patrick Wright.

WARD BRIGGS He also got a new job this iummer. Briggs was named as USC's Associate Provost, eplacing former Associate Provost, Don Greiner, who s the acting interim provost while the university searches for a new provost. Briggs says when his co-workers found out about lis new job they had some concerns. No, they weren't worried if Briggs could do the job. Rather, they were afraid he'd have to work longer hours and wear a suit. "A 10 hour working day is nothing to me, but usually I'm at home or in the library and 1 can do something For a while and stop to go out to the Best Buy or something," Briggs said. "Here, Fm in the office ? this is all brand new." In addition to dealing with the new schedule, Briggs has upgraded his wardrobe. Briggs said he has always worn a tie to work, but a suit is a whole new ball game. But, like everything in his new job, he's happy to adjust and make sacrifices. As Associate Provost, Briggs sees his main duties as overseeing tenure promotion files, a topic of which he has a lot of experience in dealing with. Briggs is a member of the University Committee for Tenure and Promotion.
