SG senate c
parking ref<
by Sarah Huskamp
Staff Writer
Student senate Wednesday discussed
the possibility of allowing students
to vote on whether freshmen
should he allowed to park their cars on
campus.
The proposal came as a result of
parking problems the campus continually
faces. In the past year, the campus
has lost about 1,000 parking spaces
because of construction.
If the senate allows this referendum,
the question will be placed on the
SG ballots during elections Feb. 18.
Sen. John Tidikis said he thinks the
referendum should be placed on the
ballot. He also supported the idea not
to allow freshmen to get parking permits
except under extreme circumstances.
"Freshmen always bring cars [to
campus!. I don't think most freshmen
need cars on campus," Tidikis said.
The proposal will be considered

Gearman spoke concerning the former

"The old version gives sole discretion
