Campus Parking Woes
Dominate SGA Meeting
BY CIIUC'K CARTER
The campus parkiag situation
was the main topic discussed at
the genera] assembly meeting
of the Student Government
Association held Nov. 14.
Danny Stewart, SGA vice
president, presented a parallel
on the parking situation. In a
report to general college
matters committee dated Nov
4, Stewart said that Chief D.H.
Johnson, director of public
safety, stated that 7,011 vehicles
were registered and supplied
decals. In the report, Chief

Competing in Houston Nov. 8,
9, and 10, the debate team
battled some of the nation’s top
varsity teams to the semi
finals. West Georgia brought
down Pittsburgh in octa-finals
and Emory in quarter-finals
before losing to the University
of Kentucky in the semi-final
round. This put West Georgia in
third place in the 78-team
tournament.
August ana took top honors,
and the University of Kentucky
came in second in the tour
nament hosted by the
University of Houston.
Debaters Lamar Garren and
Ray McConnell, both from
Calhoun, won their first three
rounds just hours after the team
was involved in a traffic ac
cident on the Houston
Expressway. According to
Chester Gibson, debate coach,
the car the team was traveling
in hit a truck that had spun
completely around in front of
the vehicle driven by John
Wittig, assistant debate coach.
Dr. Gibson reported that
there were no injuries in the
accident. He said “The team
travels 25,000 miles a year by
air and car. We feel very for
tunate that nothing serious has
ever happened.”

George Simpson, the advisory
search committee was for
mulated shortly after President
Ward Pafford announced plans
to resign at the end of the school
year. He will assume teaching
responsibilities at Valdosta
State.
According to Dr. Wells, who is
also chairman of the political
science department, the
committee is “ready and fixing
to get down to business.”
Procedural guidelines are
expected to be completed at the
next meeting of the committee.
Johnson also stated that 10
thousand copies of the traffic
code were published and
distributed and that 15,500
parking and traffic citations
were issued. The report
covering a 12-month period also
revealed that 46 vehicles were
impounded.
So far this year, Stewart
noted that 1500 traffic tickets
have been issued as compared
to 1100 at this time last year.
Stewart estimates that 20,000
tickets will be issued this year
and that a large portion of the
tickets will be issued during
spring quarter.
Parking task committee
members, Willie Ingram,
Thurman Tillman, and Stewart,
conducted a survey on the
campus parking situation "Our
committee,” Stewart said, “will
continue to study the traffic
situation on campus and for
mulate recommendations to
improve the u‘ilization of
parking facilities.” The com
mittee’s findings were reported
by President Pro tern Tillman
and findings are as follows:
Between the hours of 9:30
a.m. and 12:30p.m., a total of 21
student parking spaces along
Brumbelow Drive were open.
However, the majority of these
(15) were vacant only during
the lunch hour between 11:30
and 12:30 when students were
off campus.
During that same time span,
the total number of faculty
parking spaces available in the
area including the HPE
building, humanities building,
social science building, math
physics, and the post office area
totaled 255.
Students who were illegally
parked during that time tallied
63 as compared to the vacant
student parking spaces
available which were 36. This
does not include the spaces
along Brumbelow Drive, where
only 21 spaces were open for the
four-hour time span.
Also a third subcommittee will
be formulated to compile an
interviewing schedule.
“If things continue to go this
well, we may begin in
terviewing as early as January,
but they will begin sometime
between then and April This is
a very hard-working com
mittee, we have a good rapport
and relationship, and unless
something happens, we will
continue to stay a little ahead in
terms of getting the work
done,” said Dr. Wells.
He also said that he could not
be “more pleased with the
progress made thus far,” and
the response to the ad
vertisements placed in
newspapers. He has received
approximately 140 applications
for the position.
According to Dr. Wells, the
applicants are a very diverse
group of people. “Most are of
academic backgrounds, but the
diversity is striking. Effective
college presidents come from
very strange places
sometimes,” said Dr. Wells.
“Administrators in federal
agencies have had a share of
applications submitted. One
former ambassador has also
applied for the position,” he
added.
Closer to home, Dr. Wells said
that people on campus are
thinking about the presidency
too. “I have talked to a number
of qualified people on campus,
and four or five or them have
asked questions for various
reasons. They have asked for
information, and it is likely that
many people here are thinking
about it.”
The committee must submit
its selections to Chancellor
Simpson when the final
selections are made sometime
next spring. Dr. Wells said he
had talked with the Chancellor
Wednesday, but that the
Chancellor said he would not be
able to attend a meeting for “a
while.”
