Students voice parking concerns
The main complaint among stu
dents concerning parking on the
campus is that there simply are not
enough spaces for everyone.
However, many students are re
ferring to the spaces around their
dormitories and the administrative
buildings.
Students must park in any of the
white spaces so that they do not
receive a ticket. In addition, students
can park in the parking lots of Z-6,

Before a standing room only
crowd, the Carrollton City Council
unanimously passed an amended al
cohol ordinance Monday night de
spite protests by some West Georgia
College students.
Many WGC students attended the
meeting to voice opinions. Clif
Deaton, a WGC Student Govern
ment Association (SGA) Senator.
Deaton, who was absent from pre
vious public hearings concerning
the ordinance, requested a brief
summary and clarification of the or
dinance in layman’s terms from the
city council.
“To come down here at the last
minute like this and ask me to tell
you what a 40 or 50 page document
means in brief form without the poli
tics involved in it is a little much,”
Mayor Tracy Stallings replied.
Stallings explained that the SGA,
although welcome to attend city
sions of business and education be
came individual schools and the di
visions of humanities, mathematics
and science were combined to form
the School of Arts and Sciences. In
August of 1973, WGC invited
Dangle to be the first dean of the
newly formed School of Arts and
Sciences, and he’s been here ever
since.
Dangle is very satisfied with the
School of Arts and Sciences and
feels that it’s not often given the
credit it deserves. He explained that
gym, and Tyus as long as they are
registered.
After a tally was taken on the
number of spaces in some the park
ing lots, it was discovered that Z-6
has 350 available spaces, PAC has
134 spaces, and the HPE gym has
141 spaces. However, students arc
reluctant to park in these areas.
“You could park ther, but it’s not
the most convenient place to park
because it’s too far from classes,”
said Terry Stephens, a junior from
council meetings, had not attended
any meetings before Monday night.
Stallings added that the alcohol ordi
nance is not directed at students.
“A lot of students I think have the
wrong impression. I know there was
a petition drive over the weekend in
the dorms saying we’re [the city
council] going to close down all the
places in Carrollton that serve alco
holic beverages. That’s not true,”
Stallings said.
• Several major changes were
made to the ordinance in response to
concerns voiced at previous meet
ings. Changes included deleting
several sections. The sections that
were deleted included the section
prohibiting pool tables, pinball ma
chines and other game machines in
businesses licensed to serve alco
holic beverages.
• Also deleted was the entire sec
tion relating to background checks
and fingerprinting for employees of

become more cohesive over the years

Dangle is looking forward to re
tiring and plans to maintain a status
quo until July 1, 1992 wher his re
tirement officially begins.

books they’ve written that I haven’t
had time to read. Later I would like
to sit in on some classes in the Arts

retirement plans.

upper halfof the Tyus parking lot for
commuter students.”
Tammy Thompson, a graduate
student from Bremen, is in her fifth

complains that there is no place fora

visitor’s permit for that day. As an
undergraduate, she said she always
had to park in the gravel area across
