Other discussion centered arour < a letter from Dr. Robert Wilber, Chairman ol the Traffic Committee concerning the parking of bicycles on campus. Ihe classes resolution came from a proposal by Marshall Daugherty of the Art Depart ment. Mr. Daugherty suggested that classes starting on the hour would be a more sensible arrangement. Hit proposal, published last week in the Mercer Clutter, stated that the utapel break be abolished, but Ihe SGA unanimoaly voted down this part of the resolution Or. Wilder proposed in the letter that students should restrict parking bicycles to the spot designated in the CSC perking lot in front of the girl’s gym He noted that students are parking their bikes in restricted ureas and recommended that thia behavior be stopped and infractors fined. The Senate felt it impossible to comply with Dr. Wilder's wish since the present facilities only allow adequate space for 5 bicycles. The Senate recommended Uut a study be made to find more epace to park bicycles and that more secure racks ha built. It was noted in dlecustloo that- according hr Bill Stem bridge, the Registrar, the reason for 12 minutes interval between classes is that it is the length of time that it took former Registrar Columbus Posey to walk from the M Boor of the Science building to the kd floor of the AthninistraUon building,■ while stopping to use the bathroom and getting a drink ol water.
