Student senate
makes no decisions
by Aleda Shirley
Mr. William R. Davidson , Associate
Business Manager of the University, spoke
before the Thursday ,Sept. 8', meeting of
the U of L Student Senate. His topic was
the parking problem. Dan Keller, Director
of the Department of Public Safety, after
waiting patiently for an hour and a half,
left without speaking. Questions and
answers were exchanged between
Davidson and various senators, but no
solution to the considerable parking
problem was reached. It was suggested
that students who made use of carpools
should be given preferential parking, but
again no conclusion was made.'
The Speed Student Council announced
at the Thursday meeting that they were
working on· a new Speed School
Arbitration Board, the purpose of which
would be to decide if teachers had treated
students fairly. ·
Barbara Comstock, the Senate's
Academic vice-president, announced to
the body that she was at work on a
committee whose ultimate purpose is to
set up guidelines for various U of L
coJleges to follow when they write up
their Academic Master Plan (for the next
ten years).
Jana Buress, an A&S sophomore, gave
a report on the Health Planning
Committee. This Committee is interested
in knowing what kind of health services
students want, what students want these
health services to include, and whether
they feel a health fee should be voluntary
or mandatory. '
Several motions were passed at the
Thursday meeting. The Senate approved
the Speed Student Council's
Constitution. It endorsed the idea of an
intramural football game between U of L
and U of K. Also passed was a motion'
which stated that the Student Senate
should "investigate the possibility of pur­chasing
a fast food franchise as a source of
revenue." :How this purchase would be
financed was not discussed.
Greg Price, Student Senate
vice-president in charge of Services,
submitted a proposal to the Senate about
"Recreation Facilities." 'Price's proposal
suggested that the game room should be
moved to the present student lounge and
then be carpeted, and equipped with
recreational equipment and piped-in
stereo music. Furthermore, the current
Family Lounge should be carpeted and
equipped with color television for
students. Price's proposal also stated that
the bookstore not be allowed to expand
into the Dean of Student's office. One
Senator brought up the fact that the
whole proposal was contingent on an
immediate move of the University College
from the UC building. Subsequently,
voting on the proposal was postponed.

Senate president, Nick DiBella,
appointed a committee of three people to
"look in to misconduct by one of the
Senate~s members." DiBella did not
elucidate any further on the nature of
the alleged misconduct. He also thanked
various senators who had aided him in the
task of alphabetizing registration cards,
which, DiBella says, "hopefully will allow
the phone books to get out before next
semester."

Vets meet
by Jim McGovern
The initial organizational meeting of
the newly formed Veterans' Club was
conducted last week in the University
Center Lincoln Room. Approximately 50
veterans gathered to discuss the
desirability and feasibility of forming a
campus organization directed specifically
at meeting the needs of the some 1300
vets attending U of L.
It was generally decided that since
over 10% of persons attending U of L are
veterans, an organization representing this
large minority is needed.
It was noted by temporary
co-chairmen Bill Simon and Hank
Stanfield that "many Kentucky colleges
already have active veterans' gmups that
participate in such campus activities as
student government and intramural
sports."
In line with that purpose, it was
decided to initiate an intramural football
team and to urge members to run for
office in the upcoming A&S Student
Council elections.
An organizational committee was
