Page 4 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1974 Brooks expresses concern ah out senators’ participation By TERESA COSLETT Staff Writer Barry Brooks, SG vice-president of student services, expressed con cern about ticket sales and senators not participating in committees in a Battalion interview Tuesday. Said Brooks, “It seems like most students don’t think student gov ernment does anything. And I agree. Not much is new in student services. “Last year we were tied up in by laws. We are addressing ourselves to policy and regulations all the time. “Student services is what stu dents can relate to more. They aren’t interested in our by-laws. Most student government action benefiting students, like shuttle bus, refrigerator and health insur ance, come from student services, he said. Brooks said out of 23 senators who signed up last spring to work on stu dent service projects, only four have expressed interest to him in specific areas. If the 23 senators could work three or four hours every other week, a lot could be done, he said. “They owe it to their con stituents. I don’t know why they don’t. If I did, I would try to solve it. “I can’t spend all my time trying to build fires under people,’’ said Brooks mentioning he uses execu tive aides to find information on var ious projects for him. Brooks introduced a senate resol ution limiting students to buying a ticket for themselves and their date instead of the present 20 ticket limit. “Why 20 tickets? It’s an arbitrary figure. I think it’s reasonable to as sume people will be going with a date. “The only justification for four is if a couple wanted to go with another couple. But where do you cut it off?’’ he asked. The exact figure of the limit on ticket sales will be voted on at next Wednesday’s senate meeting. Brooks said the Athletic Depart ment will go along with whatever recommendation the senate makes. The resolution limiting ticket sales will result in longer but faster lines according to him. Acknowledging that the limit would not solve the ticket shortage problem. Brooks said the seniority system in sales should be abolished. “A freshman pays as much. Why shouldn’t he have as good an oppor tunity for a good seat?” asked Brooks. He is now investigating the feasi bility of a Watts line, a Master- Charge Card for students (first in troduced at California State Univer sity, Hayward), and a student Co-op system. Also being studied is the legality of an Off Campus Association mak ing agreements with utility com panies so day students won’t have to pay deposits. A senior building and construc tion major, Brooks became involved in student services last year as a senator representing the College of Architecture. Policy to remain with Silver Taps By DARALYN GREENE Staff Writer Silver Taps will continue to be held in accordance with the present policy. Dr. John J. Koldus, vice- president for student services, de cided this Thursday during a discus sion by various student leaders and members of the administration. The meeting was prompted by the scheduling of Silver Taps two weeks in a row. Some said that the increased number of students this year, Silver Taps might become a regular occurrence and would loose some of its meaning. There were some questions raised about the library and MSC closing for the ceremony and not reopening after its conclusion. At the start of the discussion, Gen. Ormond R. Simpson, assistant vice president for student services, suggested having a regularly scheduled Silver Taps on the last Monday of the month. Several stu dents raised objections to this on the grounds that it would make Silver Taps less personal. In answer to this, Howard Perry, associate vice-president for student services, said that there is some immediate action taken by the uni versity when a student dies. In the event of a student’s death, flowers and a letter of condolences are sent to the family. Objections were also raised against some students not turning out lights or making excessive noise such as playing stereos too loud dur ing Silver Taps. Dr. Charles W. Powell, director of Student Affairs, said the present policy regarding this is for RAs to request students to keep their windows covered if they are not going to turn out their lights. Koldus decided that it is pres ently an inappropriate time to change the scheduling of Silver Taps. The ceremony will continue to be held as close to the funeral of the student as is conveniently pos sible. Another meeting will be held in the spring to discuss the possib- lilty of re-scheduling Silver Taps for next fall. Dr. Koldus also said he will contact the library about remaining open during Silver Taps.
