By FRANK SMITH Sni/'l Writer The Student Senate Wednesday night passed the bicycle bill, which recommends that students walk, rather than ride, their bicycles through a designated section of cam pus. The region included in the bill be gins at Military Walk and extends to Spence Street. It encompasses the areas surrounding the Academic Building, the Sterling C. Evans Li brary and die Agriculture Building. Sen. Billy McCaskill, co-sponsor of the hill, told the Senate the Uni versity's ('.round Maintenance De partment Inis indicated its will ingness to finance implementation of the hill. The bill calls for the placement of signs around the pe rimeter of the specified region en couraging students to walk their bi cycles. He said that although University Police lack the manpower to enforce such a bill, they might be alile to have an officer occasionally observe the area. “Mr. Wiatt (Boh Wiatt, Director of Security and Traffic) did say in a later conversation that it would be possible to have one officer out at periodic times going through this area — not really patrolling it hut just seeing if it was actually going into effect and if the majority of the students are in actuality walking their bicycles through this area,” Mc Caskill said. McCaskill also presented the Sen ate with a map of a Grounds Mainte nance proposal which called for a larger area to he covered than that specified in the Senate hill. He said if the “No Bicycles” effort proves successful in the region cov ered in the hill, the policy possibly could eventually be extended to cover the rest of the area proposed by Grounds Maintenance. Hie bill next goes to the office of Dr. John Kokins, the school’s vice president for student services, from which it will he channeled to Grounds Maintenance, McCaskill said. Sen. Tom Black objected to the bill. ”1 don't think it’s going to do any good,” Black said. “It’s dealing with people who are in a hurry and if I'm in a hurry I’m going to try to get there regardless.” However, Sen. Eva McGee said re jection of the bill based on specu lation that it wouldn’t work would be a mistake. “I think we have to give it a chance and we have to say, ‘Students, are you willing to do what you can to make this a safer campus for pedes trians?’” McGee said.

He said A&M students have raised $371. But, Fleisher said, other student fund-raising activities have taken place and he expects to see more money coming in soon. He said the total United Way goal for students, the University and the System is $114,000 and that the Sys tem has raised funds that have not been counted yet. A&M is targeted to raise 24 per cent of the Brazos Valley United Way total budget, which is $475,000 this year. Fleisher said he is not sure how much money the county has raised because money is still coming. Fleisher said he’s not sure if this goal will be met because the employ ees at die local Texas Instrument plant have been a major United Way contributors, and the plant recently announced its closing.
