RHA makes
changes to
Going once, going twice
Thursday. March
constitution
BY BRANDIE LIFFICK
The Battalion
Students’ input on the newly proposed Northside
residence hall was discussed at the Residence Hall As
sociation (RHA) meeting Wednesday.
Chareny Reynolds, from the Department of Resi
dence Life, presented a list of amenities compiled from
an optional survey students tilled out when renewing
their residence hall contract. Students suggested op
tions such as having a recycle room and access to a full-
size common kitchen.
“We presented this survey to find out what the stu
dents want to be included in the new dorm,” Reynolds
said. “Out of the 500 that took the survey, 310 said that
they supported the new hall.”
Based on this
information,
RHA voted to
support the De
partment of Resi
dence Life on the
issue of the new
hall. The associa
tion also proposed
forming a stand
ing committee to ensure that student input is continu
ally included in the planning of the new hall.
The new residence hall was initially proposed be
cause an average of400 students a year are turned down
for campus housing due to space limitations.
Changes to the current RHA constitution were also
presented at the meeting.
While the changes to the constitution do not specifi
cally mention bonfire delegates from residence halls, a
new section has been added that said all members of the
Residence Hall council “must abide by student activities
policy.” Under this statement, RHA residents and the
council are being held responsible for adhering to the ac
tivities policy while engaging in on-campus activities.
“No matter what comes of the decision about bon
fire, this was added as a way to cover the residence
halls,” said Kim Twiggs, RHA affairs director and a
sophomore biochemistry major.
Another proposal states that the RHA president and
executive officers will be required to write a code of
ethics at the beginning of each annual session.
“Basically [the code of ethics] was added as a way
to increase the distinction between unofficial and offi
cial business,” Twiggs said. “It’s just a way for us to
keep everything clear.”
More responsibilities were added to the RHA exec
utive officer positions along with a reward system for
members’ attendance. While council members were al
lowed to ask questions concerning the new proposals,
they will not be allowed to debate or vote on the new
material until the open assembly on March 29. Ac
cording to parliamentary procedure, two meetings must
pass before a new constitution can be voted on and ac
cepted or declined.
“At the next [general assembly] other members will
be able to propose amendments to the new parts of the
constitution,” Twiggs said. “They will go up to the front
and present the problems they might see with this pro
posal, and propose a different way to reword it, or
phrase it differently.”

Mosley said they will also extend Longmire from
Birmingham to Graham Road.
“We want to take some pressure off of the Har
vey Road and Texas Avenue intersection to help
with that current traffic-carrying capacity,” Mosley
said. “A lot of these [improvements] arc trying to
get additional north-south carrying capacity to take
it off of Texas Avenue and Wellborn Road.”
Ross Street will receive an upgrade over the
next 12 to 14 months. The section between Reed
McDonald and the Chemistry Building will re
ceive the most work. During that time, the street
will be partially or totally closed off.
Gary Jackson, Bus Operations manager, said route
changes will be significantly revamped beginning Fall
2(XX). Bus Operations will begin redrawing the route maps
after spring break in anticipation of the pedestrian pas
sageway construction, which will begin in winter 2(XX).
“I think with any construction, you have a con
struction impact,” Mosley said. “We will try to mini
mize that as much as possible.”
Continued from hit

“Now there are over fifty, and not just in Texas,
is definitely success in numbers.”
Ferguson also said the trend is spreading,

Southwest Texas University have all passed similar
lutions regarding drowsy student driving.
Two weeks after spring break, Ferguson wiV/
to Texas Lutheran University to help pass tl
through their Student Senate.
During the fall of 1999,10 college students in
alone were lost due to drowsy driving.
“With spring break almost here, we want studi
be aware that there is an opportunity to avoid d
ous driving,” Ferguson said.

political science major, said she would definitely takt *

my eyes got so heavy I could hardly keep them open,"
