The UWC would op erate from a central lo cation on campus from 10a.m. to 10p.m. Mon day through Thursday and would provide tu tors and equipment to assist students to im prove their writing skills. This center would support the Faculty Sen ate Core Curriculum Review Committee’s recommendation of adding writing-inten sive courses to gradua tion requirements. The bill states that the goal of the UWC and the writing courses will be to develop stu dents writing skills. At press time, other agenda items, such as the Transportation Fee Bill, had not been decid ed upon by the Senate. RHA Continued from Page 1A alcohol-related injuries and further deaths. Currently, students 21 and older may consume alcohol in on-campus rooms. Restrictions prohibit older residents from distributing alcohol to underage students and mandate that the door to the room where alcohol is being con sumed be closed. No open alcohol con tainers are allowed in hallways. Other recommendations made by the subcommittee include strength ening University sanctions on alco hol violations and creating sub stance-free housing, which have both been in action since the beginning of this semester. Of the 418 residents surveyed by RHA, 55 percent opposed the subcom mittee’s proposal. Twenty percent of students said an alcohol-free residence hall would decrease their desire to re turn to residence halls. As a result, RHA will present a res olution against the alcohol-free resi dence hall proposal. The RHA’s pro posal will be voted on by delegates at its general assembly on Dec. 6. On- campus residents are asked to contact the voting delegates within their halls to voice their opinions. The RHA General Assembly had previously passed, on Nov. 8, a Dry Campus Resolution that stated if the ad ministration of A&M decides to make all residence halls alcohol-free, then the entire campus should be made dry — ihcluding the homes of Southerland and President Dr. Ray M. Bowen, any Uni versity-sanctioned event on campus and the Bernard C. Richardson Zone at Kyle Field.
