Parking

park so far away. It’s more convenient to ride the
bus, and the buses are packed.”
Ng said she is worried that overselling the lots
will allow the system to revert back to what it was
last year and that it is already hard to find a good
spot in parking area 100, the Reed Arena lot.
“People in the 100 lot are really at a disadvan
tage because anyone can park in that lot,” Ng said.
“It’s really hard to find a good, close spot in the PA
100 lot, and usually everyone has to park really far.
1 think the parking plan in general is a bad idea.”
Andy LaHaye, a senior chemical engineering
major, said the new parking system has been ben
eficial for him, but that it could be done more ef
ficiently so that other students could benefit also.

“The parking situation is working really u* I

Lai laye said this system is better than last yes [
system and that he is OK with overselling asloj
as lots don’t become overly full.
“Last year I wouldn’t even go to the Zachr\!|

said. “It was vicious. Now, as long as I’mgii;

If I pull up to Zachry and the lot is full ofpeo[

Senate
Continued from page 1
Rules and Regulations position.
“We’ve made a lot of rules, and
we made them a long time ago. We
need to go back into our bylaws
and Constitution and revamp a lot
of different things,” Nichols said.
“That’s going to a big part of what
I plan to do this year if elected.”
Dugat said a revitalization of *
the SGA constitution was a major
priority, but that he wanted to see
the senate live up to its potential.
“The first thing out of Rules
and Regs will be a revitalization
of the constitution, so that we
can fulfill our primary purpose
and the reason we exist, which
is to be the voice of student at
Texas A&M,” Dugat said.
Foley echoed his colleagues,
saying the revamping of the con
stitution was a major priority.
Foley also spoke about the issue
of reapportionment.
“Many senators have talked about
adding constituencies for athletics
and Greek organizations,” Foley
said. “It seems like a great idea, but
I’m just concerned about triple and
quadruple representation.
A&M students are repre
sented through their respective
colleges and their living ar
eas, which include Northside,
Southside and off campus.
“We will never grant constitu
encies based on Greek affilia
tions or involvement or sports
or anything like that as long as
I have something to say about
it,” Nichols said. “Students are
represented through their college
and where they live, with the ex
ception of freshmen, due to the
fact that they never got to vote on
senators the previous spring.”
Foley and Dugat both disagreed,
saying they would want to hold
some sort of referendum and see
how students felt about the issue.
Owen Taylor, a senior animal
science major, announced his
candidacy for the external affairs
chair, as did Junior Raimond, a ju
nior political science major.
Both candidates spoke about
the importance of the upcom
ing legislative session regarding
tuition deregulation and other is
sues affecting students.
“I’m running for EA because
there are so many huge issues
coming up this year and some
one needs to stand up for stu
dents and not be passive loti

Raimond, who was vic;|

concerning issues such asui

“I am completely against;,I

Raimond also spoke akij
wanting to sec a statewide le";!
writing campaign so that it in
clear to legislators that studeri
were furious.
“I think we need to putacri

be better off going to TCU.Bri
lor or Rice if we wanted to pi i
that much in tuition,” lay!*
said. “It’s essentially a bacil
door tax on college studentsrf

Elections will be held rf
Wednesday, and all Senatemfc '
ings are open to the public.
Hostages

but he later said in televised comments that the
number was 335.
The regional health ministry said 180 people were
missing after the three-day hostage crisis, which began
when armed attackers raided School No. 1 on Sept. 1,
the first day of classes, seizing students, teachers and
parents attending opening-day ceremonies.
ITAR-Tass later cited a Beslan city official as say
ing that a list of children unaccounted for inclukl
176 names. Russian media speculated that some >
the missing could be among the wounded broughn
hospitals in North Ossetia, unconscious or too deq
shock — or too young — to identify themselves.
The health ministry said 207 of the dead k
been identified, but some bodies were charredb
yond recognition. Questions also remained abc.
the number and identity of the hostagc-iakr

women reportedly demanding independence f;
