Regent's meeting
Volume 71, Number 21

News Editor
TOM TOBIN told senate at their
March 6 meeting that the Regents have
agreed with the Northern delegation's
parking lot stand.
Tobin said that the following points
will appear in the Regent minutes.
1) The land owned by the United Cam-pus
Ministry will be acquired with park-ing
funds, but will not be developed
into a parking lot until the ballpark
parking lot is changed and more park-ing
spaces are needed. 2) An ecological
group on campus will be allowed to
develop this land into a park as long
as they go through the physical plant.
3) After the land is paid for there
will be extra money in the parking fund,
and the college-wide traffic committee
will have a voice in the decision of how
to spend the money. 4) If the land is
used for anything besides parking, the
money will go back to the traffic fund.
Tobin remarked that point 4 may con-front
legal complication if it ever needs
to be enforced.
Tobin reported that the Federation
also established an ecological committee;
discussed a reserve fund, taking the
alumni association fee off the registra-tion
fee sheet, and the proposed $35 re-tainer
fee.
Senator John Whaley informed sen-ate
that when he attempted to obtain
figures on maintenance costs for parking
facilities at the business office, he was
denied the information. According to
Whaley, William Krickac, business man-ager,
refused the funds because an EX-PONENT
story had reported that senate
voted funds for legal counsel, and Kric-kac
didn't want to disclose anything that
could be used against the college. How-ever,
a number of senators informed
Whaley that the information can be ob-tained
in Pierre even though it will not
be disclosed here.
The new election rules did not pass.
Although both the author of the bill,
Senator Heffner, and the election com-mittee,
headed by Senator Bagaus, agree
that some changes should be made. Sen-ator
Heffner's bill was not acceptable to
the committee, and the committee has
not made a proposal of their own.
