Registration, parking: What's your priority? Wrap-Up: Undergraduate Student Government By Steve Slawsky USG Correspondent ATLANTA November 6, 1998  Should ROTC students acquire priority registration? First on Tuesday evening's docket was a resolution on whether USC should recommend to the Registrar that all ROTC students be able to register before non-ROTC students. After a representative from the Navy ROTC fielded questions, the resolution was remanded to the Academic Priorities Committee for further investigation regarding both the wording of the resolution, as well as the exact circumstances surrounding the class requirements and time restrictions of ROTC students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to voice their opinions to both their major and class representatives.
Other business of the evening included allocating money to Erica Young, the chair of the Off-Campus Development Committee, to attend a Midtown Alliance conference, annual gathering to promote commercial development in the Midtown area. Council also appointed members of the Elections Committee.
Most of the action of Undergraduate Student Government occurs outside of Council meetings, and many events have been scheduled for the upcoming weeks. The State of Parking Address by Director of Parking John Nolte will be November 12 at 11 a.m. in front of the Campanile, and is brought to you by the Campus Services, Safety, and Planning Committee. The Parking Focus Group from the Office of Parking and Transportation Services is accepting input from students, which should be directed to Ron Kwok at ron.kwok@sga.
Other focus groups...you may give input to the Library Focus Group to Paige Younkins at paige.younkins@sga. If interested in the Post Office Task Force, please contact Alex Shkirenko at alex.shkirenko@sga.
Forty students are needed for Alcohol Focus Groups to review the Interim Alcohol Policy, and interested parties should contact Adam Baker at adam.baker@sga.
The Academic Priorities Committee has established a new web site cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/academic to answer questions about registering for classes at Tech.
Regarding ticket distribution, the Athletic Services Committee announced that the final football home game, against Wake Forest on November 21 will have "open door" admission, meaning that a Tech student should simply show his/her BuzzCard at the gate for entrance to the game. Please see cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/tickets for updated information about basketball ticket distribution.
SGA has given money to Under the Couch (UtC) to help sustain its activities, one of which is Shock Lobo's concert at UtC tonight. Doors open at 8 p.m., and tickets are $5 with a BuzzCard.
