The matter should be decided by a vote of the student assembly, not by one person. Small is making the same mistake as past presidents have by making too many decisions without the approval of the students in the asSembly. The only way to know the true feelings of the SGA members is to have a vote. ASUM would give UM-St. Louis the lobbying power of all four UM campuses together - a strength this campus could never acheiveon its own. Small fails to see that as a member of the organization, UM-St. Louis could not be lobbied against as was the case with the recently approved engineering program here. Small needs to rethink his position and let the assembly decide. Working with ASUM would be a lot bet ter than having tnem work against this campus. Parking Excuses Jack Kemp and Laurence Schlereth have a lot in common. They both inherited unpopular jobs, disorganized and poorly . rt,m departments, and they both have a thousand excuses for why things are like they are. But the similarities end there. Kemp, unlike Schlereth, has solutions. Trying to find a parking space on campus on a good day has been much like trying to buy wrapping paper on the day after Christmas. Everyone wants the same ten rolls. To make mat ters worse, the total number of parking spaces on campus has recently been reduced by 8000 or 60 percent of the upcoming fall enrollment. . At a May meeting of the Board of Curators,a bond issue worth $2.68 million was approved. The money was earmarked A KINI>E;R, GENTLER AAERJCA~ for the repair of Garages "D," "C," and "N."
