Student Senate passed a Pronoun Resolution at its General Assembly meeting Monday, which would affect prevail how students choose their preferred pronoun and name through Webster and Sakai. Senate initially voted on the res- olution at its General Assembly Feb. 20, but it did not pass. Student Body President Jenna Dellaria said she believes the original resolution was not completely clear. “I don’t think [the senators] were necessarily against the resolution, it was just more of, ‘We don’t really know what this is and how it can really [be] implemented or do benefit for the university,’” Dellaria said. Dellaria said the Pronoun Resolution was then changed to include clauses that a similar reso- lution from the previous year, the Preferred Name Resolution, con- tained. photo by Justin Limoges According to Dellaria, the Jayden Hodgson and the Braves defeated Drake 67-58 last night in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in St. Louis.

Many students, faculty and staff know the disappointment of walking up to their car on campus and seeing a Bradley parking ticket stuck under a windshield wiper. Violators have the option of paying the ticket with fines ranging from $15 to $200, or writing an appeal.

The Scout interviewed the anonymous upperclassman student in charge of hearing the parking ticket appeals to see what it’s really like working as a “Hilltop meter maid.”

How did you get this position? What information do you look at when considering an appeal?

You get nominated to be the chair of the Central communications coordinator Jayne Dant gets all of the appeals and puts them together, and she has a Student University Arbitration Board by the really long process of how many previous citations you have, if you’ve ever appealed a ticket before [or] if you Student Senate president.

Some people would probably be angry. It would Yes, Jayne has had people call in and yell at her. be like, “Oh, I know you, and you didn’t appeal She’s told me stories of faculty or students who my ticket.” have yelled at her and gotten really upset with her because their appeal has been denied or How many appeals do you see? because they got a ticket in the first place. But she tries to work with students. Right now there’s a student who has eight citations, and four of them I go in and look at the appeals every Thursday, are for the same thing, so she told them, “If you and there will be anywhere between two and 15 go and buy a parking pass, I’ll only make you pay a week. Half of the appeals come from students for one.” But some people keep doing the same and half from faculty. thing over and over again, and there’s only so much we can do. How many ticket appeals do you deny? Why are people so often ticketed?

I would say I deny around 80 percent of I think they don’t know about the rules. I’ve pulled them. through a parking spot before and got a ticket and was confused after.

Quick Facts • University parking regulations are enforced from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday in all campus lots and parking decks

• Regulation violators receive tickets ranging from $15 to $200, depending on the violation

• Tickets have brought in $25,000 to $35,000 annually on average over the past five years

• The money from fines is used to support parking operations, parking lots, facilities and university services

BY Alex kryah Sports Editor

There’s good news and bad news for the Bradley baseball team. The good news is the men are scoring a ton of runs this season. The Braves have scored at least seven runs in each of their first six games, including a 14-run performance last Sunday against Tennessee Tech. The bad news for the Braves is they allowed Tennessee Tech to score more runs last weekend. Bradley allowed 34 runs over three games, contributing to a pair of losses in Cookeville, Tennessee. Though head coach Elvis Dominguez said the intense winds had an effect on the inflated scoring, he said he’s not one to make excuses. “We have to learn to pitch in those kind of environments, and our guys did not,” Dominguez said. According to Dominguez his pitchers had command difficulty, which led to Friday’s 13-7 loss and Sunday’s 16-14 loss. Junior Allan Beer and freshman Alex Gray combined to give up 12 runs on 14 hits Friday, while senior Eric Scheuermann was dinged for seven earned runs on Sophomore Matthew Richey pitched out of the bullpen in the Braves 16-14 loss at Tennessee Tech. photo via Scout Archives nine hits Sunday.

After a strong stretch of games by the Bradley women’s basketball team, the Braves now find themselves in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Bradley fell to Southern Illinois on Sunday afternoon, 69-63, a game in which the team shot 48 percent from the free throw line (11-23). The Braves have struggled at the free throw line for most of the season. Head coach Andrea Gorski described the problems from the charity stripe bluntly. “We can’t spend any more time on free throws than we do,” Gorski said. “The kids work on them, shoot hundreds of them during the week, getting ready. It’s just a mental thing. We’ve just got to be able to step up and make some free throws.” Senior forward Leti Lerma highlighted Sunday’s game as she became the all-time leading rebounder in school history by grabbing her 800th rebound early in the contest. Lerma said she knows the accomplishment was due to the effort she put into the game. “It’s just a record to me,” Lerma said. “It shows that hard work pays off, but at the end of the day, it’s just another record … Rebounding isn’t really about size, it’s not about how athletic you are, it’s really just how hard you work at the end of the day.” On Friday, the Braves were handed a deflating loss at the hands of Evansville, 73-71.
