GHESQUJERE: I think I'd have to agree with what Alex McKeown said in the Collegian, that the Greek Council vote is basically a special interest vote, giving a vote to one group of students. That's clearly not just-they're basically getting special treatment. At the same time, they represent about one-fourth of the students on campus. What they say matters, but it's not any more important than the views of the rest of the campus. '" McHANEY: I think Andrew Dinsmore did an excellent job as Senate Co-Chair. I know many of those issues were controversial, but Ifeel what happened today [the proposal for an independent seat] will balance it out, to give a good balance between Greek and independenlS. I'm interested to see how it works out.' 1. Wbat are the m8Jor issues you think the Senate needs to discuss? GHESQUIERE: This year, parties have most definitely been an issue. There's a letter-of-the-law • situation that used to be enforced; that's even changed, and it's a change for the better. Another issue is parking-there are more cars than spaces on this campus. Officers will give tickets to people just because they can't find parking spaces, and that's not fair. Aside from that,l think the Student Activities fee needs to be raised. Iknow it's a tough issue, but the students would definitely get back what the pay from the student organizations. McHANEY: I think. Greek life vs. Independent life is going to be an issue; housing; security and safety; party registration; our relations with the faculty; all oftheseare things that will arise.
