RHA discusses parking, Homecoming 2003 and dining

Two parking resolutions tabled at the last Residence Hall Association meeting will be voted on Thursday night.

The first resolution suggests making the W lot, at the corner of Seventh Street and Roosevelt Avenue beside the Wesley Foundation, exclusively underclass parking.

The second resolution proposed closing the O’Brien Stadium lot Fridays, instead of Thursdays. The reason the lot now closes Thursday is because health studies and driver’s education programs use the lot Thursdays.

The Homecoming Committee is already planning for next year. The RHA decided to organize next year’s Homecoming Committee now to create less work next semester.

“It is something to get off of the agenda before we become so bogged down at the beginning of next year,” RHA President Kevin Leverence said.

Leverence said since so many things come up at the beginning of every academic year, planning ahead for Homecoming will make life easier for next year’s RHA.

In the upcoming weeks, the RHA will publicize a new housing survey for students living on campus. Housing and Dining Services are attempting to get feedback about likes and dislikes surrounding living in residence halls.

Leverence urges anyone who receives a survey to complete it because the survey will have a huge impact on living on campus.The survey also will affect how Housing and Dining Services respond to likes and dislikes of students living on campus.

Also next week, Bill Kolacek of the Multi-Cultural Committee will discuss the Museum of Oppression.

This week’s meeting will be at 5 p.m. in Carman Hall.

The RHA schedule will change because last week’s meeting was canceled. Next Thursday, Nov. 7, RHA will meet in Ford Hall instead of Weller Hall.
