(Editor's note The tollowing is a special
announcement by the Student Government
Association Executive Council The opinions
expressed are those ol the authors, and not necessarily
those ol East Carolina University or Fountamhead )
The SGA Executive Council would like to
present to the student body the current
situation concerning the operation of the
Transit System in the Fall After discussions
with Mr. C.G. Moore. Vice-Chancellor foi
Business Affairs and Or James B Tucker. Dean
of Student Affairs, the SGA Executive Council
decided, in a meeting on Monday, August 14th
to proceed with a program utilizing one bus
during Fall quarter. The bus will operate
between the main campus area. Mmges
Coliseum and the Allied Health building on an
hourly basis We wish to provide adequate
transportation for those students having classes
in the Allied Health building and Mmges.
The Executive Council feels extremely
concerned about the University's lack of
co-operation in the area of student
transportation. We have voiced to
administrative official our belief that the state
and University incures either total, or partial
responsibility for transporting students to
outlying campus areas. It is the University with
its ever expanding program which creates the
need lor a Transit System The Student
Government has set a dangerous precedent by
funding a Transit System without the linancial
assistance of the state.
The student Transit System was initially
funded through a $2.00 increase in Student
Activity Fees which was passed by the student
body in a referendum, and granted to the
students by the Boaid ol Trustees. The I ransit
System iau on a yearly budget ol S44.400 00 at
a cost ol SI4.800.00 per quarter The Transit
System spends S I JR 00 pei day on each bus in
operation The Executive Council feels thai this
tspe oi program should be the total OI partial
responsibility ol the University
We wish to bung this issue ol the student
transportation before the student body to gain
a cleat picture of student opinion on this issue
The Executive Council will recommend in the
fall thai the University be given 'ull
responsibility foi student transportation
The Executive Council believes that lo run
one bus in the tall will fulfill the SGA's
obligation to the students who are returning in
the tall with the expectation of transportation
to the remote campus areas. This program will
also provide a just opportunity for the students
to voice their opinions. We feel that the pursuit
of new means to finance this program has been
neglected by the University and that the
students should have the opportunity to bring
this issue to their attention. The Executive
Council did not wish to make an arbitrary
decision on an issue which had been put before
the students and passed favorably. We hope
that through the referendum the student who is
affected by the transportation program will
decide the fate of the East Carolina Transit
System.

Computer grading discontinued temporarily

One official Horn the Data Processing Center,

number of tests administered since the

The current delay came unexpectedly for the
Computer (entei who had anticipated the new
computei system to he made operable by
September ! I he enter had been using the
Wt system 360. modeHO. but decided to
replace ,t with the much larger Burroughs
15500 system Because of the transition the
Oil Optical Reader, which is used in the Test
Cnding System cannoi be used
The delay should prove especially difficult to
the professors teaching the "lecture hall" type
classes whose sizes are such that normal
classrooms cannot contain the large number ol
students. Many professors teaching these large
classes are forced to rely on the Test Grading
System due to the 48 hour deadline given by
the Registrar for turning in grades. Professors
will be left to deal with testing problems on an
individual basis.

Tiki closes
By SYDNEY ANN GREEN
?' (initi
The I lki Room, a downtown Gteenville
establishment, was dosed at approximately 10
P M iasi Wednesday due to a fire code
violation
Lt James (, Smith ot the Greenville fire
department says. 'The back door was latched
and the aisle ways were congested We couldn't
even distinguish an aisle way foi the people
The establishment was considerably
overcrowded He added that in case ot a fire
there v.as a good possibility oi peeple gelling
UainpVed lo death it one ot the exus was
locked
lhc int. department inspects the whole city
at least annual!) and some parrs of the city
more often The dow ntuwn area of Greenville is
considered to be more of a potential fire
district than other parts Since the Tiki is in this
fire district n gets inspe. 'ed more often
Smith says that they went to the Tiki and
stayed about a half hour They then left and
went to the Elbow Room. They found
everything in good order and made one
recommendation about an inside door They
(hen went to the Rathskeller which was closed
and locked with no one inside
There are a number of businesses in town
that are in violation of a fire code according to
Smith "It depends on the occupancy, the use
and the number of people in the building at
that time whether or not we will order the
business closed Ordinarily if you go in and
wine an order the people will correct the
violation "
Smith stated that it was the beer places
where they usually find locked oi chained
doors The places with locked exits, heavtlv
congested aisles and not clearly marked exits
are considered the worst fire hazards
He says that this is not the first time the fire
department has eh ?'i an establishment Last
veat they ordered ,ne Buccaneer closed for an
electrical code violation and ordered it to
rewire
The Tiki is again in operation Smith says the
owner oi the business has reassured them that
they wouldn't find the back door latched again
Smith emphasized that this had nothing to
do with the police department but only with
the fire department
