              the MAROON March 11,1983 Vol. 61, No. 20 Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 Hunger week publicity bill passes By Paula IVf. Guibault The Student Government Association allocated $300 for the promotion and advertisement of Hunger Awareness Week with the passage of Financial Bill 28 on Tuesday evening. The bill was a modification of Financial Bill 26 that was defeated last week by a 17-13 roll call vote. The passage of Bill 28 followed a two-week debate concerning publicity funding for Michael Manley, former prime minister of Jamaica. Bill 28 states that the money will not be used to promote any particular activity, but the week as a whole. A friendly amendment, proposed by law delegate Mike Jedynak and agreed to by John Killilea, author of the bill and congressperson-at-large, stipulated that "none of the funds allocated shall be used to publicize Michael Manley's speaking engagement nor shall the SGA logo appear anywhere on any of his advertisements." Chuck Olsen, president of the law delegation, said he was "insulted by the introduction of this bill." He said that in his nine years of experience with student government, "whenever the body voted on something and expressed their will, nobody ever came back and tried to use subterfuge to get money for their organization." Olsen went on to say that he could see only two reasons for the introduction of Bill 28: because [SGA] election dates are near, or that the bill is "an attempt to single-handedly undermine or discredit the SGA's functioning on this campus." He said he believed that hunger awareness was a worthy cause but the week was a university event sponsored by university organizations with their own budgets. Jedynak said he doesn't "quite see this in the same light as Mr. Olsen does." He pointed out that it "really makes no difference . . . Mr. Manley is coming and there's nothing we can do about it." Jedynak said that last week the SGA voiced its opposition to Manley's appearance but that they were now being called upon to support Hunger Law Representative Michael Jedynak proposes amendment to bill, while Chuck Olsen, law delegation president, expresses disappro m(w  Commuters favor proposed garage By Tammy L. Collins Seventy percent of the 167 commuter students who responded to a parking survey said they would utilize the proposed Loyola and/or Tulane parking garage provided the fees were reasonable. The survey was conducted by the Center for Commuter Services. Approximately 56 percent of these students considered a reasonable fee to be between $25 and $35 per semester. Last week, the Maroon reported that the Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president, estimated a garage could cost commuters up to $40 per month. As the Maroon also reported, the proposed multilevel garage, which would allow nearly 500 cars access to off-street parking, is still under consideration.According to Deborah Reid Bryant, director of Commuter Services, the survey was conducted to determine student reaction to the current university parking situation and to determine student interest in parking alternatives. Georgette Thompson, overseer of the survey and commuter assistant, said a majority of the students opposed other alternative parking plans, which include the operation of a Loyola bus service along the city's main streets. Thompson and Dr. Keith Jacobs, associate professor of psychology, worked together in devising the survey and calculating the results. "Students really want to use their own cars," Thompson said, after reviewing survey results. "They feel as though they will not be able to participate in co-curricular activities outside of the classroom because catching a bus or shuttle places time constraints on them. They don't want that," she said. Students were asked to express their opinions concerning the recently proposed residential permit parking plan. Passage of this plan will allow only residents with permits to park on residential streets; anyone without a permit will be excluded from parking in the designated areas. Many students expressed feelings of hostility toward the residential permit parking plan, Thompson said. One survey respondent said, "I think that it would be totally outrageous. Where in the hell are people supposed to park? Loyola is so busy building a new building when the parking situation is the biggest problem." "Students feel as though Loyola should give them somewhere to park," Thompson said. "They think the university is responsible," she said. "Students feel they won't have anywhere to park," Thompson continued. "A few suggested that if they can't have a place to park, theyjdon't want to come to Loyola anymore," she added. One respondent said, "I will have no place to park; I may resort to going back to UNO [University of New Orleans] where they have nice, big parking lots!"
