Student services

The merging of the Ticket and ID centers has pos-
ed no major problems for students or staff who work
there, said Marjorie Williamson, center manager.
The services offered by the center are divided to
avoid problems, she said. Two windows are for stu-
dent services, which include IDs, bus and movie
passes.
“We also do faculty and staff IDs there,” William-
son said.
The other four windows are for game tickets, con-
certs and whatever else may be offered through the
center at that time.
There have been large crowds at the Ticket Center
because students want both ID services and football
tickets. But students have been patient, Williamson
said.
“We have had no problems other than students
just voicing, ‘Hey, this is no fun.’ They don’t like hav-
ing to come over here, but those who come have

for security reasons. Mar-

the early fall semester.

been very cooperative,” she said.
Michael Johnson, sophomore engineering major,
said he doesn’t mind the ID Center’s move to the
Ticket Center.
“It doesn’t really affect me because if you are go-
ing to wait in line at registration, you might as well
get your ID there,” he said.
Grace Sanchez, senior social work major, said she
finds it difficult to walk to the Ticket Center for ID
services because of health problems.
“It seems to me that’s one thing that stops
students from doing what they have to do,” she said.
“We are never in the right place.”
The ID Center was moved to the Ticket Center dur-
ing the summer because of security problems.
The security at the Ticket Center is much better
than at the ID Center’s previous location, William-
son said.
“The security cannot be topped,” she said. “We
have all kinds of locks and doors that keep people
on one side and us on the other.”
Harvey wins
V.P. position
By Wendy Dowkings
Staff Writer
David Harvey was unanimously elected vice
president for external affairs by the Student
Association Senate. The office was recently
vacated by Junio-Omaru Barber.
He was elected at the Sept. 6 SAS meeting after
no others were nominated for the post.
“He’s been in the SAS longer than most of us,
so he has the most experience for the job,“ex-
plained David Garcia, the senator who nominated
Harvey.
Harvey has been a member of the American
Marketing Association for two years and is now
president. He said he thinks thise experience will
contribute to his new position.
According to the SAS constitution, his job will
be to study all legislation and events which affect
SAS. He will also act as a liason between them
and local, state and national student govern-
ments.
(He's been in the SAS
longer than most of us, so
he has the most
perience for the job
ex-
Harvey said his goal is to inform students about
HJR-19, which is a bill designed to break up the
Permanant University Fund. This would enable all
UT and A&M system universities to have as much
access to the fund as UT Austin does.
“It will be tough for him to fill Junio’s shoes, but
we think he will do a great job,” David Galyon,
SAS president, said.
There were no other nominations because the
other senators who have been in SAS as long,
have already committed themselves to other
organizations and school work, Garcia said.
“I was going to run but with 15 hours and a job I
wouldn’t have the time to do the job,“senator
Paula Elerick said.
His associates appear to be satisfied with
Harvey as vice president.
Elerick said Harvey has put a lot of time into his
job as a senator, and she expects him to do the
same with the office of vice president for external
affairs.
“I have a lot of faith in him,” Galyon said.
Dia’n Villegas, vice president for internal af-
fairs, said Harvey was a good choice, and that
they are trying to “bring more public relations into
the office.”
“You ought to see the way he is with the
public,” she said. “He’s great.”
