Student Life
The committee discussed the information which Donny Winkler obtained and sent to each member concerning student organizations/activities at other technical colleges in the state. The committee came up with two suggestions which they thought might be a possibility.
Miss Tri-County Tech Pageant
Edie Hardin stated that an SGA Officer was looking into this possibility. Phyllis Shealy said that she would talk to an employee that was in the pageant previously to obtain insight as to the criteria for entering the pageant.
Student Newspaper
The newspaper would need an advisor or someone to set the criteria for the publications in the newspaper. Edie stated she would give Robin McFall a call to get her ideas or concerns.
- Issue discussed and major points of discussion
Parking
Elaine Foster reported that she had talked with Sharon Colcolough about the suggestions the committee had presented. Sharon did not feel the shuttle bus was feasible and the shelters would be too costly. She did think that a student wanting to pay for reserved parking was a possibility. She did feel that there were some things that would have to be decided such as: How long would the parking space be reserved? What to do with the money? Which parking lot?
Sharon also stated that work was being done to obtain shelters at the bus stops and that bicycle racks may be a possibility for placement at the bus stops.
