SBA Pres. Discusses Parking, Funding and More
(t ·o mi11m1 dfrom pagt• I)

It also he lp s 10 dis1ribu1e 1he SBA dollar. I 1hink as it stands right n ow tht!re are so me groups th at get quite a bit of money. but a spea ke r"s progra m is for th e of each a nd every stud e nt here because no ma tter area yo u 're in terested in if we ha, ·e an ex pa nsi ve spea ker 's program you're bo und to be co Yered by one of th se You ca n get a little bit more inform a ti on abo ut th e area vou wa nt to go into or are thinking .a bo ut going i nt o. If \' OU don't know - you ca n go to program s and kind of fee l it out for yourself to se e what area yo u're headed toward Anmher area that yo u campaigned 011 is You hod suggested that you 11·ould work to ward ho\·i11g· a plan similar to that as UC LA implemented. Just ll'hat is that plan ? Basically. what t he y ha"·e is a co lorcoded sticker progra m. where th e graduate students -stud e nt s of the sc ho ol of law a nd sc hool of bu s in ess - would ha,·e a ce rtain color where they co uld park closer to 1he buildings and th e und e rgraduat es wo uld have th e kind of sticke r 1hat wo uld pul them ba s icall y on 1he peri phe ry of 1he camp u s. Du e. basically. 10 !he time constra int s t ha t law and bu siness srnd e nts have. A 101 of people are working as well as goint to schoo l and we do ha ve a critical sho rtage in o ur park i ng lot - it's really difficult to find parking because l don 't think we ha ve enough spaces available for the numb Cr of stu de nts we ha ve. Another th i ng I want to do is to encourage those people who lik e to walk to school because we ha ve .a reall y h.ig h st ud ents populali on over in Dogpatch and in areas reall y close lO t he school. Many of 1hem don '! walk because 1hey have so man y b ooks to ca rr y t hat it's just un wiel dl y by the lime 1he y get here.

I think in a lot of ca ses I ca n't blam e th e m. because we're all ve ry bu sy. We a ll have wa y more to do than we've ma y be eve r had to do before. h 's a lough adjusimenl period bul I think if you go into that rn e nta lit ymy God. I ca n't even rea d the paper! - th en yo u're setting patterns fo r when y ou're an attorney. You kind of ha ve to se t yo ur per spec tives and de vote as much time as po ss ible to school. but I think y ou sh ould kihd of widen your hori zo ns and look around to sec what yo u can do to he lp e nhance 1he qualil y of schoo l life. I think that everyone can contribute a little bit.
During the course of the school year, th e one event that students get stirred up abow and care about is the SBA budget allocation meeting in the fall. You didn i campaiin on your priorities in allocations qf anual student funds. nor did anr of" the other candidates. I realize that rou don't have a vote when if hoVi· much.funding gets put toward anya('{ual prqject or group. but as SBA President you are in a leadership position to be able to pull together votes to support the prqjects that you think are most important. Where are yo ur fu nding priorities for next year?
I th ink th e spe ak er 's program is ve ry imp o rtant to me as far as funding. but as far as banding tog e th er vo tes fo r any one p rogra m. I a lm os t fe el as th ough I sho uld s tand back fr om 1h e iss ues and not rea ll y tr y to ove rly influ en ce the o th er voters. Wh at I thi nk th ey sh ould do is re fl ec t rhc in ten.: sts of th e gro up th at they arc repre se ntin g. I don't real ly fee l th at I saw th at we ll done la st se mester. lt see ms li ke a lot of tim es so 111 com: is
vo ted i nt o a positi on a nd th ey s tart loo kin g 1owa rd !hei r pe1 proj ec 1. I thi nk th at 's human nature , but I 1hink yo u sho uldn 'l fo rge t 1h e peopl e who VO ied for you and ren cc l their int eres ts as we ll.
I thi nk where my o pinion my s tronges t backin g wo uld lie in more of s ub sta ntive program s like the spea ke r's progra m, d evelo ping that as opposed to. may be, ha vin g mo re kcggc rs. I think that k egge rsa re nice ice- b reake rs bul I do n't think 1hcy se r ve as use fu l a purp ose as ge tting pr o min e nt spea kers here.
One o.f thl' programs thaf has h£'l'n most funded in the past is 11 hat yo u might call a nonsuh s1anrive /JrOl( ram and inframural Jpo r!S. Non-sub stanti ve, not in rit e sense that it Sno t.fun and nor participat ed in by a large number of students on campuJ but no nsubstantive in £he Sl'n se that it Snot 1011 · related. My understanding is thal m os! of th e mon ey that is alloca1ed to intramural sports goes 1011·ards p aying a u·age to referees. The intramura ls waived an y salary · for an y as s istant. wh ich I think was a fi ve or s ix h undred fifl y do ll ar s alar y, which I think is good. I 1hink that if our budget is as tight as it wa s last yea r w he re we rea ll y slashed a lot of p eo ple !hat ii wou ld be belier fo r ev eryo ne to co ntribute a little mo re fairly. I fe el that the intramura ls could ha ve been cut back a little more. But I don 't know what dutie s are e ntai led as far as the referees ar e concerned or how man y wo rk hours or just ho w g ru eling th e wo rk is or anylhi ng like thal. I would say that it seems like something that. would be more of a volunteer-type program as opposed lo being paid. Bui I also see rec r uiting for th e di ve rsit yqualified program also as someihing 1ha1 shou ld be a vo l unleer-t y pe program by the me mbers lO pul back into the program what th ey got out of it.
I think that s all that I u·ant to ask you about. Is there anything else that you u·o uld like to say to the students? Th e alumni?
Th e only think 1h a1 I can 1hink of is that eve ry thing I do I wa nt to have an eye t owa rd s pro viding jobs for th e p eo pl e who are c urre ntl y on ca mpu s. who wi ll be pl a nnin g t he ir ca ree rs. I th ink that 1hc d eve lopme nt of th e a lu mni pr og rnm a nd ge tting tog e th er wi th caree r placeme nt o ffi ce a nd s1.: e in g if' th ere 's anyt hin g t hat can b1.: do nt: to e nlarge its p osi ti on or abilit y to help us is my primar y goal.
