See related story on Page 4. Traffic congestion, not only on UVSC grounds but also in the surrounding residential neighborhoods, has been an ongoing discussion between UVSC administration, neighbors and state and city elected officials. Residential neighbors are fed up with the traffic problems which have increased throughout the residential areas with the enrollment growth of the school. Student enrollment has escalated to an all time high of 14,000 students. In '94, residents pushed the City Council to have the 800 South entrance near Vineyard Elementary School closed to help eliminate an over abundance of traffic which endangered the children on their way to and from school. Residents feel the same threat is occurring on 400 West near Lakeridge Jr. High School. David Washburn, local resident, has written a document asking City council members to vow commitment of support to plans of closing the 960 and 1200 South entrances, if the city agrees to go along with a proposed plan of creating an underpass entrance onto the campus. Many residents have come up with several ideas in attempts to band-aid the problem, including forcing the school to put an enrollment cap on the number of students attending UVSC. Val Peterson, assistant vice president of College Relations, said the proposal for an enrollment cap isn't feasible. He said placing a cap on enrollment would interfere with the mandate Entrance, Page 17 'Banking made easier? Copy Shop to move for credit union Ryan Wilde Staff Writer The hassle of getting checks cashed, loans for tuition, and other banking transactions may become a little bit simpler for UVSC students in the near future. A proposal has been made to bring a local credit union into the school. The proposed location for the bank would be where the copy shop is currently located. Therefore the copy shop would be moved, not replaced, to a bigger and better location on campus. Terry Ann Harward, student body president, said historically the copy shop hasn't made money. Moving the shop will cut down on labor costs and it will be possible to expand the services. Ken Mathews, auxiliary services director, said a local credit union is ready and willing to come to campus. A credit union would provide many services to UVSC students who are busy or unable to travel to any other banking institution.Mathews said a couple of sites have been suggested as possible new locations to house the copy shop. The two proposed locations are the fishbowl and SB 101. Recently some students found out about the proposal and were able to ask questions during "Ask the Prez", a ques tion and answer session with school administration sponsored by student government.During the forum, Ryan Thomas, student services vice president, said the copy center is not being abandoned for a bank. It will be relocated if the decision to bring a bank to campus is ratified. He said the copy center will be improved and will be comparable to copy centers at other universities.Dick Chappell, vice president of administration and institutional advancement, said the copy center will become an independent organization rather than Copy Shop, Page 6 Student forum gave answers to pressing questions Matt Hemmert Staff Writer There was no satellite link between UVSC and Siberia Nov. 15, so President Kerry Romesburg wasn't able to answer questions posed at the "Ask the Prez" forum sponsored by student government. Filling in for President Romesburg were his vice presidents: Academic Affairs Vice President Lucille T. Stoddard, Student Services Vice President Ryan Thomas, College Relations Vice President Gilbert E. Cook, and Administrative and Institutional Advancement Vice President Dick L. Chappell. The event was open to students and faculty, who asked many questions and voiced their concerns.
