Continued on Pg- By Chad Esposito Assistant Editor Recent concern over stu dent safety has led to Juri Kuris', Director of the St. Andrews Physical Plant, and Campus Safety's suggestion tor speed bumps on Magno lia Lane. The suggestion came about due to the num ber of students that travel the road by foot, or wheelchair, and the number of cars that constantly speed down Mag nolia Lane. Kuris' sugges tions include: two or three low speed bumps; and "u- shaped" sidewalks around the speed bumps, for adap tive students. According to Dean Greer, the administration liked the idea of speed bumps because they would prevent the pos sibility of accidents for pe destrians and vehicles. She stressed the necessity for speed bumps because of the number of high school stu dents from Laurinburg that use the road as a "drag strip," and for the general welfare of the student body, especially adaptive students. Greer also stressed that this is sim ply a proposal. She stated that nothing is official, and the administration wel comes other I options and al temate suggestions. On February 8 th, the Stu dent Senate decided that the concept of having speed bumps would be inappropri ate and unnecessary. They proposed, instead of speed bumps, that an asphalt bike path parallel to the street be constructed. They also pro posed that the pot-holes be filled before any new con struction gets underway. According to the Senate, a bike path seems more appro priate to the students be cause this would get pedes trians, bikers, and wheelies off the road. Further discus sion of the issue will occur after cost estimates are made, and all other factors consid ered. Lance Inside The Mel Bringle Hosstyle Sports Page 6,7 Entertainment The Wall
