In the foreground are "Kap" Sink, WinfieW, and Cliff Mitchell, town student. Staff Photo by Ralph Humble BY NANCY DAVIS Staff Wnttr SGA President Jim McAbee and "Kap" Sink, Senator from Winfield Hall, announced Tuesday that bicycles could be kept inside dorms. According to Ms. Sink, a student may now bring his bicycle into his room or park it in a dorm storage area. She added that bicycles may at no time be parked in stairways or corridors. McAbee and Ms. Sink have been working on the problem since school opened, contacting various university and state officials to determine exactly why students were not allowed to store bikes inside dorms, since bicycle thefts are a major campus problem. Bicycle rip-offs on campus have steadily risen over the past two years. The 1973-74 school year showed approximately a 100 per cent increase in bicycle thefts. Ms. Sink contacted Mr. Ed Smith of the Greensboro Fire Prevention Bureau and learned that there was no city ordinance regarding bicycles in dorm rooms and storage areas. Smith gave Ms. Sink the name of Mr. Kenneth Dixon, Deputy Commissioner of Insurance in Raleigh. Ms. Sink contacted Dixon and the following is a copy of the letter she received concerning present policy: "This department, insofar as fire regulations are concerned in dormitories on the Consolidated University Campus, has established policy as follows: Bicycles may be kept inside individual students rooms or in storage areas but at no time will they ever be permitted to be stored in corridors or stairways." McAbee and Ms. Sink brought the letter to Mrs. Boling's attention Tuesday afternoon. After reading the letter, Mrs. Boling said, "Very good." Jim McAbee then said, "I'm sure that when Mr. Jim Blevins gets back, he'll agree that this will solve the bike problem." Ms. Boling added that the Housing Policy would now be changed and that this change would be implemented immediately. She stressed, though, that the Physical Plant would not take kindly to bicycles being locked to pipes. This, she said, would hamper the maintenance men in their repair work. Vice Chancellor Allen and Dean Shirley Flynn were both pleased that this problem had finally been solved. The new regulation does not include bringing motorized vehicles into the dorm. gather UNC-G's largest appetites and fun-loving spirits at one table for some terrific entertainment. Deadline for sign-up of applicants is October 4, at which time dorm and club presidents should have contestants' names turned in to Elliott Hall's main desk. Any interested student should contact his dorm or organizational head. Faculty members will be receiving information via departmental secretaries. Circle- K members will answer any questions concerning contest applications or procedures. Anchovies may he brown-bagged. A dorm decoration contest will highlight the Falderal celebrations on Thursday. A panel of four town students and three faculty members will judge the dorm with the best decoration having to do with Falderal. Town students will be judging so that there will be no charges of bias. according to contest coordinator Betty Godfrey. The winning dorm will be announced on Saturday afternoon. Any decoration will be acceptable as long as it represents the theme of Falderal, a bit of nonsense, indicated Ms. Godfrey.
