Julie Sorrels participates in the spring elections in which Harold Melton became the first black SGA President by a landslide vote. Excellence Students were always striving for excellence in everything they did for the university. The communications organizations were struggling to provide the best events and publications for other students on their limited budgets. Student leaders requested that the amount of student activity fee money for student organizations be made a percentage of tuition, automatically increasing available funds as tuition increased. Greeks raised money for many worthy charities. From band party fundraisers to the Kappa Alpha Theta Love Auction greeks helped out the less fortunate. Each greek organization was attempting to change for the better. Students voted in the first black SGA President by a record 65% of the vote. They also passed a resolution to add eight dollars to tuition to provide funds for an aquatic complex. But the administration did not feel the University could afford the facilities and did not act on the resolution. Student parking became a free-for-all race for parking spaces when all students were given the same parking permit. With such limited parking available and more cars being registered each year the university police felt that one sticker for all students was the most feasiable plan. Were the changes made beneficial to Auburn? Did we not only strive for but achieve a higher standard of excellence? The question was left to you. It was a question of excellence.
