Dear President Carter, Help! Do You Know How Reaganomics Works? Dooley's arrival was greeted by applause and cheers, but the first of the many laughs of the evening erupted when his slogan was said prior to him shaking Carter's hand: Presidents may come, and Presidents may go Laughter abound- ed as President Jim- my Carter answered the question submit- ted by senior Bill Combs at the Town Hall meeting on Oc- tober 6, 1982. s 24 Town Hall Meeting Vincent Emory's newest Distinguished Professor was not lecturing lat least it wasn't billed as suchl. But instead, the former president found himself before a Glenn-filled student body. To equalize everyone's chances of their ques- tion being answered, paper and pencils were dis- tributed and later placed inside a lottery bin. The noisy anticipation amidst murmurings of What do I ask? was intensified by the unexpected but certainly welcomed arrival of Dooley and his body- guard who sat front row center, waiting also for the town hall meeting to begin. It began with l like Coca-Cola and laughter, lCarter's reason for deciding upon Emoryl. He talked about Reagan's budget and analyzed Hamil- ton Jordan's book. We heard jokes: I was trying to think of someone else beside Phil Niekro lin response to Marc Frankel's question of the great- est Americanl. We heard an honest appraisal and his considerations on his decisions about the hos- tage crisis when he answered Bill Yerman's ques- tion lthere was an initial wave of whisperings as Dean Fox read itl. Perhaps it was fate lor Dean Fox's handl that left the twenty-second question for last: What can we do as a community for you? The media was again on our campus as Monica Kaufman and News Services Director Julia Hoye check over last minute details. 7' 4 , . .- 9 4 1 I ,, .12 , 92 ,., Q -Ja , '-1:9 is Z1 M- , vii sir' , 1 ig 'V --we grey- ' f

Everywhere Signs With over two hundred parking spaces eliminated by the construction on cam- pus, parking became a serious problem at Emory. Even though a 875 space parking lot was to be finished in the Peavine area, in 1983, that did not solve the students' problems this school year. Students dealt with the situation in dif- ferent ways. Some found other means of transportation lbus, walking, bicyclingl rather than hassle with parking while oth- ers formed car pools with friends who had similar schedules. Still others were forced to leave home twenty to thirty minutes earlier in the hope of finding a space. Virginia Cope, a sophomore, re- marked on the situation: I was late to class a lot, because I had to tour the campus for forty-five minutes. And re- ceived four tickets, because the only spaces I could find were either number one or two! Many people argued that the S65 car registration fee was an awfully steep price to pay compared to the previous years' fee of S45, especially since a park- ing space is not guaranteed. Others paid the additional S27 for a Fishburne park- ing deck card lwhich did not go up in pricel because of the assurance of a park- ing space. Many students hope that the additional parking will benefit them before their graduation so that the troubles suffered this year will somehow be amended. Ellen Pastorino Shortages f 23
