ASSOCIATION
Adriene Thornton, SGA Secretary, diligently
works to complete her daily tasks.
Senior SGA Vice-President, Howard Ford, will be
graduating soon, and as he leaves office he feels
that the toughest aspects of being SGA Vice-Presi­
dent were "learning to work with people and moti­
vating them to become involved in important is­
sues on campus."
An outspoken, inspirational, and fearless Benita Childs always stresses
the need for the student body to unify and tackle important issues on
the campus of Albany State College. She strongly feels that only
through the weapon of unification can progress ever be achieved.

Desperately in Need
One of the hottest issues of the
year centered around a simple
task, but under extenuating cir­
cumstances, the task of finding
an adequate parking space on
campus was about as easy as try­
ing to convince President Bush
that he would eventually have to
raise taxes. Read My Lips: I
want a Parking space. The con­
struction of new parking areas,
which was projected to be com­
pleted by the 1988 Fall Quarter,
quickly spilled into the 1989
Winter and Spring Quarters.
However, Construction has be­
gun and slowly but surely the
completion of the new parking
areas will be achieved. Until
then, I advise you to arrive on
campus early in the morning be­
fore 8:00 a.m. or else you will
have to"hit the Hill", if you
know what I mean.

Although long lines are very un­
popular, they are an inescapable
aspect of Registration Day.
