The assembly as a body expressed support for this cause. Jessica Brown `98 suggested that the RA use some of its own budget to build a ramp on campus (ramps cost from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the size and type). "If we did that we could kill the administration with the PR" said Rob Curtis `98, speaking in favor of the idea.

"I really can't believe that the school is having that hard a time keeping its head above water when I see some of the events [like harvest dinner]," continued Draper, asking why the college seemed to be reluctant to build more ramps. He also expressed concern that the college was overpaying for the ramps that it did build. In response to the first statement, David Leiber `98 announced that there are plans currently underway to boycott the Harvest Dinner over such concerns that the college's financial priorities are misplaced.

The Assembly voted to form a committee on handicapped access that will investigate and report back to the RA in a few weeks. The committee will look at the feasibility of the various ideas proposed and any others that may arise. Students interested in serving on this committee (or any other) should contact the RA office in Chase Hall.

In other business:

The RA seated three new members of the Committee on Committees by unanimous vote. The new members are: Adam Hoffman `99; Anne Hollis `01; and Lena Sene `00.

There was a call for members who were willing to serve on the Parking Appeals and Parking Policy Committees, as well as the Joint Commission on Alcohol.

Three students, Curtis, Brown and Rob Pelkey `98, were appointed as the RA representatives to faculty meetings. Seven students per week are allowed to attend the meetings. In addition to the RA representatives, one is allowed from the Student and three from the general college community who may sign up at the Registrar's office each week.

The RA meets at 7 p.m. most Monday nights; all are welcome to attend and speak. The major business for next week's meeting is expected to be the seating of various student/faculty committees. Candidates will be chosen this weekend by the Committee on Committees.
