The, :Undergraduate Student
Government Congress passed a
bill last' night requesting a Uni
versity Senate investigatiqn of
campus traffic problems and es
tablishing a USG committee to

vestigation should provide an
swers VS such questions as, "Why
are traffic fines so high?"-'and
"Why are cars stopped on Satur
day nights, when traffic is con
gested, to check the registration
of the car?"
Good said the study should also
answer the who, why and how's
of the establishment of campus
traffic regulations.
