Seating Change Made At Paul Laird Field

A change in seating arrangements during football games will become effective during the homecoming game, Oct . 31.

Dr. Don Parham, Athletic Director, has announced that the west side of the stadium will be the designated side for the Savages and their fans . Savage fans have formerly been seated on the east side. but visitors will now be seated there.

Originally. the home fans were moved to the east side in order to balance people in the stands. Now, Parham says. the balance has gone the other way.

Parham also noted that the public address system hookups are on the west side of the stadium. " By moving the box, they will be able to see the presentations that are made periodically throughout the football season," he said . ·

During the homecoming game the middle section ·of the west side bleachers will be reserved for those pe rsons who attend the noon luncheon. No reserved seats will be honored during the final game of the season. Reserved seats have not been sold for the past two seasons.

Parham said that numbers are found on the west side bleachers . but are there because Durant High School games are played at Paul Laird Field . Reserved seats are sold for those games only .

· 'The East Cent ral Tigers will be the opposition during the homecoming game and that is a g reat rivalry." Parham said. " It is a great opportunity to change the seating arrangement , for what we think will be a real good change and one that will be pleasing to our team and our fans." he said .

• The. Senate Report by J im Gatliff

This week I' m going to discuss an emergency situation that affects many students at SOSU as well as students elsewhere in the nation . On September J6. 198L the United States Senate Labor-Health and Human Se-rvices-Education Appropriations Subcommittee made significant cuts.4> the budgets of the five sisters, Pell Grants, SEOG, NDSL. SSIG. and CWS. A substantial number of students at Southeastern are currently receiving financial aid from these program.

The cuts to Pell Grants significantly restricts eligibility level and could possibly affect 600.000 students currently eligible. Supplemental Grants (SEOG) will take a similar beating in the 1982-83 academic year . SEOG will be reduced by 42~o. affecting 270 ,000 students. There will be 143 .000 fewer recipients of National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)--many of us at SOSU receive aid from this program. State Student Incentive Grants (SSIG) will lose S26 million; this could eliminate 50.000 students and could create a crisis thro ughout many states. including Oklahoma.

When I told my roommate I was going to discuss budget cuts in the Senate Repon . he thought I was jumping the fence of the neat little pen of issues that Senate presidents are allowed to comment on. Maybe I am. I. however. am a post-sputnik child who thinks that cuts to education are about as tasteful as baby jokes (I'm basically conservative in everything else). What I'm really wanting to happen is that all of the students who are currently receiving aid from these p rograms write Wes Watkins. David Boren or Don Nickels and tell them you 're abo ut to get your aid cut -and you ace cl registered voter. The eighteen cent stamp could be worth hundreds of dollars .
