The Student Assembly last night announced an arrangement with the registrar's office to increase the availability of the office during the lunch hour.
In the report from the student services committee, Dominic LaValle '99 announced that committee member Susan Barbour '00 met with Registrar Thomas Bickel to discuss increasing student access to the registrar's office.
"There is limited regular service from 12 to 1," LaValle said, but currently no one can access computer records during that time.
At the beginning and end of next term and perhaps at the end of this term, the registrar's office will increase the number of services available between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m., LaValle said.
LaValle said he hopes this arrangement will pave the way for similar arrangements with other offices to increase student access.
Steve Salemi '97, vice president of the student life committee, said plans to purchase more exercise equipment for the weight room have been put on hold because the prices of equipment were "astronomical."
"We may be able to purchase a few small things in the meantime with discretionary money," Salemi added.
Assembly President Jon Heavey '97 said at the beginning of last night's meeting the Assembly's funding for next year will not be cut substantially by the Undergraduate Finance Committee.
In his report, LaValle also said his committee is looking into the policy of all residence hall doors but one being locked.
In addition, LaValle said they were looking to install more BlitzMail computers in the Collis Center and the Hopkins Center.
Vice President of the Communications Committee Jonah Sonnenborn '99 said brochures detailing the schedule of Assembly-sponsored buses to New York City and Boston were distributed to students' Hinman boxes yesterday.
During the report from the administration and faculty relations committee, Scott Jacobs '99 discussed a recent trip to Brown University for a meeting of the Ivy Council, a collection of student representatives from other Ivy League schools.
Jacobs said the Ivy Council discussed ways to communicate to prospective college students their dislike for college rankings such as those in U. S. News and World Report.
