The Undergraduate Student Government voiced opposition Wednesday to a University Housing decision, which makes Neely Hall the only over-21 dorm for Fall 1996, through a resolution which calls for a similar dorm to remain in Thompson Point.

A resolution supporting the construction of an intramural-recreational sports complex equip with lighting was also passed at the meeting.

USG President Duane Sherman gave his full support to the resolution opposing Neely Hall, located at University Park, as the only over-21 dorm.

If there is a need for over-21 housing, then keep it on both sides of the campus, Sherman said.

Over-21 students are currently housed in Allen Halls, located in University Park and Warren Hall, located in Thompson Point. The Housing plan for next year only allows Neely to house over-21 students.

David Vingren, Thompson Point senator and author of the resolution, said USG and his constituents are asking for Housing to reserve two floors at any of the dorms on Thompson Point for older students.

Vingren said he will personally be talking with Jones about the resolution later this week.

The resolution supporting the construction of the intramural-recreation complex calls for recreation fee increase of $11.20 to be paid by the students over two semesters. This resolution will now go to the Board of Trustees for approval.
