steps to accommodate as many students as possi le. The demo rooms, used to show prospective students and parents what a typical dorm loo s li e, were converted into via le rooms or students to live in. Southeast also made arran ements with Candlewood Suites hotel and turned the entire ourth oor into a ma eshi t residence hall.

Appro imately 48 students will e stayin at the hotel, which is

located on South Mount Au urn Road near nterstate 55. These students, all o whom volunteered or the rooms at Candlewood, will e livin in an odd com ination

payin or a meal plan, said rian elly a raduate assistant

or Candlewood. They ll coo their own ood.

All the rooms come urnished with a widescreen T , stove, microwave and dishwasher.

owever, the students livin at the hotel still will e re uired to ollow the rules applied to the residence halls, such as no alcohol and noise restrictions.

There are several lon -term solutions to the housin over ow situation, S inner said. ne o these is the potential hotel on the River Campus. This hotel, proposed y Southeast

resident r. enneth . o ins this sprin , would

create 100 additional eds and would serve as a residence hall in the school year and as a hotel in the summer months.

oo in even urther ahead,

S inner said that the num er o hi h school seniors will decrease over the ne t ve to 10 years.

Most o our uildin we do throu h a ond process, which are 30-year onds. ou need to e a le to loo out and see what we are oin to e at 10 or 12 years rom now, S inner said. ou

with us. t s a i chan e.Accordin to Coon, practices

under the old coachin sta were more individual, which caused separation etween the team and the coaches. The teams practices now have a ocus on team drills, which inherently ma es the players more competitive.

ood volley all shape, instead o ust runnin , ossey said.

The Redhaw s haven t had a winnin season since 2007 and have had three winnin seasons out o the past 10.

THINKPARKING dilemma over new ordinance

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ON THE OUTCOME OF THE PARKING ORDINANCE, AND DO YOU THINK IT IS FAIR TO STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS?

e ra TracyCity Councilwoman

Â rmly elieve it is the responsi ility o the City o Cape irardeau alon with her residents and Southeast Missouri State University and its students to maintain respect, consideration and an appreciation o our rela-tionship as ood nei h ors.

At any iven time and place when there is a concentrated num er o people in a iven area, it can e pro lematic to maintain the inte rity o such an area. also elieve that it is air and reasona le to e pect inte rity to e maintained not only in relationships ut also in spatial environments.

The point at hand is the inte rity o the Southeast campus and the nei h orhoods which share

oundaries, most recently the istoric oulevard

istrict. ur common interests are sa ety, unctionality, aesthetics

and service to constituents. inancial and practical

solutions to common pro lems must wor themselves out in measured e orts which attempt to achieve oth our common and respective oals.

elieve it is oth air and reasona le to ad ust par in re ulations with all people and thin s considered e pectin that the wholistic outcome will result in an overall improvement in oth our relational and spatial environment.

The e orts o maintainin oundaries,

alance and ene ts ta es constant re-evaluation in an environment that is esta lished and yet vi rant,

rowin and e pandin . The tensions involved must e channeled into

sa e uardin the interests o lon term residents alon with transient visitors.

The current ordinance or the istoric oulevard

istrict is the outcome o evaluatin the pro lems, needs and desires o our nei h orhood in an attempt to recover some

reathin room in a hi hly con ested area. t is my hope that less con estion will contri ute to a nei h orhood ene t, which will enhance not only the homes, the streets and the investments around the university ut will enhance the university community itsel .

am loo in orward to continued discussion with re ard to our nei h orhood relations. Than you or the invitation to participate in this dialo ue and welcome to our eauti ul historic nei h orhood

TERP I T •ri Discussion of ordinance excluded students

e MorrowSoutheast Senior

ÂMayor arry Redi er recently released a let-ter welcomin Southeast Missouri State Univer-sity students ac rom their summer rea s.

Some chan es occurred in par in ordinances while the students were away that a ect them directly.

n the streets o ar , Normal and i hland Avenue, no one will e a le to par etween the hours o a.m. and 3 p.m.

n est nd oulevard no one will e a le to par etween the hours o 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Not coincidentally, these hours collide with the times that most students will e in their classes on campus.t s no secret that many

students on campus as well as commuters have dod ed re isterin to par on campus in part due to money, convenience or con estion on the already crowded campus.

To ease the issues with par in directly on campus, many students would par on the a orementioned streets.

owever, a resolution

was passed on Au . 1 and amended on Au . 1 , when students were not even present to voice their discontent, was passed.

n oin construction on Academic all and other areas throu hout campus will close o still more par in spaces availa le to students and aculty, increasin the pressure on students to nd places to par with area streets no lon er accessi le either.

Many students will have to par urther away rom campus, carpool

with riends or see other means to et to their classes on time.

Ta in issue with the act that residents understanda ly want to

eep their roadways clear rom masses o colle e

students is pointless. The pro lem that truly needs to e addressed is how the city o Cape irardeau has chosen to preempt any discussion with Southeast students a out this issue in a ashion that

roadcasts the contempt that area residents hold with students o the school.

The city ene ts reatly nancially rom our ein

here and the prospects

o the casino currently in development would e

lea without the num er o customers the university will li ely provide.

nly desirin the ene ts o students economic presence without wantin us to e seen or heard ma es us little etter than indentured servants or economic prostitutes or the city o Cape irardeau. Mayor Redi er claims that the city appreciates the presence o the student population ecause it

rin s an estimated 1 million to the city or every 100 students, which is

10 . 5 million to the city. n the same reath, he

encoura es students to e cel in their studies in the hopes that many will choose Cape irardeau as their places o permanent residency, nowin that a population o colle ially-educated citi ens will

enerate si ni cant revenue or the area.

The est way to incentivi e students to settle here may not e to treat them as trou lesome outsiders while assurin them that they re appreciated or the dollar value they rin to the city.
