The Student Association Mass Transit Board adviser will pass some responsibilities to a vice-chair next fall.

Senators approved the new position at Sunday’s SA meeting, but members did not agree on whether the position would be paid.

Board Adviser Dave Pack said the chair should not be paid until 1991, because it is a new position and should be evaluated and proven valuable.

Applications for the chair are being accepted in the SA office until Wednesday, Pack said. The candidate will be selected by the board adviser and approved by the senate, he said.

“We need a vice-chair. There is just too much going on with the mass transit board,” said board member and Sen. Todd Allen.

Pack also said he does not want to exclude active senators from the position, so he is asking the senate not to make it an executive position.

The chair would head the board’s long range planning committee and act as a second hand reference for the board, he said.

At Monday’s board meeting, members considered reversing the Huskie Bus Line Route 6 to avoid construction, which begins this summer at the intersection of Lincoln Highway and Annie Glidden Road.

But because a variety of proposals and changes would be necessary to make this change, board members asked Pack to use his executive powers this summer to make any changes within Route 6.

Left hand turns will be illegal at the intersection, Pack said. “It’s going to be a mess,” he said.

The construction will widen Lincoln Highway to four lanes past the water tower, leaving only a one-lane temporary access road.
