The Old re slowly being replaced by mechani now being simplified by the console seems the "personal touch" is almost Traffic Problem Serious The installation of p a rk in meters on Bull Street has prove< rto be the first move in the annua rclassic - the Carolina parking problem. Faculty Committee, which wil meet early next week to considea the parking problem, said the in tstallation of meters was necessar3 to prevent double parking on Bul Street so that visitors and mer picking up dates would have avail e able parking spaces. e The committee will meet earll r next wveek to discuss possibli -solutions for the burgeoning cam pus traffic and decreasing amoun1 -. of available space due to physica ni expansion. -Present plans call for the allot I ment of parking spaces behinc i Buildings K and L to faculty anc - administration f i r s t, then t< f marriedl students, and the remain. der to undecrgraduates. I The same plan will be followed a for the parking facilities locatec r beside McMaster School and the a Engineering Building. Solutions for the space probleni dlebated last year, and still under c-onsidleration, are the condemna tion and razing of housing below Blossom Street for the construec tion of parking areas, and the re striction of cars on campus to upperclassmen. A new answver to the dilemma at least on Bull Street-may be to enforce the meters only from 2 p.m. until midnight, student gov-. ernent officers said. Members of the committee re quested that student vehicle op erators wvork wvith them toward a speedy rectification of the situa tion. oom All new construction was ready I or the fall semester except an addition to Currell College, which was delayed a few days.

Dial Contrary to popular demand, a c course on "the proper and precise c method of using the campus tele phone" is not being offered. However, students say this is ] not a bad idea. Throughout the t dormitories, bewildered students, t with telephones to their ears, I - stand blank-faced against the r walls in hopeless anticipation of dialing the correct number that will permit them to converse with 1 friends across campus. The new Centrex telephone ex change is one of the most progres sive ideas to become a reality at USC, according to officials. Not only has it simplified outside call ing but has increased the effi ciency of reaching campus num bers, and should reach its full 1 effectiveness when student users - become familiar with the system. The explanation given below is meant to yield partial help to those who have not yet reached a right number. Instructions for students who have room telephones: Outgoing Calls Students whose rooms are fur nished with telephones can make local city calls by lifting the re ceiver and listening for a dial tone. When the dial tone is re ceived, dial "9" for a second dial tone, then dial the desired tele phone number. All student tele phones are restricted from placing outgoing long distance calls. Incoming Calls Incoming calls can be received without aid of the operator. In placing a local call to the stu dents' rooms, the full seven-digit telephone number must be dialed. 1 Paid long distance calls can be received by the students; no longi 1,600 Frosh As 1962 Fal After exchanging bag and bag gage for rat caps and textbooks, some 1,600 freshmen are being as similated into the approximate total student body of 7,260. Upperclassmen whizzed through registration Tuesday with just a fewv cases of "registration blues." One new step was added to the registration process - a regis trar's check in Russell House and1( one wvas omitted, the photo graphing of students for I. D. cards. CaroLINa earned its name as milling students wvaited patiently -and impatiently for their turn' at registration tables. The system of upperclassmen registering the (lay before fresh men andl transfer studlents suc ceedled well, accordling to most p)articipating in the program. First - year studlents registered Wednesday, armed wvith campus maps and fortified with their first Russell House coffee and dough nuts. Because of a summer-long orien tation program, most of the new arrivals were acquainted with the university's general expectations andl aims. A late orientation pro gram wvas held Monday and Tues day for students wvho decided to enroll too late for regular orienta tion. Transfer students brought the total of new students to 2,000. Usual complaints of the heat, the lines, and overflowing classes were overshadowed by most of the students' comments that they found the whole process less time nanmino- and more efficiently - Domp >ia resident students to move on ampus, and have erased the "Noll 7acancy" housing problem of last i rear.
