The administration of both in stitutions have expressed regrets for the incidents. An official Carolina spokesman said: "The total effect of the epi sodes was to smear the physical properties of two of South Caro lina's finest institutions with un sightly paint and to lower their dignity as well.

New parking lots, a 55 auto mobile registration fee, more parking meters and new routing of traffic on Bull Street will aid Carolina's increasing traffic prob lems. When South Tower is completed and Bull Street is re-opened the traffic will move only to the south. The one-way policy pro posedl by the University has been, approved by the City of Columbia.

This pushes the total parking spaces available to studlents to about 500.

"We are trying to look to the future of our fast-growing Caro lina," he commented.
