Also, many times people have pennies and not nickles or dimes.

It is felt that people would tend to underestimate the time they were away from their cars, resulting in an increased number of traffic fines. QUESTION: I understand that some other colleges and univer sities remove failing grades from transcripts when the grade is made up by good marks. I would like to know why USC does not do this. ANSWER: Rollin E. Godfrey, Di rector of Admissions and Regis tration, informed INQUIRY that prior to June, 1957, the hours carried on a failing grade were subtracted from a student's grade point ratio when it was made up. The failing mark was still recorded on the record, however. Now both grades are placed on the record and are used for GPR. QUESTION: Is it not poor public relations to charge visitors for parking in front of the Adminis tration Building? ANSWER: The reason visitors are required to pay for parking in front of the Administration Building is to help control traf fic turnover, INQUIRY was told by M. I). Tavenner, Director of Institutional Research. As there are between 8 and 12 parking spaces in this area, and in a normal (lay there are between :15 and 50 visitors to the build ing, the University must have sonic way to control spaces for these people. or ENDGIN DRADDI ,Continued expal of our military provides openin for virtually evi the most important decisions you consider career oppor Aircraft.
