QUESTION: When will the Capstone parking lot be leveled?
Erosion has created deep crevices over half of the park
ing area.
ANSWER: According to Vice President of Business Affairs
Harold Brunton, USC plans to acquire all the north half
of the block on which Capstone is located. Additional
buildings are to be constrticted including a smaller com
panion dorm to Capstone. No efforts to finish the
grounds before construction are planned. The parking
lot, according to Brunton, "will not be paved for months
or possibly years."
However, realizing that the crevices on the lot are a
hazard to coeds parking there, he said, "a check of the
area will be made and efforts to alleviate the problem
will be taken as soon as possible." Brunton had not real
ized that the state of the lot had become a problem.
QUESTION: Why, after it was announced that football tic
kets could not be picked up in groups, were some dis
tributed that way for the Georgia game? One guy in
front of me had about 25 coupon books. Is the no-groups
Dolicy being discontinued?
ANSWER: Coach Bill Loving, director of student ticket
sales, said the new policy is for groups such as fraterni
ties to take their coupon books to the ticket office on
Tuesday nights, where they will be provided tickets.
During daily ticket sales, one student is not allowed to
pick up a group of tickets. Loving said one student can
get up to four tickets-with two coupon books and two
date books. Some persons were allowed to get several
tickets for the Georgia game because Pinkerton officials
did not know about the new rule, Loving said, but the'
officials have been instructed to discontinue the practice.,
QUESTION: Where can a student (transfer) find the words;
to the USC Alma Mater?
ANSWER: The words to the USC Alma Mater can be found
on the inside cover of the Carolina Community, a book
let published to acquaint students and faculty with the
available services, facilities, and rules of the Carolina
campus. Copies of this booklet are at the information I
table in the second floor lobby of Russell Ilouse.
