A temporary parking lot on the athletic field adjacent to.the .police station is planned, and should be ready in a few weeks, Brunton stated. He also said that the Uni versity was going ahead with im mediate plans for a multi-level parking garage to be completed "dno sooner than next fall." The garage would be located in the parking lot on Blossom Street across from Fraternity Row. "We received bonding permis sion last year in the legislature based on expected parking reve nues," Brunton said.

According to Student Senate's plan setting up two priority groups, any student may request early registration. If eligible, he will be classed either priority A (seniors) or priority B (under classmen). The Senate proposal received administration a p p r o v a 1 before Christmas recess. It provides stu (lent control over the granting of priorities. The bill, introduced in Senate by Chip Galloway, states that, "such student control would pro mote better relations during regis tration," and "such student ac tivity would stimulate a stronger interest in the governing of the University." A five-member student commit tee chaired by Galloway will heir requests for priority this week. The committee will meet in the Student Government office today from 12 to 1:30 and from 5 to 6; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3 to 5; and Monday and Tuesday of next week. The committee also includes Vicki Eslinger, Julianne Still, Carlton Larmon, and Baran Rosen. A member of the student affairs office and a representative of the registrar's office will meet with the group, advising the committee, but not voting on selections. Priority A, seniors, starting at Escort Sc Is Begun Carolina coeds having to walk across campus alone now have someone waiting to escort them. Alpha Phi Omega, national ser vice fraternity, has begun an es cort service to see coeds to their faction' menu. "The underlying gripes are the service, the poor q u a I i t y food (which may be caused by poor preparation), andl the prices," the statement said. Twenty- three spec ific grievances were spelled out. In addition, the statement asked that one cafeteria he open throughout the school year andl that students be able to par ticipate in the board plan upon immediate arrival at school. Student body presidlent Salane saidl he was interestedl in seeing the food service's written replies to grievances. I certainly hope we see some thing (lone, and I think we will," Salane said.
