Student estimates for the other campuses are Aiken--320, Lan caster--280, Coastal Carolina-348, Beaufort--120, Salkehatchie--80 and Union--224. This is the last year for the Florence regional campus. Gov. Robert E. McNair signed into law June 20 an act that would change the Florence campus into Francis Marion State College July 1, 1970. This year the regional campus is offering a few advanced courses and is planning the ad dition of a junior year next fall. The University will continue to operate the campus through the second semester of summer school although it will then be a separate college. Francis Marion State is the only school under a newly-created-four year state college board. McNair last year asked the legislature to implement a recommendation from the Moody Report that the eight regional campuses of the University and Clemson University's two regional campuses be put under a two-year college board. The report also recommended that new four-year commuter state colleges be established in Greenville-Spartanburg. Florence and Charleston. Florence was the first University regional campus. Spartanburg, now the largest and the most recent, was opened after the closing of the nursing program at Spartanburg General Hospital. The regional campus moved a few weeks ago to multi million dollar facilities north of the city.

Of the 5,000 cars around the campus, about 2,500 are registered, according to Fit zgerald. MORE SPACES Spaces have been added since last year, Fitzgerald said. One hundred and eighty five spaces were added to the Roose, 124 to Bates House and an increase in the number of decal lots to make up the 1,469 total. More parking spaces are ex pected to be available for the basketball season, directly behind the Coliseum, Fitzgerald said.

The rule also states that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is not prohibited in private living quarters, provided each participant is 21 or over. The regulations do not apply to any public areas, including Carolina stadium. Alcoholic Beverage and Control agents will again be on the prowl for fans with alcoholic beverages.
