Parking st
liy HARRY HOPE
Columnist
It would seem that a conspiracy
is underfoot to force students into
buying student parking decals.
The part of Devine Street behind
the Coliseum has recently been
paved. Earlier this week the curbs
were painted a vivid yellow, which
means "no parking anytime."
Students who had been ac
customed to parking on this street
now find it necessary to park
behind the Coliseum parking lot,
-which means it takes longer to get
to class. If students can't park in
the street, they may be forced to
buy decals, but who wants to pay
$10 for something he doesn't really
want.or need?

original bill to allow posters was
defeated as well.
The problem seOm to be that the
senate insists on acting as a
committee of the whole and
writing its legislation on the floor
of the senate. Quite naturally,
when 40 or so people get together
and try to produce a closely
reasoned document that says what
they mean to say, the product
comes out, if at all, in nearly
unusable form.
The bill to allow posters in the
election is a perfect example. In
fact, one of the originators of the
bill abstained in the roll call vote
that defeated it. He commented
after the senate adjourned that he
felt he could not vote either way
and be a party to sloppy
legislation.
The senate has already done a
grave disservice to the students it
represents by making a farce of
itself before the administration,
faculty and anyone else that
bothers to notice it.
It is no wonder that many
students consider their govern
ment irrelevant. They can't see
what the administrative branch is
doing, and what they see of the
senate makes them wish they
hadn't looked.
Granted, many of the members
of the senate are new, but if the
senate doesn't grow up very soon
and start acting in the best in

Letters to the edi
Alternati'
Dear Miss Manning:
I have just spent the last hour
looking for a parking place. If I had
had more than 4 cents in my
pocketbook, I might have been
able to afford to pay a meter.
(Ever notice that meters around
campus do not take pennies? Oh
no! We have high-class meters that
take only nickels, dimes, or
quarters!) I live on campus and I
am working to help pay my ex
penses - I cannot afford the ex
pense of feeding meters every hour
or so.
There are alternatives: (1) I
could pay a $10 fee which would
allow me to park in one of the
"student" lots. These lots are so
far from the dorms that they are
made for anything but students,
especially women. If I take
alternative number one, I get the
extra thrill of playing the game
called "Can I make it to the car (or
to the dorm) before I get at
tacked?" But, the administration
will argue, "That game is usually
played only after 'dark-Carolina
women shouldn't be out at night
unescorted." Is this practical?
Remember that it begins to
become dark at 5 p.m. on winter
afternoons. Some of us work late in
the afternoon; some of us have
night classes, and otiiers par
ticipate in various activities which
keep us out later than 5. If one
parks in a student lot after dark,
one runs the risk of being robbed,
beaten, or raped before making it
to the dorm.
(2) I could not pay the $10 fee and
try to find a parking place without
a meter - which are few and far
apart. The closest to South Dorm
are next to Booker T. Washington,
on Green Street towards Five
Points, on the steep hills and down
by the old tennis courts. Here we
run into the same problems at
night. The walk is even further and
more dangerous these days if one
parks in the College Street, Pen

D)ear Miss Manning:
Wednesday, I was overjoyed
when I received a letter in my USC
post office box. It was from a good
friend who invited me to another
friend's wedding.
I merely wish to thank the U S
C Post Office for their most ef
ficient service. The wedding oc
curred over a month ago. The
letter was postmarked from Aiken,
S. C. on September 1, 1970.

areas.
(3) My other alternative is to
play the game in which most
Carolina students are involved. It
is called "Beat The University
System". There are several ways
to play: (a) learn the police and
meter maid routes. Know when
they are coming and act ac
cordingly by playing on their
sympathy, moving your car to
another meter further back along
their route or use some other plan
of escape. (b) Know where the
broken meters are. Use them. (c)
Prop the hood of your car up and
leave a note saying that you have
gone to the garage. (d) Get your
ticket and refuse to pay. Some
people don't get caught, but they
are very lucky.
The University is supposed to be
here for our benefit. It seems that
we are here for the benefit of the
state's University. Why should'
there be meters in the University
areas at all? Does the University
make so much money off of us
through the meters that it can't do
without them? If it can't live
without this money, can the meter
charges be lowered to suit student
budgets?
Last year I commuted to class
and I missed several because it
takes so long to find a parking
place. Today I would have missed
another had I had a class
scheduled between 1 and 2 p.m.
Let me offer a solution; since I
feel that criticism which offers no
solution is sometimes irrespon
sible: The University seems to be
mainly contained within the area
from Pendleton to Blossom from
north to south, and from lower
Main to Pickens from west to east.
Take out all the meters within this
area, purchase a parking permit
sticker for $5-$10, and give tickets
to any car parked in this vicinity
which does not bear the official
parking permit. Not knowing
exactly how strongly or where the
parking meter money figures in
the U. S. C. budget at this time, I do
not know how feasible this plan is,
but it certainly ,does seem prac
tical to me.

Dear Miss Manning:
In the 1970 edition of the
"Carolina Community" which is
passed out to entering freshmen
and transfer students, the Student
Government proudly proclaims
itself as the champions of the in
dividual student and the creator of
a fair ticket distribution plan based
on class standing.
However, after working my way
from the end zone around the
corner, I am now, as a senior,
proudly taking my seat at the 15
yard line. During the halftime at
the last home game while I was
trying (without much success) to
wa tch the exciting halftime show, I
began to wonder who was sitting
between me and the fifty yard-line
where the student section begins.
In my brief investigations since
then, I've found two main fallacies
in the ticket distribution plan.
