Last year's total is estimated to have exceeded 2,900. Current registration now stands near 3,500 plus vehicles parked in the new garage. Recent completion of the garage provided an additional 573 reserved parking spaces. A waiting list for any future open spaces is 150 to 200 applicants long, Key said. Parking problems were an ticipated this year with increased student enrollment and the new ruling permitting freshmen to own cars. Key said, "As of yet, we haven't been able to detect any significant rise in the number of cars ticketed due to improper parking." Ticketing of illegally parked cars in student or faculty lots did not begin until Sept. 13. "Two large lots behind the Coliseum will accomnodate 1,000 automobiles," Key said. Student parking stickers are necessary in this area. An additional city-owned lot, adjacent to the Coliseum lots, rents spaces at 25 cents per day, he added.

Student Government Vice President Julianne Still told senators that if they do not put in a "fair share" of work -- attend Senate meetings, fulfill committee obligations, attend priortly hearings - - they would not get any priorities or benefits normally allotted. All senators are obligated to work on registration and ticket priorities for each semester and event. For this work, student representatives receive priorities. Formerly, Senators received a $50 stipend each semester. But priorities were substituted for the stipends with the understanding student officials must help in determining all priorities, ac cording to Student Government Secretary Kathy Jennings. Miss Still and Miss Jennings emphasized Senate attendance rules would be enforced strictly this school term. Senator Al Usher, represernting the Roost, was the first senator to be expelled from office for attendance rules violations. Usher attended no Senate meetings since his April election, according to Miss Jennings. Senators are permitted three absences during a term of office. Other senators were warned about missing more meetings. Bills concerning election of class officers and the status of the office of Student Government secretary were introduced. Twelve senators reintroduced a bill setting guidelines for election of class officers. Essentially the same as the original bill in. troduced last year by Miss Jennings, the new legislation provides impeachment procedures and states class officers will be respoVrsible to tha Stt plates, de4 Monday 2 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Tuesday 21 - 5:00 p.m. C Vehicle Regist 438 Mai The city plate will cost $ years.

The Senate passed the bill during its last term only to see it vetoed after a lengthy delay by then president Mike Spears. The Senate overrode the presidential veto but the date specified for officer elections had elapsed, necessitating a new bill with a new date. Senator Koger Bradford in troduced a bill to abolish the office of Student Government secretary. Bradford would have the secretary removed from executive status, lose all administrative power and become an appointive officer. According to the bill, the title of secretary would be abolished leaving only three student government officers. Functions of the present office of secretary include fiing Student Government directives, bills and memorandums in its library; scheduling programs for many committees; updating cabinet correspondence; attending Senate meetings and helping the vice president. If the Senate bill passes, a referendum would be required to make the constitutional change effective. No action was taken on either bill. Senators also received notebooks Blocking correction in Wednesday's Issue of the Gamecock, there was an error concerning the blocking of seats at the Carolina home games.

"There is no excuse for anyone to miss any bills." The Senate will meet at 5 p. m. Sept. 22 in the Russell House. Bifani says promoter 'disgusting In the wake of the Lee Michaels concert, which left many people disappointed, University Union President Ron Bifani wants to make it clear the concert was not a Union project. "The University Union had nothing to do with it," he said. "I think it's disgusting that MBA enterprises billed it as the University's first concert. The Impact of Brass was our first concert, and it was free. I think MBA was trying to mislead students." The fact that the concert was held in the Carolina Coliseum does not mean It was sponsored by the University . Any outside group can rent the use of the Coliseum, Bifani said. "Our only concerts this year wRi be Gordon Lightfoot, Dionne Warwick, the Gums Who, and McKendree Spring," he said. The Union wouldn't charge such " 'rip off' ptlces," Bifani said in reference to the cost of Michaels tickets. He said students get a discount in cost to a University Union concert. Bifanl was reuponding to an ad which appeared in the Sept. 10 Gameceditb 'ddd tad: "MBA (Cmansan sn pne 5).
