VOL. LXII - NO. 16 University of South Carolina. Columbia, S. C. 2920A WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1971 Parking PosE Repi Concerned about the lack of student awareness of campus parking problems has been ex pressed by Bob Brooks, student representative to the appellate court and the parking committee. As a member of the appellate court, Brooks said he would like to see many more students appealing their tickets. He emphasized there was at least a 50-50 chance of the fine's being overturned and said the recent trend has been to dismiss 80 t o 90 per cent. There are three people on the appellate court representing the student body, the faculty and the administration, Brooks said. Since the summer session, however, there has not been an ad ministration member, he added. The purpose of the committee is not to determine guilt or in nocence, Brooks said, but to consider extenuating cir Lucy the brat (Gall Cook condones another Beethoven the piano-playing Schrof Luques) in a rehearsal "You're A Good Man, Chat 'Charlie J at USC '] A delightful musical about the kid from the "Peanuts" comic st rip who never won a ball game is playing this week on the stage of the USC Trheatre.

The court can also hear a case only if the car is registered, the representative said, urging students to register their vehicles before appealing their tickets. If a student wishes to appeal, he must fill out an appeal form within 72 hours after he received the ticket, Brooks said. Saturday, a Sunday and holidays are not in cluded in this period, he added. Appeal forms are available at the Security Police Office and will be sent to the appellate court when completed, he said. Brooks emphasized six points which he said would help students with cars: (1) The meters at South Tower and South Building are now ope rating on a half-hour basis and are being enforced until midnight daily. (2) If your car develops some kind of trouble, call Campus "harlie Brown' ki } reluctantly which opens rendition by through Satur der (Mike limited numb scene from first USC TI -lie Brown,"' season.

" Tfc i'h'dtia o res awa The committee's purpose is to make recommendations con cerning parking problems, but Brooks says the group is unaware of the urgency of the parking situation. He urges students with a com plaint to write him so he can present concrete evidence of student concern. He can be con tacted through the Student Government office. "Hopefully," he said, "a ground swell will grow and f9rce the committee into action." He said he has been unable to obtain a physical plant projection for coming years or any in formation concerning debts in curred by recent expenditures. All student fines, meter payments and registration fees go into a sinking fund which pays for new construction. Brooks says he wants to know exactly what this debt is and if there is any Number as lottery The Selective Service System announced that Random Sequence Number 125 would be the military induction number for young men in the 1971 first priority selection group. This group consists of registrants born in 1951 or earlier who received lottery numbers in 1970 or 1969 and are available for induction during 1971. The Department of Defense announced a 10,000 draft call for the remainder of 1971. Draft Director Dr. Curtis W. Tarr said Selective Service local boards would deliver 6,500 of these men in the period Nov. 1-18 and the remaining 3,500 in the period Nov. 29 - Dec. 9. Tarr said he has directed local boards to give at least 30 days notice to all registrants facing the induction process in coming months. Current draft regulations require 10 days notice. Tarr said the uniform national call provision of the new draft law assures every young man in the 1971 group who is 1-A and qualified with a RSN of 125 and below that he will receive an Induction notice in the near future. Trarr said some of these men will' enter the Army in January, February or March of ne yar reness reasonable chance of its being paid by the current student body. He said there is a "time-lag" whereby each generation of students is paying for the debts created by the preceding. There is a need for new sources of money because the amount of revenue resulting from ticket fines is decreasing, Brooks said. He wants a student-faculty committee to begin exploring possibilities as soon as possible, but said he has not been granted access to any of the University's plans for solving the problem. Vice-President of Business Affairs Harold Brunton Jr., is responsible for the financial end of constructing any new facilities, the representative said, adding he will not reveal the available monetary resources. Brooks says the problem is so critical that immediate attention is needed, to avoid a hopeless di lemma in five years. 125 set ceiing because of the extended liability provisions of the Selective Service regulations "'Equity of treatment for all registrants requires that all men with RSNs of 125 or lower face the' induction process," Tarr said. RSN 125 was the ceiling for induction through June 1971. Tarr also said he has directed local and appeal boards to defer all actions on classifications, personal appearances and appeals until new regulations containing draft reform provisions are ef fected. The 1971 amendments to the draft law which were recently passed by Congress require t'he Selective Service System to publish all regulation changes in the Federal Register at least 30 days before they become effective. *Notice !
