Key said a vital part of al campus planning under Vice President for Business Affairs Harold Brunton, was the con sideration of parking space. The parking commit tee makes general recommendations to Key and he advises Brunton as to what space is needed.

Key said Brooks has no: attended a single meeting. Key said it would be necessary for parking facilities to be located on :he periphery of the campus as the University becomes con cen:rated in its limited space. He said students must realize they canno: park in the center of campus. Money for all new construction comes entirely from meter payments. registration fees and fines. Key said. The University appropriates no funds for facilities. The University, however, does pay for overhead and main :enance. An example of the amount of money involved in a new building, Key said each garage Wallace Martin, vice-president of development (of private support). Martin explained that, "This is a serious, earnest group. We want everyone to know that we are not acting as a roadblock or to be restric tive, but to create an orderly procedure that will enable clubs and organizations to get support." A type of United Fund has been established. Each school or college can make a case concerning what they will do with the money if they receive Russia views . President Nixon will visit Moscow next May. "This an nouncement is another indication that the cold war is at an end," USC Russian history professor Dr. John D. Basil, said. The professor says Nixon is changing from the cold war tactics Ii idequate parking space is wort h about $1.500 in construction costs. In order to pay for itself. it would be necessary it. charge student $15 per month to park there. Only $20 per semester is charged and Key said he thought this is qui:e reasonable for a covered enclosure with police patrols. He said the Security Department makes no profit from any of the fees s: udents pay. All the money is direc:ed towards new building and described the new garage as a test o see if such a project would be accepted by students. Since it has been. Key said, the way is open for :he Pickens Street garage. He said there presently was a cri:ical parking space shortage and attributed this to the It. Any student of faculty member can also enter into the campaign for fund support. To have funds appropriated, an organization should appeal to the Evaluation Committee, an inner committee headed by professor James Black. This committee refers the request to the full committee. It would then go to President Jones and the Board of Trustees for approval. This will greatly help programs to receive the funds they need.

Allowing freshmen to have cars also has aggravated the problem. Key said. This semester. 6.454 registration decals were issued to the faculty, s:aff and student body. There are 4.616 parking spaces on campus, but Key said all the cars were never on the campus at the same :ime.
