Finally, he did his last number. t was a piece of overwhelming ower and beauty. In it he played >oth necks of a double necked guitar. He had some sort of .quipment he activated that crambled and heightened the ;ound as the wizard might open hat scarred leather pouch to let go ill of the sound in the world. He ,vent on and on and then with a novement of his hand on the six stringed neck, it all stopped. He left the stage after saying he would see everyone soon. It was twenty minutes until midnight and the audience was too drained to call for an encore. Someone said after the concert, "I don't think I want to see the Byrds tomorrow night, anything after Phillips would be a down, no matter how good they were."

A research team from the USC Traffic and Transportation Center will begin a study in the fall to answer that question. The USC Center has received a $98,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the project. "Our study will be in two parts," Dr. John Wilftms, research direcotr at the center said. "We will examine the feasibility of two types of transportation systems, an exclusive bus lane and a rapid rail, and we will conduct extensive interviews with residents of the Dutch Fork area." Williams said some 2,000 residents of the area, which ex tends north of Columbia along Interstate-26 will be interviewed to find attitudes on a rapid tran sportation system and also to determind traveling behavior such as how many times they come to Columbia each day and what time they come. Evaluation studies on the two proposed systems of rapid tran sportation will be done to deter mine installation costs, main tenance and service costs and user desirability, Dr. Williams said. "The exclusive-lane bus system," he said, "would operate by reserving one lane of the in terstate for bus use only, thus allowing the buses to make fast trips into the city." "The rapid rail system," Williams continued, "could be run on the railroad tracks that already exist along 1-26. This method could possibly bring passengers into the proposed transportation center in Columbia." This proposed center, he said, will probably be built somewhere near the State Capitol.
