The survey, held primarily
during spring semester regist
ration, indicated three major
areas of concern. Finding a
parking space was felt by most
students to be the major prob
lem for commuters.. The next
most often heard complaint was
the lack of communication
between the administration and
the students who did not receive
information through their
dorms. The third largest com
plaint was the relatively small
involvement of off-campus stu
dents in University activities.
As well as complaining about
the problems, many students
also offered possible solutions.
Concerning the parking situa
tion, the most frequent sugges
tion was the addition of more
shuttle buses to acommodate
the students parking in the out
lying campus areas, like the
Coliseum. Others suggested,
obtaining meters with longer
parking hours and converting
the Horseshoe into a parking
lot.
Dealing with the problem of
communications between com
muters and the administration,
many students suggested that
mailing the Gamecock or
notices of events to home
addresses might help. Several
students also wanted the
Gamecock dispersed at places
other than the Russell House.
Still others wanted a special
newspaper or newsletter
designed especially for off
campus students to be dis
tributed once each week. Stu
dents also said mailboxes
should be installed for off

campus students and local radio
stations should broadcast
notices of events for the infor
mation of these students.
Concerning the problem of
involvement of off-campus stu
dents in University affairs, the
most frequent solution was to
have more activities offered or
geared to these students, such
as offering movies in the after
noons, rather than only at night.
Other more specific sugges
tions were to give commuters
more of a chance to participate
in intramurals and to provide a
commuter lounge and study
room. Some requested special
planned events strictly for off
campus students and activities
for young married couples with
families.
General suggestions made in
reply to the survey included
keeping longer library hours,
putting wall lockers on campus
for books and materials and
creating new overnight bicycle
parking lots for students who do
not wish to transport their bicy
cles every day.
Some students also had some
specific gripes. Some think the
administration is not receptive
to the needs of coummuters,
classes are too large, advise
ment forms were mailed late,
and students are denied equal
opportunity to enroll in courses
at registration.
Others said commuters need
stronger representation in stu
dent government, stronger off
campus government, more
involvement in the planning of
buildings and the planning of
curriculum, and more pul$icity
about yearbooks, fraternities
and sororities.
