Tighter reommer GEORGE KEY ...sltuaton improving USC engin 090 0 joins inter BY BETSY WILCOX Of The Gamecock staff While away on a 23-day trip to Brazil, Richard Pool, professor of Engineering, taught his classes back at USC. He did all of his lectures for two courses on video tape for showing by a graduate student during his absence. Pool speaks fluenit lortuguese and was invited to be a member of a Latin America Scholarship Program of American Universities (LASPAU) Interview team. The organization sends students from various Latin American countries and sends them to universities in the United States to obtain ad vanced degrees. The interview team is composed of one American professor, one Brazilian Professor and one LASPAU representative. They interviewed 35 students from all over Brazil to determine if they would adapt to life in the United States, how much English language training is needed and if the LASPAU pre-selection process was adequate. LASPAU -candidates must be sponsored by their home university and guaranteed a teaching position Evaluation pi From Page One husband, and If she purchased the activity fees and acquired an ID card, then she could wait for her husband by gpj,ag. to a Russeli Correction In the Nov. 4 Issue of The Gamecock, It was stated that a bill proposed In the 'student senate called for all funds appropriated to the SGA teacher evaluation project revert to the Student Allocations Commission (SAC). Instead of having the funds revert to SAC, the bill proposes that funds be transferred to the SGA unallocated funds account. The Gatmeciock regrets the error. )arking re ided by c4 BY LEE POWELL Of The Gamecock staff The Parking Committee has passed several recommendations to be sent to USC President William H. Patterson, including several propolals for strict en forcement of new rules and tactics to help decrease the number of parking violations. One such recommendation calls for parking violations other than meter infractions, the fourth such violation would result in the loss of the parking decal for the remainder of the academic year. Although this recommendation would apply to faculty, staff and students, the faculty members of the Parking Committee voted in favor of it while the student members voted against it, ac cordmg to Johr Huffman, a student iering prof view team upon return. The Brazilian university must also provide travel money and English language training, LASPAU provides a daily living subsistence and the American university provides tuition. Pool said his "impressions are good," of the LAJPAU program. * "The pre-selection process is good and LASPAU students are generally number one or two in their classes. Former LASPAU students that I have talked to are very pleased with their Im pressions of the United States." In between his trips to airports, Pool managed to see a little of Brazil. He visited Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Recife, Vitorto, Manaus and Brasilia, the capital. In Brasilia he attended the dedication of the Thomas Jefferson Cultural Center and was invited to a reception at the American am bassadors house. In Manaus, one thousand miles from the mouth of the Amazon Riber he took an eight hour excursion up the river and swam in mid-river. He reported no problems with the piranhas. '0oject halted House movie, by going to the Golden Spur or the library or some' other establishment for the student. A strong point which Grayson brought out is that all these ser vices would be available to the student's spouse and at a reasonable price; plus they could wait for their spouse at a con venient place rather than somewhere else. The activity fees includes such things as tickets to games, en trance to Bell Camp and use of libraries. The bill was passed after little debate. strictions 3mmittee inember of the committee. Another significant recom mendation called for the towing away of unauthorized vehicles parked in spaces marked "Han dicapped" upon the first violation. A second violation of the same type would result in the loss of the parking decal for the rest of the academic year. Motorcycles received a -recommendation of their own. The recommendation allows for designated, clearly-marked parking places for motorcycles, and the regulation is to be strictly enforced. Huffman said he voted against this proposal because "motorcycles aren't hurting anything." If the recommendation is passed by Patterson, he added, motorcycles would not be allowed in existing random areas where they are now parked, giving the example of the place next to Humanities Classroom Building, where motorcycles flourish at the present time. George Key, head of Campus Security, told the committee he did not know exactly how many motorcycles are on campus. Huffman said if ecial places were made for mc .rcycles, their drivers would 3ro.sably face the same problem which automobile operators face-.wt enough places to go around. - Key said the University would lose about 750 now-existing parking places next year due to construction around campus. Key gave the explanation for his estimate. The construction of a new social sciences center behind Humanities would result in the loss of faculty parking spaces. He said there would also be a loss of student parking places in the block surrounded by Green, Henderson, Senate and Pickens Streets. He expects Un lose the places by July or August 1975. Plans to help ease the p:oblem include the construction of a parking garage on the block surrounded by Pendleton, Bull. Senate, and Pickens Streets, Key reported. He expects excavation for this project to begin "any day now."9 The problem itself is not as serious as people make it out to be, said Key. While there were about 250 available parking places at Booker T. Washington, he said the lot is never filled up. These spaces could and should be used, he said, and there was also a surplus of several hundred parking places at the Coliseum lots. Parking Is not as bad as people p icture it, noted Key, just within the University. .A proposal which would elisainate a few open parking spaces allowed for all places en the Lile Horseshoe to be used as reserned piacee In an effort to combat the petrking problems of the near future, the committee made arrangements for an ad ditional study of the problems by either their committee or some other "specially constituted committee. One recommendation which was not passed by the committee would haver established two separate parking commrittees--one for student parking and one for facult.y parking. Iluffmar.
