Seigler were consolidated into tho-se of the New Presidential Advisory Committee on Parking NPACP. chaired by Barry Rsen. assistant to the President. In a letter to President Patterson in April of this year, the NPACP recommended priority faculty staff parking based on seniority, a s,hift to faculty-staff pay parking k ith most faculty-staff parking moved to the Blossom and Pen dleton Street garages), relocation oi student parking to the south and west portions of campus Coliseum. Police, and Bates lots and the use of shuttle busses), a fee status for the Columbia Hall Capstone lots (student), a fee basis for the McMaster and BA lots ifactilty-staff), and the metering of the 1600 College Street lot for students. East campus visitor parking would be moved to the Pendleton Street garage, while west campus visitor parking would be located in the Coliseum lot. Also, the NPACP stressed the need for a master advisory committee on parking, to be a permanent, authoritative subcommittee under the presently static Facilities and Grounds Advisory Committee (FGAC).

"The New Presidential Advisory Committee was appointed specifically to look at possible long-range solutions. It had nothing to do with the im mediate future. What we were looking at is how can we solve what seems to be a very severe parking shortage? We can't eliminate cars. They're a modern fact of life. Certain parts of the N P ACP proposals were accepted, others were not, but the general idea (of peripheral parking) was ac cepted," Rosen said. "The (present) problem is simply one of musical chairs. We're going to lose some places for next fall, and we wanted to see how best to utilize what space we have on campus." Rosen said parking spaces would dwindle mostly in the east campus area, especially at the sight of the new Gambrell building, under construction near the present humanities complex. "We had a shortage of approximately 500 spaces for this fall, before we came up with spaces at Booker T. Washington and a greater utilization of one or two other lots. I think we'll break even," he said. With the fall '75 situation presently under control, attention is turned towards the more serious long-range problems. Richard A. Rempel, professor of history and recently resigned chairman of the FGAC was also a member of the NPACP. Rempel would like to see the inclusion of a permanent subcommittee in the FGAC, along with its standing committees on space, maintenance and Horseshoe renovation.

Rempel said "What I wanted to do (as head of FGAC) is to make this subcommittee the single parking committee that would decide present and future parking policies and plans. "I tried to keep it consistent. My whole point as chairman of Facilities and Grounds was to make some orderly, rational organization of committees and subcommittees dealing with facilities and grounds. Parking is part of that, and rather than creating one ad hoc committee after another, this NPACP ought to be an adjunct standing committee of the FGAC." Perhaps the most controversial recommendation of the NPACP was a switch to a faculty-staff parking fee since one of the few fringe benefits for faculty-staff is free parking. Rempel said, the committee supported the fee system because free parking is a luxury that most state universities no longer provide. "The members of this committee were prepared to bite the bullet," he said. "One reason the faculty has so zealously guarded free parking is that Please Turn to Page 3 Suml Russe Foot Long & Hamb (Lettuce, Tomna Potato Salad Fr -Thursday, June Spnored USC, Winthn $100,000 To BY SUSAN STEVENS Of The Gamecock staff USC and Winthrop College have been named joint ad ministrators of a $100,000 grant for training personnel to work with the developmentally disabled in South Carolina. The grant was given by the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare in a national effort to better the services for persons with substantial intellectual, neurological or physicn! im pairments. It is being coor dinated through the University Affiliated Facilities (U.A.F.). The aim of U.A.F. is to en courage leading universities across the nation to carry out research and personnel training for the severely handicapped in cooperation with available services. The U.A.F. coor dinates existing agencies and organizations. Dr. Carolyn M. Smith of Winthrop and Dr. Wade Wieters of USC will be directing the project. According to Dr. Wieters, "U.F.A.'s importance is that it tends to bring- together universities and outside experts from a variety of fields in such a way that training and research improvements continue while services are provided." imertime on the 11 House Monday, 5-7:3( Cook( -with High C (Band Begins.

These clinics will provide services to the handicapped, model clinics for the state and training sites for students. Training will be available to students and faculty in all fields. "The problems are so varied that a variety of different kinds of people are needed to solve them. Students will be trained in interdisciplinary ways which have not been possible in the past," Wieters said. USC and Winthrop will be working in conjunction with the S.C. Department of Mental Retardation, the S.C. Depart ment of Health and En vironmental Control and the Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities. Dr. John Zuidema of USC's Social Problems Research Institute is responsible for plans for further developments of U.A.F. and future services for the handicapped. Dr. Arthur Weiss of the Department of Education is coordinator of activities on USC's campus. Dr. Richard Winnik, a psychology professor, is supervising the development of the model urban clinic to be located in Columbia. The model rural clinic will be located in Rock Hill.
