Committe By DUNCAN MANSFIELD Gameteek Staff Wrier Campus parking is a very real problem for USC students, faculty and staff. While it is dubious whether the parking situation is going to be solved, the condition is continually changing. Parking committees in the student senate, the Facilities and Grounds Committee and an in dependent "Committee for the reinstatement of Shuttle Busses" have been working on a solution to campus parking. Although definite answers have not been found by these committees, their studies have covered a gamut of proposals. THE STUDENT Senate Parking Committee has yet to make any official statement to the Senate about their study. But it is ex pected their proposal will include an increase in student parking at the expense of present facuity parking areas. The committee is also in favor of lowering the ex pected parking fees at the new Pendleton Street Garage, which is still under construction. The Pendleton Street Garage is slated to cost students $35 per semester in parking fees, similar to the Blossom Street Garage. Debra Kolanda, secretary of married students, is working through the Student Senate to improve the parking situation for University Terrace (UT) students and their families. "UT students are guaranteed a place to park in the (Blossom Street) garage, but you usually can't find one," Kolanda said. The UT students pay parking fees as part of their rent. Kolanda wants an arrangement to be made to exchange the UT parking areas for closer parking spaces behind Calcott College, which are presently reserved for faculty and staff use. This would give the UT students ap Pih pa: del Ali an Co service. Excellent sele< beer.

The Student Senate has also sent a proposal to Residence Life to provide loading and unoading qmpces for Woodrow and Preston residents, in the faculty parking lot behind the dorms. STUDENT SEN. Weaver Grayson is studying the feasibility of continuing the campus shuttle bus system. Grayson wants a shuttle service that will run from 8 a.m. to midnight. He wil use the programs at the Universities of Delaware and Georgia as models for his proposal to the Senate. A shuttle bus service was discontinued at USC after a study conducted by the office of operations, which stated there was "a general lack of participation by the students." Tbe study was made during sn eight-week period, Df the two shuttle bus routes used last spring: the Bates House-Roost route and the one from the Coliseum to the Horseshoe. Study rWdings showed that at no time were there more than 16 people riding the bus, and many times mly one or two persons were using the shuttle service.
