Many USC drivers are at war.
Their enemy is the Parking and;
Vehicle Registration Division,,
otherwise known as the "meter
maids." !
The university employs four full- ^
time parking officers and hires one
extra officer for the fall and spring j ||J
semesters. The officers do not,] H |B
have quotas for writing tickets,
according to division director flL.
Danny Baker. They write
anywhere from 600 to 800 tickets j
per day, he said.
MANY OF THE parking officers
have been victims of pranks ac- \
cording to campus police
lieutenant Kenneth Perreira. For
example, in February USC
parking patrolman Diane Seger, a
veteran in the parking war, was
soaked by a cup of hot coffee \
thrown out of a Woodrow dor- \
mitory window. The student was \
never caught. \
An average revenue of $157,500 is \
collected each year by the parking
division for tickets and overdue
fines, Baker, the director said.
Baker said the reason 70,000
tickets a year are written is
because of a shortage of parking
spaces. There are over 12,000
registered vehicles on this campus
and only about 9,000 spaces, he |
i J - i
auuea.
There are only 1800 spaces for
USC faculty and staff parking
while 4300 faculty decals were
issued this year. This leaves 2500
people who have permits without a
place to park.
THE COMPLETION of a threelevel
parking garage is set for
spring 1982. Baker said the garage
will probably be reserved forfaculty
and staff to help alleviate
sictn panting pruuiems.
THE DIVISION is a service for uthe
benefit of the students, ac- c
cording to Baker. "Without us
there would be total chaos," he RPQU
said. y

in and do the ticketing. There
would be more tickets given and
virtually no chance for appeal if |
that happened, Baker said. j j
