Student v v* * By Rachel Koenlfl I Stafl Writer i USC's parking crunch is at * a oeak. and students are angry about the lack of j spaces, parking fines and special privileges for Student Government of- J ficials. * Ginger Greer, a junior majoring in early childhood . education* last year accumulated more than $200 in parking fines. "I think meter maids should be more understanding before they start ticketing the way they do. They realize the parking problem we have at USC, but they don't let up at all." GREER LIVES in the women's quadrangle, where , there are a few 30-minute ( parking areas for visitors. j She said her mother visited ^ and was ticketed by the time { she got back to her car. She , said a similar incident oc- j curred when her boyfriend picked her up. Greer said most women on t campus are afraid to park s tar irom ineir aorms. c "It's just not safe," she c said. "It's not fair for us to r have to walk clear across \ campus at night by our- l selves. { I just left my car at home i this year because it was too ' much trouble and too ex- i pensive/' Greer said.

" "I am impressed with the e organization of the USC School of Medicine,** Ramadan said, "as well as I with the facilities. The I faculty and the students are I] enthusiastic, and the I research they are doing is I excellent.** | "We are pleased that Dr. Ramadan has come to the School of Medicine on his first visit to the United States,'* said Dr. Roderick Macdonald, dean of the medical school. "We have IMM rnHHlur uiMrlr immU* way and some of the finest facilities and faculty members in the United I States." \\ Macdonald invited [j Ramadan to USC durina * I visit to Egypt in June 19ft After meeting with i Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Macdonald toured the Medical Research Institute . at Alexandria and met t ) ALWAYS jB feffiinH! diamondsH . m FOR Lf$S! f ieweiry EE \ I WAREHOUSE E is hot ab . > ;V " . -V ' , f X.

"However, t seems as though the parking situation is poorly . managed. There are not nany dorm parking lots, ** especially in the women's n juad, South Building and u rowers area." Student Government Vice President Jeff Floyd said there is a parking problem, but students don't use all " available spaces. He pointed ?
