In a plan drafted by English McCutchen and introduced to the council July 20, permits would be required to park on certain streets near USC and perhaps elsewhere in the city. "It's a serious problem... If parking were not available, I'd be much more sympathetic." ? Columbia resident Keith Amstutz THE PROBLEM, according to McCutchen, is that residents in the neighborhoods near USC often have been unable to park near their homes during the day, and sometimes must contend with cars left unattended for weeks.

There are many schools that don't allow parking on campus at all. They rely on shuttles." Amstutz said he plans to attend the council meeting today. ANOTHER RESIDENT near USC, however, said, "I've had very little trouble with student parking in the day." H.S. Buchanan said students have occasionally parked in his driveway. But though he plans to attend the meeting to support his neighbors, Buchanan said, "I'm sort of objective about it (the plan)." Another local resident commented, "We should at least have our driveways. We've always had problems with parking. It hasn't been that bad lately." MONA I)1AZ, an economics/political science maior at USC, said parking problems should be expected when a person lives near the university.
