Towers' dorms get By Janet Edens The fire alarm system in two dormitories in the Towers area is being replaced with a new one, according to Lawrence Beauford, USC director of Environmental Services. University officials decided to replace the system in M and N dorms (Snowden and Moore) in the Towers because it could not be maintained. The former system was installed in the 1960's and spare parts were ditticult to get, Beauford said. A delay in obtaining a part for the new system has slowed down the installation process. "We had planned to install it prior to the students moving back in, but we had some rliffirnltv in optfino the control nanel." he said. Parking Continued from page 1 A mil A > _ C 0">0 I C? Jfc.AfN IJ U K tl /YIV1, o I ozo Luuiciu jl., said, "It's impossible to park at any time in front of your home." Durham, a 20-year area resident, said because she is older, she has to depend on friends and deliveries to meet her daily needs. The result is those trying to reach her home often must park two or three diocks away and walk to her residence, she said. "It is bad never to have a place to park in front of your house," Durham said. Willi I.

"It takes a lot of lime to park at the coliseum and commute over to the B.A. building." Cox said he was bothered most by the "strong wording" of the ordinance. "It is completely banning students from some streets." ALTHOUGH SOME students said they believe there isn't enough commuter parking, James Lamb,parking and vehicle registration manager, said there is ample parking on university property. Lamb said all the commuter lots were on ' or close to the Shuttlecock routes.

A temporary system is in operation while the new one is being installed. Four automatic, fire detectors have been installed on each of th# ifven floors, except the first, where Beau ford said only two alarms were required. Because the alarms do not sound throughout the building, they are supplemented with a guard who patrols the dorms between midnight and 8 a.m. Beauford said the temporary system is highly effective. "I think we have a better, degree of safety now than with the old system," he said. R', The new system, which cost approximately It S3.500. will be manually operated like the|' former fire alarm system, he said. , j tlecock will run from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.? during tne tan ana spring sciiicmci:*. i | Part of the problem for commuters haslii been the lack of a dependable time schedule H for the Shuttlecock. | j Gray said he hoped to work out a "moreB dependable schedule for the Shuttlecock," 1} with one bus running only to the perimeters I of the campus. j J AN EXAMPLE would be a bus that stop-B ped only at Bates House, the Business AtI-|L ministration building, and the Coliseum, Gray said. The ordinance was approved by a vote of six to-one with councilman William Ou/ts opposing. Ou/ts said "U^C is tne mggesi industry that the city of Columbia has," and council should find another way to alleviate the problem. Parking illegally in the restricted areas will result in heavy fines once the ordinance is implememented. THE CHARGF. for the first violation will be no less than $15 and after 12 hours the car will be towed. T ines will increase for each ( subsequent violation. McCutchen said he believed the ordinance would not effect students as much as some nennle feared. Once the plan is implemented, "people will forget it ever was a problem," McCutchen said. "I don't think the students will really feel it." IRBSN IW>I ?TIM n M ft. HI ICTrfl AH SOMMISSION C ADAA1T bNunh you're a professional nurse, leans you're an officer. You nember of our medical team.
