The city of Columbia's lot is located on Park Street, adjacent to the two university lots behind Carolina Coliseum. Richard Hilley, the lot's ^ supervisor, said about 40 to 50 W students use the lots daily, while about 75 spaces in the lot arc used by people visiting or working at the state Department of Highways and Public Transportation located on the other side of the lot.

Parking regulations state that after nennle with nvprHnc tickes arc notified, they have 10 days to pay before a warrant is issued. ! The professor, who said he thought the lot was for | 24-hour parking, called the whole business "petty," say0 ing it had "no business winding up in court."

The lot usually does not have attendants during the day and parkers pay the 75 cents as they leave the lot. But for those who want to be a little bit closer to campus and pay by the month, Tom Jenkins Properties owns a lot on Greene Street behind the South Carolina Bookstore. Barbara Fanning, the leasing manager for Tom Jenkins Properties, said about 40 percent of the 55 spaces is leased to instructors, and the other 60 percent is leased to graduate or law students. riefcase was released on $100 person recognizance bond. New Mexico school thieves stealing parking stickers University of New Mexico campus parking permits are "hot" property. The permits, which cost $36 for most areas, are hot items because there's a limited number available, and j they're difficult to obtain. ' Locked cars are no deterrent to thieves; they've been know to use "slimjims," thin pieces of metal to force doors open. If a permit that was reported stolen is found on another car, parking monitors place clamps on the wheels of the vehicle and leave a note informing the owner to report to i the police station.

Tom Jenkins Poperties makes about $2,475 a month renting spaces. Fanning said they usually have a waiting list to rent the spaces and the renters have to give a 30-day notice when they intend on renting the next month. "We very seldom have a turnover," Fanning said, adding that 10 people are on the waiting list now. Fanning said a person on the list may have to wait up to six months to get a space. People who want to rent spaces for the summer should sign up now, he s^id. Fanning said one of the major problems is damage to the gate when vandals break the arms off of it to park during concerts. Real esta By CANDY M. BARR Monoy editor Students interested in real estate will have a chance to learn about opportunies in real estate at the first Real Estate Careers Day on Friday in Room 634-A of me uusiness Administration Building. "Most of the students think of real estate majors as going out to sell houses, and that's only a small part of what the industry does," said Barbara Childs, who teaches and is sponsoring the real estate career day. "There are a lot of jobs that people think of in real estate that are actually finance oriented, marketing oriented, accounting oriented, or lingual," Childs said. Some jobs Childs said relate to real estate include appraisals, property developers, property managers and leasing agents.

The state Department of Highways and Public Transportation will have the plates available beginning March 15, said W. H. Kay, an administrator with the highway department's motor vehicle division. Only owners of private passenger vehicles qualify for the plates, Kay said. The plates cannot be bought from local offices of the highway "Stinky, smelling" shot Todd and IV By CANDY M.

"South Carolina is growing, and there are a lot of opportunities, particulary for those students who realize that in the real estate industry, their salary is a direct function of the amount of work that they are going to put in. The harder they work, the more money they will make," Childs said. Childs said the Real Estate Careers Day will provide discussion forums to inform the students of the opportunies related in the industry. The program will also allow industry members to come and interview the graduating seniors and masters students for job placement.
