Rental spaces,
city's lot ensure

By ANNA HARDIGREE and CANDY
BARR
Monay reporters
Two parking lots in the campus
area offer students and
faculty parking spaces without
the hassle of looking for them.
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.

they will open the lot and
charge $1 for parking.
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.

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.

The price for a space is $45 a
month, and the spaces arc
available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. 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.

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. She

also said mortgage banking positions
such as underwriters and
sellers and participants in the
secondary mortgage market
could also relate to real estate.
"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
