Parking, meeting areas a t/5C officii By CAREN CAMPBELL Staff writer The lower University Terrace area could becon either a site for parking facilities, greek meetir places, housing areas or other types of facilities, USC administrator said. Lower ,U,T. is slowly becoming a priority f< renovation under the master plan made by tl Committee on Capital Planning, which has a lonj range master plan for the upkeep of buildings o campus, said Dennis Pruitt, vice president of Sti dent Affairs. "Either those facilities have to be renovatec remodeled and updated at considerable co: because they're so old . . . or you have to replac something else there," Pruitt said. The lower U.I area is one of the oldest housing facilities on can pus, he said. Although the lower U.T. area is being looked ir to as a site for future projects, the building within housing standards, Otis Pilot of Housin Services said. Pilot said no problem exists with the building: In fact, the gas systems have been upgraded; th plumbing is in good shape; and the building i always painted during the summer months whe residents are gone, he said. However, the area has been selected for long term projects and will be demolished eventually t make way for new student facilities, said Davi Rinker, vice president of Facilities Planning. "It would take the next several years to develo an overall plan, and the architectural plannin would take at least six to nine months," Rinke said.

ABORTION page 2 S"""M"5" P New proposal w * opposite-sex visit By RON BAKER Staff writer The Ecology Committee and the Board of Trustees are Mm looking into a compromise that would phase out overnight, opposite-sex visitation for freshmen and IIP sophomores beginning in the fall of 1990. "k The compromise would require the Ecology Committee K and the board to review the possibility of phasing out these visitation rights for juniors and seniors in 1992. In a Student Liaison Committee meeting Friday afternoon, the Board members reviewed the Ecology Committee proposal and decided to clarify several points in it before the April 13 vote. The plan would not affect any student presently enrolled at USC, but those students on whom it would have an impact have no voice in the matter, said Student GovernIll ment President Marie-Louise Ramsdale, a member of the Ecology Committee. Ramsdale said the issue of age rather than class groupil ing should be taken into account so that older freshmen pg who choose to live on campus would not be affected in the same way as younger students. Ex officio board member and S.C. state Rep. Mike Fair said he plans to make a motion at the beginning of ep oio Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting that would require istees eliminating all overnight, opposite-sex visitation beginning in the fall of 1989. te of U.T. |P inker also said that in addition to surface park- ' they would also consider underground levels, scause virtually no graduate housing exists on pus and the graduate populaton is increasing, administration is also looking into low-cost iuate housing, Pruitt said. , - - ~ The trouble is if you build a high rise, you get nice housing, but it may not be low-cost," nother matter under consideration is the greek ;ing proposal, which enumerates the needs and ts of greek organizations on campus. te proposal is a combination of greek meeting * ^flte is, living facilities and chapter rooms.

"It's probably one of the worst situations we could be in with students," said Ramsdale of S.G.'s tacit support of the Ecology Committee's compromise. "We came out with the best we could possibly get," she said. Ramsdale said she had met with board members in private to discuss the issue.
