Timbers Parking CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 "In any construction project, there are bound to be delays in which different phases of con struction are finished first," he said. "But I wish they had thought more about enrolling 3,000 addi tional freshmen this year while cutting parking." Rather than spend time try ing to find a prime parking space, nearly 3,700 students a day use the Carolina Shuttle sys tem, according to USC Parking Services. The shuttles stop at major points on campus, such as the Coliseum, the Horseshoe and Capstone House. The shuttle operates Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 p.m. Service is free to USC stu dents, faculty and staff, and shuttles run about every 15 to 20 minutes. Derrick Huggins, Parking Services director, stresses that the shuttle is efficient, and pre vents the delays caused by searching for a parking spot. Students from off campus should park in less crowded ar eas, Huggins said, such as the new lot on Barnwell street, then catch the shuttle to where they need to go. Steven Frazier, a third-year pharmacy student, says he ap preciates the shuttle system. The shuttles “are cheaper than a meter, and you never know if you will be able to find a parking spot if you drive your car,” he said. Numerous students have come up with their own ideas about how to rid the campus of its ongoing parking problem. Natalie Zimmerman, a third year retailing student who parks in Bull Street Garage, suggests using spaces as a reward for a high GPA. “The students with the higher GPAs should get the first priori ty, and then it would go from there,” she said. Kate Mungo, a second-year public relations student, says she thinks freshman parking should be eliminated. “It seems that upperclassman should not have to compete with the freshman students,” she said. Huggins said students should not rely on metered spaces, but should instead become familiar with the shuttle system and uni versity parking lots such as the one on the 1300 block of Barnwell Street. He also requests that students hold out as well as they can until the new spaces arrive, which he hopes will be toward the end of November. He suggests that students liv ing on campus walk to class as of ten as possible, and says all stu dents should try to determine what the best solution is to ac commodate their schedule. * “A better day is coming,” Huggins said.
