Campus Still Has Parking Problems But Situation Improves With Time
By LOURDES EUGENIO
Politics may take the lime light in the news scene today, but the parking lot problem is here to stay.
Like the Civic Center, USC is faced with the problem of providing adequate space for park ing facilities; unlike the Civic Center, however, the shortage at this university has fortunately not become any worse, compared to previous years.
At the present time, lot number four on Menlo Ave. is being rented from the State of California, Sixth District Agricultural Association. This space has been transformed into a parking lot.
Officials point out that much of the problem has been solved by providing spaces for bicycles within the campus grounds. A1 though there is considerable bi cycle traffic, it is much easier to contend with it, officials say>.
Additional lands are being ac quired in the vicinity of the campus. These are being converted into parking spaces.
A new project has been underway since last summer near the Student Health Center and is near completion.
Another parking lot across from EVK, between 35th PI. and 35 St. is being constructed.
In addition to these areas, university authorities have pro-
| vided other parking spaces at a
1 nominal charge.
Parking jams indeed offer a
■	challenge to university off ici-| als. But plans are now being un dertaken to ease this problem.
In an effort to offer solutions, the campus development office is studying plans for more expansion. Much work still lies ahead, but all the possible remedies, officials feel, are being taken into consideration.
An important consideration is the question of whether parking lots should take precedense over the building of additional classrooms. Parking lots, however, are usually given priority.
The office of development is
hoping for more expansion in | this project. They expect to pur-j chase lands on such major sites as 37 St. and its vicinity. How 1 ever, officials are confident that 1 the parking shortage will not be accelerated within the next two years.
Charles Luckman, architect-planner for the Civic Cente.\ told the Board of Superv'sors ; this week that “we must accept j the premise that 1965 is today."
With this in mind, USC oiri-! cials, although satisfied with ; their solution of the current t parking situation, intend to :on tinue their plans and studi >s to I cope with future parking prob lems.
★ ★ ★ Nixon Man Starts Work
“College Youth for Nixon,” a national student organization of Republicans. Democrats and independents has announced the appointment of USC law student Dick Wallen, to its National Steering Committee.
Wallen is also chairman of the Youth for Nixon for the State of California.
A graduate of UCLA, where he was a star end on the UCLA football team and was named All-American in 1958, he is a member of Gold Key, Beta Theta Pi. the Student Board and the Cal Club. He is a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity.
Wallen and approximately 30 other student leaders across the nation comprise the Steering Committee. The purpose of the college group is to offer registered voters of all parties the opportunity to campaign for the Nixon Lodge ticket.
Their primary interest is on a national level. They plan t* discuss the differences between the Nixon and Kennedy pro grams.
