CAMPUS PARKING SCENE:
Drivers Sweat Through Perpetual Vehicle Glut
By JIM FABIAN Daily Trojan Business Manager
Time was when students could swing off a streetcar in front of Bovard and dash to class without having to look for a parking spot. They could blissfully study on the trolley instead of fighting traffic and worrying about finding a place to stable their mighty horse powered vehicles.
Xo more.
Today they either arrive via a pokey bus and walk to class from the outer fringes of the campus. or they drive automobiles and still walk to class from the outer fringes of the campus.
And it looks as if their walks will be getting longer because the campus is going to grow larger.
Sorely needed parking lots are disappearing overnight to make room for sorely needed Master Planned buildings. Streets are being closed to vehicular traffic to reduce congestion. The automobile driver is developing an inferiority complex because he is beginning to feel his vehicle isn’t wanted.
He’s right.
But until USC loses its “commuter school” status. the automobile will continue to be a snarler of campus harmony.
When and how did the parking problem come into being?
It didn’t exist when
the university was a fledgling and it took several hours to get to campus from downtown with a horse-drawn carriage. It was no problem when the first overhead trolley systems penetrated this far south to bring picnickers to the vast agricultural park (later to be named Exposition Park) and real estate prospects to the subdivi-s i o n s blossoming i n USC’s front yard.
Xo. the glut of automobiles didn’t become a campus headache until some time after World War II.
Think back to the late 1940s, the time when the
TIME WAS . . . Students took their lives in their hands every time they tried to cross University Avenue before the thoroughfare was closed to vehicles. Photo proves that things weren't so good in the "old days."

parking spaces to serve 17,000 students. This amount of parking is equivalent to the spaces now available in lots M at 3 4th and Hoover Streets and K on Hoover Street and 3(5th Place.

faculty member, administrator and employe had taken to driving to the university. The TOO stalls began to fill up early in the day.
The administration set to work to provide more parking. It studied the situation and found that it was most economical to const r u c t surface parking lots rather than parking garages. (Current construction cost to build a parking garage is $6.50 per square foot, while surface lots can be had for $3.25 per square foot.)
Two years ago. after the parking situation became unbearably acute, the permit system was introduced. Students were assured a parking spot if they paid $15 a semester for a permit to park in designated lots. In addition. Parcoa pay
lots were utilized. The fees from these facilities were designated to be used for the construction of additional lots.
A new parking 1 o t comes into being by purchasing a plot of property, clearing it of buildings and surfacing and striping it with stalls.
Present policy is to construct new lots as fast as suitable property can be obtained, even if the lot can be used only temporarily before classrooms are built on it.
But parking remains almost impossible during the peak class hours of 1) a.m. to noon.
Student c a r s form lines waiting to enter restricted lots in the morning. while these same lots are partially empty in the afternoon and evening hours.
Lazzaro thinks that schedule diversificiation is the best solution to the parking problem.
“At present our lots are being used to their full capacity only three hours a day, while the planners work overtime to provide additional lots that will see only partial maximum use.” he says.
At present there are approximately 2,85 0 parking stalls on campus. University policy is to sell two parking permits for each stall. Surveys have indicated that only about half the permit holders are on campus at any given time, a fact that is difficult to believe during the morning rush.
Students have adopted some unpractical parking habits that tend to compound their parking difficulties. They insist on trying to park in the most popular lots every day, not allowing sufficient time to park in a more remote lot and walking to class in the event their favorite lot is full. If they can’t find a spot the first time around, they arrive late to class.
Street parking h a s been difficult in the past, unless the student arrives very early in the morning. The abundance of red and yellow painted curbs in addition to driveway entrances and areas taken by construction crews cuts off much of surface street parking space.
The university has contracted with Exposition Park officials for the use of the Menlo Street (at Exposition Boulevard) lot at all times except immediately prior to a Coliseum event. The lot’s reputation as being a vandal’s
