Senate to request parking aids; relief anticipated in December
By John Frith
Start Writer
Parking permit rebates, the opening of additional lots oft campus and an increase in tram and security services are among proposals the Student Senate is expected to approve in an effort to alleviate the university's parking problem, said Suzanne \ora, senate chairman.
Real relief, however, is not expected until December, when the parking structure at 36th Place and McClintock Avenue is expected to reopen.
V\hen it is completed, the enlarged structure will have space
for 3,400 cars, half of which will go to students.
"We have a promise of 1,700 spots for students from Carl Levredge (director of campus security and parking operations)," Nora said, "which will take up the Menlo Avenue parking area."
She claims some progress has alreadv been made. This summer, the parking structure located between the women's and men's complexes was designated as faculty and staff parking only. Now it is reserved for residents with some faculty parking permitted.
The senate will also propose
Battle scars remain after LA Iranian riot

It has been three weeks since a demonstration by Iranian students in downtown Los Angeles erupted into a battle between police and demonstrators, ending in the arrest of 171 people and leaving a street littered with broken signs, shoes, glasses and blood.
The debris has been washed awav. But the signs remain.
About 35 university students took part in the protest march and 8 to 10 were injured. Four of the students were willing to talk about the incident provided the\ remain anonymous.
One of the four students, an Iranian, turned his hands outward, revealing crease marks across his wrists from the tight nylon twine used to handcuff him. He said his hands were still numb.
I le w ent on to describe the demonstration. the purpose of the march, and how the fighting began. He charged the Los Angeles police with planning and provoking the riot.
The aim was to protest coverage of the tire." Arsonists set a theater in Abadan, Iran on tire which killed hundreds days before. They (the news media) said Islamic Marxist extremists did it. We believe and have information that the fire w as the w ork of Savak agents, he said. Savak is the Iranian secret police.
" W e picked the Lo> Angeles Times as a symbol ... to protest all coverage ot Iran bv the U.S. media.
"Two effigies were burned in front of the Times and then the police started to pick out the leaders, anyone in charge, the ones with bullhorns.
We started to negotiate with police through our lawyer. .We agreed tii disperse.Then they told us You have five minutes to be arrested by
us.'
"Usually they say you have five minutes to disperse.
"We had guessed the police had plans but w'e didn't think it was assault." he said.

that the university lease additional lots on the corner of 37th Place and Vermont and next to the Hilton Hotel on Figueroa Street.
More immediately, she said that guards should be stationed in the lots in greater numbers. She noted that there is only one guard now at the Menlo-Hxposition lot.
Permanent guards would help ease the parking situation as well as make parking at the outer lots safer, she added.
"Currently, once a lot is full the guard locks up the lot and leaves," she said. "If cars leave the lot, there is no way for later arrivals to get in."
Another way the situation can be improved, would be to allow students into faculty lots if spaces there were available after a certain time, Nora said.
The senate will also provide preferred parking for carpools and increased funding for carpools, paid for by the carpool parking fees.
She said there should be a traffic light, or at least a traffic officer, at the corner of Menlo Avenue and Exposition Boulevard during rush periods to ease the congestion caused by persons parking and walking across Exposition.
Those hoping for a return of convenient parking near the center of campus can put those dreams aside, Nora said, since the university's master plan calls for eliminating parking there.

Class lecture notes available as UCLA students start sales
By Susan Ritchie
Staff Writer
Lecture notes for seven university classes are being sold at Tam's Bookstore this semester.
Two UCLA students are running a business based at Tam's that will pay a teaching assistant (TA) or graduate student to sit in class lectures and take notes. At the end of the week the notes will be turned in and reprinted. They will be distributed beginning the following Tuesday.
The university has not officially taken a stand on the selling of lecture notes but has left the decision up to the faculty, said a spokeman for the office of Zohrab Kaprielian, executive vice-president of the university.
The only legal obstacle thus far is that solicitation is prohibited on campus he said. Approaching teachers to ask permission to allow the notes to be sold is considered solicitation.
The cost of a subscription is $15 per class for the entire semester. Approximately 150 students have signed up so far this semester.
Kim Siehl and Janice Galletly, sophomores at UCLA, got the idea of selling notes from the UCLA bookstore where notes for J07 classes (continued on pn<?- 2)
fairly straightforward to me," said Roy Kidman, university librarian.
Kidman said the library decided to request the files after the university community showed sufficient interest in them.
Julia Johnson, head of the library's government documents section, requested the files under the Freedom of Information Act.
Johnson wrote the CIA in June and requested that normal processing fees in releasing the files be waived since the library planned to make the material available to the public.
The processing fees can be expensive and are waived only if the files are released for public interest or use, a CIA official said.
"No one wants to get stuck with a $1,000 bill for the files," the official said.
The CIA has agreed to waive the university's fees.
Von KleinSmid Center Library now has acquired approximately 150 CIA documents released within the past 3 years.
The documents are classified the same as books and are scattered throughout the library.
"The CIA things we have here are normally published things. They're available to anyone by purchase," said Lynn Sipe, a li-
brarian in Von KleinSmid
Center.
Library officials do not know where the files will be put once they arrive since the CIA has given no indication of the size of material collected.
"The problem is that we don't know how much we're going to get. If it turns out to be voluminous material, there could be a space problem," Kidman said.
Johnson said the library has collected an enormous amount of files and publications since it began receiving government documents in 1935.
"But if we want to keep our CIA materials together, it would be logical for them (the files) to go to VKC," Johnson said.
But Sipe said Von KleinSmid Center library is short of space and may have problems housing the files.
"That bridge will have to be crossed. It will be different if they can just fill a file cabinet but there aren't that many empty shelves around," he said.
Kidman said the files will be available upon request to anyone.
"We have thousands of government documents. We'll make them as available as anything
else," he said.
