Some parking to be eliminated for new construction
BY PETER FLETCHER
New facilities are being made available to the Community School of Performing Arts, which provides low-cost practical instruction in music, dance and drama for precollege-age individuals.
The school is under the jurisdiction ofthe School of Performing Arts.
It is located just off Adams Boulevard in Clark House, which is scheduled to be torn down in June.
Barracks S on Downey Way, which presently houses the arts group, is being remodeled for the school. The facility is expected to be ready in the summer. Space will also be made available to the school in the new music faculty building and the Ramo Building, which will open in the fall.
The school was in extreme trouble in early December because of the impending loss of Clark House and financial problems. An article in the Dec. 1

At least 650 parking spaces will be eliminated during the summer and fall semester and no new parking facilities will replace them until fall, 1976.
Anthony D. Lazzaro, vice-president for business affairs, told the President's Advisory Council at its meeting Wednesday, “The university will suffer the consequences of insufficient parking this upcoming school year."
The spaces will be eliminated by the construction of new buildings on existing parking lots, the construction of a pedestrian mall from Hoover Street to Vermont Avenue along Childs Way, and the widening of Jefferson Boulevard.
The PAC tabled a motion to increase parking fees during 1976 for construction of two new four-level parking structures until there is time to review the type of structures needed and the cost of building such facilities.
The PAC also decided to refer consideration of reinstating the mandatory student programming fee next year to the appropriate committees before presenting a final decision to President John R. Hubbard.
PAC’s Executive Committee had voted last month to reinstate the mandatory fee. but when students at the meeting questioned the committee's procedure in reaching the decision, the PAC decided to refer the matter to another committee.
Hubbard was going to make his report on matters concerning his health and rumors of his resignation and the state ofthe university affairs at the meeting. However, the time spent in debate over other matters made him decide to hold a special meeting in the near future for his presentation.
Barbara Grow, committee sec-
retary to the PAC, said the date of the meeting has not been decided.
Hubbard said that the special meeting would be offthe record. Grow said, in reference to that remark. “The meeting would not be closed but offthe record. The Daily Trojan would be able to attend but since President Hubbard requested that it be off the record it would be inappropriate for the Daily Trojan to print anything.
“The council is an advisory body to the president and he feels that he should be able to discuss things with them without it being printed.”
Hubbard was unavailable for comment on that meeting.
Allen W. Mathies, chairman of the Resource Management and Planning Committee, presented a report to the PAC on the proposed parking fee increase.
“It is necessary to construct facilities to accommodate about 1.760 more automobiles on the main campus,” the report said.
The Master Plan, the university’s building construction schedule for the next few years, will eliminate 1,760 parking spaces, Lazzaro said.
The two new structures financed by the fee increases would only replace the spaces eliminated by the construction and not add any new parking spaces, he said.
Mathies said the facilities would cost $4.7 million in capital expenditures after deducting parking reserves on hand amounting to $1.1 million.
The spaces should be available no later than Oct. 1.1976, and parking operations should be self-supporting enterprises, Mathies said.
The PAC voted to allow more time for consideration on what type of facilities were needed to house the automobiles.

Machine item costs on campus increase
BY KENTSCHOXNECHT
Price increases for items in the on-campus vending machines are now in effect. The prices were raised when the machines were serviced this month.
In a decision made by Kenneth Bridges, director of food services; Guy Hubbard, director of auxiliary services; and Anthony Lazzaro, vice-president for business affairs, prices of canned cold drinks were raised from 30 to 35 cents; cold-cup drinks were raised from 15 to 20 cents; and cigarettes, formerly priced at 55 cents now cost 60 cents.
Gum and candy, which used to cost 10 and 15 cents, now cost 15 and 20 cents respectively. The prices of pastries, potato chips and hot canned foods will also increase.
Bridges said that a proposal to decrease the quantity of milk offered from a 10 2/3 ounces to 8 ounces was rejected, as was a similar proposal for coffee.
All the proposals were suggested last month by the Automated Retailers Assn. (ARA), the company that contracts to provide the vending service.
Bridges said the increases went into effect because ARA was losing money with the old
prices. Since May 1. 1974, when the prices in the vending machines were last raised, ARA has incurred a 23.6% increase in
costs.
The university previously received a 10% cut of the money from the machines, but after some negotiation, it agreed to reduce its profit to 8%.
An ARA spokesman said that before the increases, the university was making more on the vending machines than the company.
There are 110 vending machines at the university, representing an investment of nearly $100,000. That includes the cost of food. $15 in change in each machine and the cost ofthe machine itself.
ARA has served the university for a number of years, but does not have an indefinite contract. Either ARA or the university has the power to terminate the contract on 30 days notice.
Bridges said there had been no finalization of contracts for services next year, and that the university will be open for bids later this year.
He also said another plan concerning the vending machines is being explored, but would not comment further.
issue of the Los Angeles Times highlighted the problems of the school. Within two weeks letters began to appear in the Times supporting the school.
In response to the interest in the school, the School of Performing Arts agreed to help find a building for the community school. They also promised enough money to keep the school going for the next few years.
Grant Beglarian, dean of the School of Performing Arts, said “The barracks are temporary and in about four or five years new quarters for the Community
School must be found.” He added that its present needs have been taken care of.
Nancee Cortes, director of the school, said “The school is running a deficit and the deficit is going up, but there is no question of keeping the school going.”
The school serves 850 adults and children and has strong community support, which helped it to get additional funds. Cortes said, “Both sides (the university and the community) are pleased that the school will stay in operation.”
