More Bicycles

The committee decided to urge
wider use of bicycles to listen
traffic congestion and agreed to
establish more bicycle facilities.

While no changes have been
made in the designation of
faculty-staff and student parking
areas, a new lot was opened during
the summer between the
architecture building and Lambeth
Field and 200 new spaces for cars
are being constructed in the Scott
Stadium area.

Besides the faculty staff parking
fee, other changes in University
parking regulations include a new
ticket form which will be used in
citing parking violators. City and
county tickets also will be used in
various areas, with the fines being
collected by the University police
force.

While new regulations have
approved the establishment of
parking meters various locations
on the Grounds, the meters
apparently will not be installed for
the time being. However, certain
parking fines have been increased,
in particular tho for failure to
register a vehicle, which was raised
from $10 to $15, and a new fine of
$20 for operating a vehicle by
students without driving privileged.

In addition, a county ordinance
provides for towing vehicles parked
in violation of University
regulations. Officials at the
University's Department of
Security claimed, however, that
towing, at the owner's expense, will
be executed only in extreme cases.

According to Mr. Gregg, the
University Committee on Traffic
Control is working on a parking
meter plan to provide parking for
visitors. It will at or
