Z^Parking spaces
Steadily being lost
C DIPk.1 By DIANE BLAKE

& Although there are few parking places on the main campus now,
-I IWCDythe outlook for day students and male dormitory residents is even
* c * r "worse. Tom Parsons, director of security and traffic, said that last
% QO {Semester about 550 spaces were lost, mostly due to construction.
east s *^ e °f Kyle Field, 146 day student and 82 male dorm
student parking spaces were fenced off for construction. In lot 62 next
Wofford Cain Pool, 226 day student spaces were fenced.
A barracks building was moved to lot 8, taking 98 parking places.
“Day students also lost 116 spaces in lot 5 near Zachry Engineering
-y i Center.
1 IlC '‘ Since I began this job July 1, 1977, there have been 1,120 spaces
lost, mostly because of construction,” Parsons said.
Many of these spaces will not be restored, he said.
The Kyle Field expansion will permanently take up some of the
parking places in lots 48 and 62, and day students and male dorm
residents will lose even more places when new women’s dormitories
are completed, he said.
[ “It is the University’s policy to provide close-in parking for girls,”
Parsons said. He estimated that 400 spaces in lots 9 and 31 behind
Eaw Hall will be reserved for> residents of the new women’s dorms.
When construction on Kyle
- began at the end of last semes
ter, parking areas had to be
fenced off. This area on the east
side of Kyle Field was made off-
limits, eliminating 146 day stu
dent spaces and 82 male dorm
spaces.

Some 250 additional staff, re
search and support personnel joined
the institution during 1978, for a
payroll equivalent of the addition of
three medium-size industrial firms
for the community.
Students contributed over $56
million to the local economy, up
nearly $4.6 million. Food and hous
ing account for the major expendi
tures, along with clothing, school
supplies and recreation.
The University spent about $11.1
million locally for utilities, services
and supplies. Expenditures in this
category rose about $800,000.
Visitors attending athletic events,
conferences and short courses at the
University accounted for approxi
mately $8.5 million, an increase of
also about $800,000. Most expendi
tures in this category were for food,
lodging and entertainment.
The University paid about $14
million to contractors for construc
tion on campus. These payments
also influence the local econmoy be
cause of contractor purchases and
employment of area residents. Mil
ler said.
