OCA tells traffic rep
about parking woes
By USCHI MICHEL-HOWELL
Battalion Staff
Changes in parking space allotments for the next fall semester were
the focus of a discussion between a member of the Traffic Panel and
off-campus students, Tuesday night.
Paul Bettencourt, chairman of the Motor Vehicle Regulations Sub
committee of the University Traffic Panel came to the Off-Campus
Aggies Meeting to get student input on the use of about 1,400 new
parking spaces, currently under construction.
Presently 900 new spaces are being built adjacent to the blue-sticker
day student lot at Zachry Engineering Center. One-hundred fifty of
the new spaces will be allotted to staff and faculty, with the rest to
students, Bettencourt said.
Five hundred spaces will possibly be rezoned at Kyle Field.
Complaints were voiced about on-campus students taking up off-
campus parking spaces.
Bettencourt said that it is not possible to check each student’s true
residence at the time he registers for a sticker. This semester, 58
students with incorrect stickers have been identified by University
Police, he said.
The final decision on the lots will be made in early spring to be
effective next fall, he added.
Russian pianist Bella Davidovich receives the applause of the crowd during last night’s performance in Rudder Auditorium.
Take
«|goes. She drives and drives with
mite streaks for hands and then mo
ments later, she changes tempo and
I tarts picking out single keys like a
L lunt-and-peck typist.
. , : | And for once I could tell when the
111 gel jj ece ended. Davidovich has a pa-
J tently Russian flair for the dramatic,
pe doesn’t merely end a piece and
move her hands. No, Davidovich
rows her hands off the keys as if
ley were red hot.
And that’s what she is on her first
American tour. Davidovich recently
emigrated from the Soviet Union af
ter her 1978 western tour was cancel
led by U.S.S.R. authorities.
Although the crowd was consider
ably less than capacity, those attend
ing were highly appreciative. She re
ceived two standing ovations during
the performance and the audience
almost didn’t let her leave for inter
mission.
“She’s the best we’ve ever had,”
said one mink-clad woman.
“Gee, do you think we could get
her again tomorrow?” asked another.
