UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN REVIEW (PART FIVE)
Bridge To Go Up, Speed To Come Down—Cox
By TOMMY JOHNSON
—"Finding a parking place on campus during class
hours can be compared to the proverbial search for
the pin in a haystack.”
—“That darned stop light by Joe Brown! Why
the heck can’t something be done about that 17-second
wonder?”
—“What 'cha mean I’m late to class: someone
just rammed the fool out of my auto!”
These three statements, representative of hundreds
of others voiced each week by University student
drivers, point to a gigantic traffic problem confront
ing University officials.
Even though plans are in the making for many
new facilities, almost any spring quarter driver will
quickly comment that proposals are certainly doing
no good presently.
John Cox, director of Student Activities, sketched
plans for a bridge which would link north and south
campus to speed up traffic between the two areas.
However, he also noted that campus police were
cracking down on speeders presently, especially on
East Campus Road.
Some observers asked how the patrolmen, especially
a noted duo driving the truck, can stop drivers at
tempting to make classes on one section of campus
and find a parking place in just 10 minutes.
On the other hand, most students recently contacted
favor any attempt at allevating the confusion, disre
garding the time element.
Cox noted one proposal calling for a bridge which
would enable a student to drive his vehicle from
north campus across to the Science Center without
crossing Lumpkin Street or other congested through-
ways.
Again, administrative officials did not care to guess
•when construction might start—only that It would.
The parking garage is a great idea—so say all
students interviewed. Questions about its capacity,
location, and complications ensued. This reporter
could learn little about the plans from its administra
tive proponents, except that it probably would be
located where the track field is now located.
Numerous traffic tie-ups are seen daily at the
library, Herty Drive at Lumpkin street, and on Broad
at the Stegeman stop light complex.
