The tut musical "Godspell" and "The Wakefield Mystery
Cycle' will Ik* the first productions of the University
Theatre this year, according to Dr. Leighton Ballew,
drama department head
In spite of the fact that the University Theatre is open
to all students regardless of their major, we still find many
juniors, seniors and graduate students who think that they
cannot work backstage or onstage as actors in University
Theatre productions," Ballew said
Furthermore, we need singers and musicians, including
two pianists and two guitarists and one percussion player
plus other musicians, for 'Godspell'." he continued.
"Here is a chance for all interested students to
participate in 'Godspell' which is a smash hit in New York.
Paris and Uindon and is still playing in all three cities. We
! were lent unate in securing one of the early releases on the
musical which will be* the first production of the season.”
Ballew said.
Anne Gullestad. leading actress and director from the
National Theatre in Bergen. Norway, will direct "God-
sjiell." Ballew said Gullestad siaged a successful
production of "Peer Gynt" five years ago at the
University.

season will be taken out into the community to churches
and street corners while the Fine Arts auditorium is being
renovated. Ballew said.
Ballew said that the play choice had not been affected by
lack of .1 .#ifRl r and that the season’s productions would
provide more of a challenge than the customary formal
theater.
More people are being attracted to the sets now.
probably out of curiosity, he continued, to see plays
performed without the usual boundaries.
The l niversily Theatre will hold an Open House tonight
in r»l Fine Arts for students to meet the staff and try out
lor "Godspell" and "The Wakefield Mystery Cycle.”

The University Department
of Public Safety expects to
issue 12.000 student parking
permits this fall, according to
Marvin Van Vleck. director
Students may receive their
permits at the stock pens at
the Coliseum, beginning Sep
tember 16. Van Vleck said
Vehicle registration will conti
nue at the Coliseum through
tomorrow After that date,
parking stickers may be ob
tained at the Public Safety
office, he said
According to Van Vleck.
there will be no charge for
vehicle registration. "The $4 50
transportation fee each student
pays allows him to use the
bus system and receive a
University parking permit." he
said
THE PROCEDURE for ob
taining a permit will be slight
ly different this year. Van
Vleck said. "Students who
registered cars last year will
retain their registration num
ber. but their lot assignment
could change." he explained
"We will check every name
against a computer printout."
he said "This procedure will
save us from having to key
punch information such as
name, address and social secu
rity number for students who
were registered last year."
Van Vleck explained that if a
student has lost his vehicle
registration number from last
year, he will receive a new
one. “The only difference is
that the form for a new number
will bo longer However, since
each new sticker will require a
new keypunch. 1 think we’re
creating a bigger problem than
we started off with," he said is uncertain.
( BOWDED parking eondi- Van Vleck stated that there
tions can be expected again will be no major zone changes
this year. Van Vleck said He this year. Zones are available
noted that the number of as follows:
The energy crisis hasn't cut down on
the number of cars, all it has done is
added bicycles and motorcycles'
--Van Vleck
reduced overcrowded parking
conditions on campus "Even
though we gave car pools
priority, they were unsuccess
ful," he said. “This is due to
the differences in class sche
dules and schools among stu
dents We won't mess with ear
pools initially fall quarter, but
we may establish them again
after drop-take when every
thing settles down," he added
SPECIAL parking arrange
ments will be made to handle
the traffic overflow during
football games, Van Vleck
said. He explained that the
area from Baldwin St. to Cedar
St. and from Lumpkin to East
Campus Rd. will be reserved
for football traffic.. Only those
cars with a special sticker will
be allowed to pass through the
barricades.
The parking lots behind the
Bookstore and Stegeman will
be reserved for Bulldog Club
members. People with club
level seats will be able to park
in the faculty lots on the south
side of the stadium and in the
key card lots on the north side,
Van Vleck said. Buses and
police cars will be parked on
the bridge under controlled
parking conditions, he added.
"Traffic is no major problem
during football games unless it
rains," Van Vleck said. "Then
people wait until game time to
show up, and a traffic problem
results.”
"We will have city police and
national guard units from Fort
Cordon to assist with handling
the traffic,” said Van Vleck.
"There will be an officer at
each important intersection be
fore the game, and an officer
at every intersection after the
game. Traffic usually clears
out 30 or 45 minutes after the
game,” he added.
registered cars will increase
slightly, while a major increase
in the number of bicycles and
motorcycles is expected.
“The energy crisis hasn't cut
down on the number of cars,"
said Van Vleck “All it has
done is added bicycles and
motorcycles." He added that
the Department of Public Safe
ty anticipates registering 1,000
motorbikes and 2.IKX) bicycles
Van Vleck blamed the crowd
ed parking conditions on the
schedule of classes. "We have'
>0 000 spaces for 20,000 cars."
he said "All lots will be
extremely crowded, especially
during third, fourth, and fifth
periods because of the number
of classes scheduled during
that time."
PLANS for addition of both a
temporary and a permanent
parking lot are being imple
mented. according to Van
Vleck. The temporary lot, loca
ted on the east side of the
railroad tracks near Aderhold,
will bo available for use this
fall It will provide an addition
al 400 X-zone parking spaces,
according to Van Vleck
The permanent parking area
will also be located on the east
side of the tracks According to
Van Vleck. its completion date
J- and B-zones — graduate
students

seniors, juniors

G-zone — graduate, senior,

M-zone — graduate students,
seniors, and resident assistants

"STUDENTS suffer because
the faculty gets parking priori
ty," Van Vleck said. "There
will be 5.000 cars registered in
X-zone perimeter lots because
there is no space for them in
the interior of the campus."
Van Vleck attributed the
lack of interior parking spaces
to poor campus planning. “We
felt the addition to the library
was put in the wrong place,”
he said "It eliminated 350
parking spaces that accomoda
ted 700 to 1,000 people."
According to Van Vleck, car
pools have not significantly
New student handbook shorter;
some regulation changes made
The new student handbook,
now available at key points
around campus, contains seve
ral changes from last year's
handbook, including a decrease
in size from about 65 to 40
pages, according to David Flet
cher. assistant to the dean of
student affairs
The 12.000 copies of the new
handbook have been distribu
ted to dormitories, the student
activities center, and were
available at the coliseum dur
ing registration
Fletcher said the decrease in
size was due to the deletion of
several sections to prevent
unnecessary duplication of in
formation.
Information about the stu
dent judiciary and judicial
procedure is not included this
year since the judiciary is
printing a separate handbook
containing that information.
Flecther said
The section concerning motor
vehicle regulations on campus
was deleted since the informa
tion is available from the
Public Safety Department.
Fletcher said some information
provided in past handbooks
was left out since it is also
available in the University
catalog
The new handbook contains
cross references to help stu
dents obtain the information
from the new sources.
Buie changes made by the
University council have also
caused changes in other sec
tions. most notably in the
housing regulations area, said
Fletcher, but rules governing
student clubs and organizations
were also changed
