The traffic problem this year was obvious to anyone who tried to park their car on campus at about 10 o'clock in the morning. But if one's own experience was not enough to verify this problem, a look at registration statistics was. With over 3,500 student cars registered, and only 2,600 spaces available, SEMO had a definite parking problem. ln December, the Board of Regents resolved to do something about it. The administration was authorized to engage a professional agency to conduct a comprehensive study of the problem and to suggest solutions. One solution considered by the Regents was a multi-level parking garage. Dr. A. R. Meyer, vice-president of Administrative Services, reported that a 500 space garage would cost 551.3 million. This would break down to an expense of 51.50 per space per day for the next 20 years. F3321 A -V , . N o fs if - - .4- S. 'U . - ..,a.uw.vw-v'- -I- 'll 10 Traffic
