This summer, after a committee meeti.ng chaired by Robert 0. Salmon, dean of the college of business, technology and communication, u niversity officials in itiated some changes in campus parking, including the designated .ones (See mnp on page 9). Other changes are forthcoming, including, by year's end, the das ificatlon of a upay and park~ lot in front of the Auditorium.
