     Campus Parking
     (Continued from page 15)
have requested the Madison city park-
ing authority to consider erecting a mul-
ti-story parking garage near the campus,
with the understanding that the Univer-
sity will guarantee use of some of the
space. (The UW presently can't itself
build such a structure, even through
its building corporation, because of re-
strictive legislation-and the Regents
want to change the statutes so that such
a building will be allowed.)
   Another Union proposal deals with
a highly-controversial project involving
filling and landscaping on the Lake
Mendota shoreline west of Park Street.
The 1953 Legislature authorized such
a project, which would provide extra
parking very close to the Union, but
conservation and other groups succeeded
in getting the 1955 Legislature to re-
peal this authorization. The Union trus-
tees have asked the Regents to press for
another authorizing bill.
   Various other proposals aimed    at
alleviating different phases of the cam-
pus traffic problem have come. up, but
most are presently considered too expen-
sive, or otherwise too impractical. Here
are a few of them:
   * Complete prohibition of motor ve-
     hicles on campus, other than serv-
     ice cars.
   * Rules against certain groups of stu-
     dents, such as freshmen, having
     automobiles in their possession.
   0. Stricter enforcement of the rule
     against student cars on campus be-
     tween 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
   " Establishment of control stations
     at entrances to the campus, thus
     keeping unauthorized vehicles out.
   * Building parking areas in every
     available location, disregarding
     beauty of the campus (as many as
     12,000 spaces could be provided).
   " Tunnelling under the lower cam-
     pus, or under Bascom Hill, to al-
     low underground parking (more
     than twice as expensive as multi-
     level surface parking),
   * Further increasing parking fees on
     campus.
   None of these proposals can      be
counted completely out-except perhaps
the further building of lots on the
campus-since the growing pressure for
more parking is almost a certainty as
University population grows and serv-
ices increase.
   Another certainty is this: any method
of providing new parking space will re-
quire spending large sums of money,
either for capital improvements or po-
licing. (If near-campus parking lots
were to be -made self-supporting, an-
nual parking revenues from each space
would have to be from $75 to $135 or
more, depending on land costs.)
   Almost surely "in view of the urgent.
needs of the University for both capital
and operating funds for other pur-
poses," the campus planning commis-
sion pointed out, "there is little likeli-
hood of obtaining state appropriations
for the development of additional park-
ing facilities."
   And these final facts pretty well sum
up the parking dilemma. There's noth-
ing wrong that a lot of dollars wouldn't
fix up.
   But who is going to pay.?
