In fact, a central problem with campus parking is not lack of parking spaces but lack of nearby parking, Chief Cassity said. Students and others driving their cars to the campus want not only parking, but they seemingly want to park their cars and be within a few steps of the building where their classes or offices are. The parking situation is overloaded mainly on the north part of the campus, where parking space is limited and most of the i, classroom situated. f buildings are Aggravating the situation have been such things as the remodeling of the old technology building, which has lost perhaps 75 parking stalls, and the building of the new Information Building, which has taken away a dozen or so parking spaces. Chief Cassity said the campus has approximately 4,000 available parking stalls in all classifications. Of these, counts have shown around 3,800 in use during the peak period from 9 a.m. to noon during regular school. The unused stalls are the ones farthest away from the main classroom centers and in the dirt lots which have not been hard-surface- 1'he 3,800 count does not include the approximately 500 cars parked off campus in nearby streets, etc. The chief said counting absences and other factors, te 4,000 campus stalls actually are adequate to handle the number of vehicles which come daily, not all at the same time. On the south side of the campus, demand has yet to fill available parking lots. Prices are lower for B and C area parking permits, but still drivers seem to prefer to vie for space in the crowded lots on the north side of the campus. Walking from the uncrowded parking lots on the south and southeast parts of the to campus major classroom buildings on the north side for most people would take only around 10 minutes, Chief Cassity said. Still another factor is the way classes have tended to concentrate in the forenoon. The worst of the parking crunch comes between 9 a.m. and noon, and then levels off with space generally no problem in the afternoon. An obvious answer would be to switch more classes from the morning to the afternoon, but it isnt easy to work out, Chief Cassity said. Efforts are being made to increase afternoon offerings of both block and regular classes. A increase heavy in enrollment during the past year has had an obvious effect on parking, especially in the more desirable areas. Chief Cassity said the parking committee is aware of the public relations problems which arise from people coming to campus for a variety of and finding purposes parking difficult to find, or perhaps picking up parking tickets. The college does provide metered areas intended for the public, but these usually are filled with student and faculty cars whose owners would rather pay the small parking fee than walk. Chief Cassity said one remedy appears to be to for review priorities students, faculty and staff, and the community. Consideration has been given to using the large parking area at the Dee Events Center by providing shuttle bus service, but it has met only a luke warm reception. Ultimately additional parking space will have to be provided, but then major conflicts arise with those concerned about campus beautification. classroom buildings. Wasatch fault source of hazards No person has lived along the Wasatch Front long enough to have experienced the geological processes formed the mountains, canyons and valleys and therefore cannot apwhich 1 preciate these processes, according to Dr. Fred of Pashley, professor Geology and Geography at Weber State College. Dr. Pashley was the keynote speaker at the Conference of the Utah Science Teachers Association, northern Utah regions. He charted the famous Wasatch and Fault described some of the geological hazards that lie along its terrain. According to Dr. Pashley the fault runs along College - - Drive near Weber State and cuts through the campus and the football stadium, just at the foot of the east bleachers. said the professor So, Mid-Wint- t JB if a severe earthquake occurred during a football game those $3.50 tickets you bought would suddenly become $1.50 tickets because you would be from 2 to 50 feet higher than when the game started. According to the Professor although no living person has experienced a major earthquake along the Wasatch Front there have been hundreds of quakes and hundreds of other earth slippages during the past 10 to 30 million years.

He said the Wasatch Front is located within the highest of those danger zones. According to Dr. Pashley, In iMPORTANT along historic times since Brigham Young came out here the Wasatch Fault has the never slipped and off-sground. He added, however, that there have been severe earthquakes in the Ogden area within the last 1,000 . . . and probably years et within the last several hundred years. Dr. Pashley if a severe earthquake were to occur along the fault, the ground would be displaced within an area of 1500 feet west of the fault line and 200 feet east of it. He said extreme moisture, such as we have experienced these past few weeks, could also effect the stability of the ground in this area. "These materials are strong enough to resist the pull of gravity until they get too wet, he noted, then the ground breaks up and slumps and rotates backwards. Dr. Pashley described an area near the mouth of Ogden Canyon which has experienced severe ground slippage over the past few years. He said several years ago some of his students measured up to 18 inches of ground per day that was falling away. He said other geologic features of this area have been caused by canyon flooding. According to Dr. Pashley many people are building their homes in the paths of these flood areas. There is noway to use a 10 year or 100 year flood design to build a channel which would protect those people from the types of floods that are going to out of come there he warned. periodically, Dr. Pashley noted that the U.S. Geological Survey and the Corps of Engineers made a study of the area above Farmington and Centerville where severe flooding had occurred in the 1930s. He said, according to the study, That area can expect rainstorms of a magnitude greater than in the 30s and the vegetation will not hold back the floods. The Geological Survey and the Corps concluded, said Dr. Pashley, that the planning of Farmington and Centerville completely ignored that. He also noted that an,of-ficithat had been assigned to supervise he clear-U- p after the famous Rapid City, South Dakota flood visited the Ogden River area shortly thereafter and commented the You have the potential for a flood worse than ours. Dr. Pashley said because few people have experienced these severe geological processes along the Wasatch Front it is important for them to study and be with these familiar processes in order to have a full appreciation of them. al A very big camel can drink 60 or 70 quarts of water. .ft !g shot of the Weber State College campus taken Feb. 21 at about 930 a.m., a time of day when demand for parking spaces is usually highest, shows that on the south part of the campus (bottom of photo) spaces are still open.
