Show Dly Utah Chronicle, Thursday, June 2, 1983 Page Three Task force studying U traffic by Matt Adelman Chronicle staff IRB hears report on artificial-hea-rt implantation at II the parking areas but would stop through traffic to the University. It wasn't enacted.: The administration will also continue to oppose an 11th Avenue extension, according to Gnemi. "It is inappropriate to extend (the street) to the University Hospital and terminate it there (as is proposed). It is believed some motorists would go through University parking lots to get to 1 1th Avenue, causing congestion." He said if the city would extend Wakara Way, which runs through Research Park, behind Fort Douglas and the University Hospital to connect with 1 1th Avenue, the University probably would be willing to support it. , A University administrator who asked not to be identified said some residents have proposed restructuring the parking fee The University, Salt Lake City and residents of the campus area have formed a task force to study traffic and parking problems in the area and to recommend possible changes, including the completion of 11th Avenue and the closure of ' Federal Way. Vv X? Called the University Area Joint Traffic Committee; the group is concerned with parking in residential areas around the University and the amount of traffic going in and out of the University daily. Task force members include ASUU President Mark Nelson; Walter Gnemi, University vice president for administrative services; John Hiskey, executive assistant to Salt Lake Gty Mayor Ted Wilson; and seven community members who live near the University. "Many people in the neighborhood feel it is more than a University problem because of parking and congestion (in the surrounding areas)," Gnemi said. Although the committee has met only once, the members already have a list of problems and possible solutions. Two solutions to handling the traffic problems in residential areas include making an 1 1th Avenue extension and closing Federal Way. The University currently opposes both solutions. Gnemi said the administration will continue to oppose a closure of Federal Way because it would cause more traffic problems for those trying to get to the Kennecott Research Center or to parking lots behind many fraternities. During the last closure proposal, the University offered an alternative of a left-tuban at the corner of Federal Way and North Campus Drive, This proposal would allow people to get to SALT LAKE CITY ( AP) The University's Institutional Review Board formally received a report Wednesday on the Utah artificial-hea- rt implant in Barney Clark, but made no decision on a second possible implant, a spokesman said. John Dwan, spokesman for the University Medical Center, IRB said the meeting was just one in a series the DeVries would hold before deciding whether Dr. William heart in a 'second living can place the plastic, ber system at the University. Those residents suggested the University make parking free on campus in order to decrease parking on residential streets. However, other residents have suggested the University limit the number of spaces available and dramatically increase the cost to park. This would stop students and some faculty from driving to school, some residents say. The source said the University doesn't like either suggestion. The first one would probably increase traffic in the area and the second one doesn't take into account that the University is a air-driv- "There's no hurry, no sense of urgency" to peVform, another implant, Dwan said. Clark, the first person to live with an artificial heart, died March 23 after 1 12 days of life with the device. DeVries said Clark's death was not related to the heart's performance. Dwan said he did not attend the closed, two-homeeting, ur but talked afterward with IRB members. The IRB, which oversees research on humans at the University, is deciding whether DeVries should be allowed to implant the heart in another patient suffering from inoperable degenerative heart disease. DeVries, the only surgeon authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to implant the device, already has permission to place it in a person whose natural heart stops on the operating table and can't be revived. However, Dwan said he doubted DeVries would perform another implant before the IRB issues its decision. DeVries did not attend the Wednesday meeting. IRB members have spent the past two weeks reviewing the subcommittee report, which contained a series of questions about the heart project, and committee members raised additional questions at the meeting, Dwan said. The IRB decided to forward those questions to DeVries, who is to answer them in writing, he said. Dwan said IRB chairman Dr. John Bosso also gave IRB members another two weeks to submit further questions they may have for DeVries. DeVries has been given no deadline to answer the questions, Dwan said. Bosso said the IRB will meet again on the heart project. Dwan said when Bosso was asked when the IRB might reach a decision, "He said he hoped to get through it during the on-camp- us Administration to raise parking fees the lot west of the Eyring Building and in the lot east of the School of Business.

"R" spaces are and are filled on a reserved and are sold one space to one person. Faculty and staff may also purchase "U" and "E" permits, although students may The University administration will recommend to the Institutional Council June 13 that free economy parking permits lot prices be be sold next year for $10 and that maximum-pa- y doubled. The University is also suggesting increasing the number of spaces at the "E" lot on Guardsman Way and turning some "A" . first-com- soaces into new "P" soaces. Walter Gnemi, vice president for administrative services, said those wanting "E" permits will pay $10 because of the cost of upgrading the Guardsman Way "E" lot, which will total almost $600,000. Under the administration's plan, the lot will be expanded from 225 spaces to 975 lighted, landscaped and generally upgraded for improved access by vehicle and foot, Gnemi said. If the plan is approved, pay lots will cost 50 cents for the first 36 minutes, $1 an hour and a daily maximum of $4. The maximum this year is $2. Meter rates will be 25 cents a halfhour. An "A? day pass will be increased to $1.50anda "U" day pass to' $1. X "., ; ,X v X C : XXXrXKsX5X says will allow easier found spaces duringvpeak periods.

According to John Wright, Parking Services director, cars no longer will be towed away unless they are parked at a red curb, in a fire lane or in front of a driveway. Instead, vehicles of those, with multiple violations will be immobolized by a wheel-lockidevice and the owner must pay $15 plus fines to have the device removed. Formerly, impounded cars were taken to the city lot where the owner would have to pay $32 plus fines. Gnemi said the University will continue to work toward getting state funds for a multilevel parking structure. Eventually the state legislature will need to fund such a structure or provide mass transit for students and faculty. "We believe stragetically-locate- d solution to structures are the only permanent long-ranso far said.

The subcommittee report and the related questions were being kept confidential by the IRB, but Dwan said, "I would assume the questions would involve the whole range of the project."

The Soviets won't reduce arms "out of the goodness of their hearts." Finally, on the national budget, Garn said there are no good budget alternatives: all have $200 billion deficits. ke Underlying problems in the Social Security system are "because we will not face up to some structural changes that need to be survival."

"There is no doubt that a lot of causes of the unrest in Central and South America are due to poverty." No administration has paid enough attention because they have been more interested in Europe and Israel, he said. The United States should continue to help the people in El Salvador, Garn said, but under no circumstances should American troops be sent there. Garn advocates giving the $ 1 10 million in aid to El Salvador that President Reagan wants and not the $60 million proposed by Congress. With that amount, according to Garn, the Salvadqrans could take care of themselves. o o o 0 No Friday Noon Dovotional ' this wook Institute classes continue until Fri, June 3 X Summer Quarter Institute Class schedules now available Itcglctsr Nowr Friday, June 3 Marriott Plasa Hawaiian Luau end Dcnco Music by "London Drldoo" ' o 6 o o o f' o o Ou o o o o for Luau and dance o donee(4 Free with with Institute o or University ID. o o o at Institute X eurcheirt t o 0 o oooooo oooo O: 0s ' print class schedules" incorrectly stated that class schedules are available at the Bookstore.
