September 29. According to the University of San Francisco Faculty Association (I'SFFAJ, as a result of the faculty resolution adopted September 3 (85-3 with two abstentions), faculty are not required lo perform voluntary services. In t.ieir view, this meeting was filled by lhe faculty and was a voluntary activity. As such, they were obligated nol to attend. However, Daniel Julius. Association Vice President For l^ibor Relations, asserted that "This was clearly not voluntary. This was a routine meeting they always to go. They go back five years. " In his view, lhe nurses' attendance at a union meeting, held at the same time as the curriculum meeting. was "insubordination. When a dean cails a meeting, and the fact Ity doesn't show up. they are engaging in insubordination and a possible work stoppage." To Julius, this meeting was pan of their customary duties to be performed in absence of a contract. Wally Montemayor. senior nursing major, viewed the boycott ofthe dean's meeting as a demonstration ofthe professors" cohesiveness. "The taculty feels threatened about Dean Bower's push for certain, specific requirements the faculty must have." Dean Bower referred all questions to Julius.

So says Joseph Costello, Diree- *•••" of the Department of Public Safety. His worry stems from a ^eral-year long neighborhood struggle to develop a preferential re**idential parking system. Neighborhood Discontent After a three-year battle, the Allied Neighborhood Association, uPset about the lack of parking sPace for themselves and visitors. succeeded in forcing the City Office of Public Works to conduct a survey into residential parking restriction. Executed last semester, the survey noted license plate numbers and checked car owners' addresses with the Department of Motor Vehicles' computer. The City determined that during an average day, 95% of the cars parked on Ignatian Heights had owners who did not reside in the neighborhood. The Office of Public Works plans to mail out questionnaires to area residents as a follow-up to the survey. The responses to this investigation, a detailed analysis of neighborhood responses to preferential parking, will be tabulated, with results available by the end of November. Contingent on positive feedback, the office will recommend to the City Board of Supervisors that from Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., non-residents will be allowed to park for two hours (sources from within City Hall state that some neighborhood officials have been pushing for a one-hour limit). Such action will probably take place in March of next year. "It's only a matter of time," asserted Ted Thompson, member of the neighborhood association. Ignatian Heights residents will receive a sticker to affix to their car; USF commuter students will not. On sides of streets adjacent to neighborhood houses, preference will prevail; on side streets adjacent to the University the current practice of "First Come, First Served" will continue (see map, page 3). Will USF Protest? Thompson believes that no objections from the University to this new plan shall be forthcoming. In his view the Association and USF "are on very good relations." ASUSF Commuter Chairperson Tyrenda Dixon stated that "it would be too early to determine if the Associated Students would fight" the neighborhood associations before the Board of Supervisors.
