Parking and
construction
In coming months UCSC will be
embarking on several major
construction projects, according to Lou Fackler, associate vice
chancellor for facilities, some of
which will have an impact on
parking. Construction of the
campus's new 72,000-square-foot
Science Library, to be built on the
north side of Nat Sci 2, is scheduled to begin in mid-May, says
Fackler. He adds that library
construction will require the use of
the nearby 82-space parking lot
(Lot #121) as a staging area for the
project. The lot will be closed
temporarily beginning in mid-May,
reducing parking for the science
complex. Most of that lot will be
reopened when the Science Library
is completed in fall 1990.
Fackler says that in an effort to
minimize inconvenience to those
working at or using nearby facili-

East-side bus
On Monday, April 3, the Metropolitan Transit District
will initiate direct bus
service between the east side of
Santa Cruz (the Seabright-Harbor
district) and the UCSC campus.
Buses will be provided on a
regularly scheduled basis and the
service has been designated Route
12 UC Harbor/Direct. These buses
will go directly to the campus and
not stop at the downtown Metro
Center. For information on schedules, call the transit district or ext.
2228.
Metro bus passes are available
through the campus for $48 per
year or $16 per quarter, a large
savings over the $288 annual cost
of a bus pass purchased through
the district.

Coastal hazards
Whether it's a private house
or a public recreational
area, building on the
coast of an open sea is asking for
trouble, says UCSC professor of
earth sciences Gary Griggs.
"Waves, tides, wind, storms,
rain, and runoff combine to wear
down and reshape this 'meeting
place' of land and sea," says
Griggs. "And, of course, it is not
going to stop. The erosion or
