How UCF will look
in the Year 2000
Picture the campus as you know it
today and then turn to Pages 4 and 5 to
see what planners think it should look
like 15 years from now. The circular
pattern of streets and sidewalks,
devised 20 years ago, is hardly noticeable on the grounds today, but the map
of the future shows that traffic patterns
are going to be dominated by the hub
circle and its radii.
Excerpts of the Master Plan of Development pick up on Page 3 and lead into
the map.
are invited. All Career Service
employees are invited, too, to enjoy the
party and give the retirees a sendoff.
Those to be honored include Jane M.

Julius Dudash (custodian/Building Services), Alexander Grihorash (senior
operating engineer/HVAC), Thomas
Jefferson (custodian/Creative School),
Howard Mahoney (engineering technician/South Orlando Campus), Richard
Neuhaus (assistant director/Physical
Plant), Dorothy (Staples) Segool (senior
secretary/Engineering) and Martha
Hyatt (secretary specialist/Engineering).
Eric Lesko, instructor in the UCF
Music Department and a classic guitarist, will entertain.
Refreshments will be served.

Two new signal lights
to help UCF
Parking relief also on the way
A signal light with time for four-way
left turns is scheduled for installation at
Alafaya Trail and Centaurus Drive, possibly by opening of fall term on Aug. 26.
A previously approved signal at Alafaya and Research Parkway may also be
in operation by late August.
And on campus, workmen will rush to
complete another temporary parking lot.
These are measures being taken to
make it easier to get on campus and
park during the expected rush as the
Seacrist issues
warning to park
bikes properly
Improperly parked bicycles have
created numerous navigational problems for the handicapped on campus.
Public Safety Director Ron Seacrist said
in announcing a new education and
enforcement program.
University police will put out notices
for the rest of the summer and at the
beginning of the fall semester, he said,
warning that after sufficient notice violators will be fined and illegally parked
bikes will be impounded.
The problem comes from chaining
bikes to signs, posts, trees and handrails, parking in breezeways, or on
access ramps, presenting obstacles for
the handicapped.
Seacrist noted that additional bike
racks have been installed in strategic
areas on campus to alleviate
overcrowding.

invitation, prepared remarks on Soviet

Intelligence Agency conference in

growing University reaches its annual
peak population.
University Engineer Mike Spinnato
said the left turn demand for traffic
arriving and leaving campus during
peak hours causes long lines that keep
getting worse. Florida Department of
Transportation made a recent traffic
count and found that a control device
was justified. The administration authorized it and bids will be taken on July
26.
On the west side of Alafaya, West-
inghouse Corp. has one of two entrances to its plant and at 8 in the morning
and 5 in the evening students and
employees of the neighboring industry
are at cross-lane purposes to get where
they are going.
Westinghouse has agreed to contribute $10,000 toward the $30,000 budgeted for signal installation, Spinnato
said.
In its survey for the light, DOT found
that Aquarius Drive intersects with Alafaya too close to Centaurus and the
University agreed to close Aquarius
between Alafaya and Gemini Boulevard
West.
Central Florida Research Park is
financing installation of the signal at
Research Parkway and Alafaya. The
new lights will control traffic at the
north and south entrances to the campus. One other light, at Alafaya and
University Boulevard, is going to get
upgraded for left turn times, Spinnato
said, but no date is indicated.
When the builder moved in to put up
Athletic Facility-Phase II he closed
Temporary 200 parking lot. To make up
for 350 spaces lost, Spinnato said, a
larger area will be cleared of trees and
the ground stabilized for parking immediately east of Lot 1 E, the last one on
campus to be paved.
Bids on tree clearing and ground stabilizing with clay or limerock will be
taken on July 31.
Summer commencement in two rites
More than 750 graduates will be
awarded degrees Aug. 2 during summer
commencement.
As in the past, there will be two
ceremonies — at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. — in
the UCF gymnasium.
Speakers for the occasion will be Dr.
Luis M. Perez, Sanford physician and
president of the Florida Medical Association, and Winter Park contractor Allen
Trovillion, who has long been associated with the university.
Graduates in the Colleges of Arts and
Sciences, Education, Health and Liberal
Studies will hear Perez at the 1 p.m.
ceremony. Trovillion will speak to those
in Business Administration and
Engineering.
Families and guests of graduates
should arrive in time to be seated 15
minutes before the scheduled starting
times. Parking areas will be designated
and UCF police will be on hand for
assistance.
