While city ! planners grapple with the auto mobile parking problem, four Duquesnc University students are seeing to it that a similar di lemma is averted when heli copters come of age. The four submitted a paper ex plaining m elaborate detail how Pittsburgh could set up parking facilities for 16.900 of the "uhirlybirds." The helicopter problem, how ever, is strictly one for the fu ture. Right now there are only four such privately-owned craft in all of Pennsylvania.
