      those
      of
      the
      staff
      of
      this
      publication,
      or
     
     
      of
      the
      Student
      Union.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Every
      morning
      I
      come
      to
      the
     
     
      university
      in
      my
      little
      green
     
     
      Honda
      and
      every
      morning
      I
      have
     
     
      no
      trouble
      at
      all
      finding
      a
     
     
      place
      to
      park.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      For
      years
      I
      have
      been
      hearing
     
     
      about
      the
      terrible
      parking
     
     
      problems
      that
      the
      university
     
     
      has
      been
      having,
      but
      I
      have
      yet
     
     
      to
      experience
      any
      of
      them.
      I
     
     
      think
      that
      most
      of
      the
      students
     
     
      who
      have
      the
      troubles
      are
      also
     
     
      the
      students
      that
      are
      to
      luzy
     
     
      to
      actually
      drive
      through
      all
     
     
      the
      parking
      lots,
      let
      alone
     
     
      walk
      from
      some
      of
      the
      farthest
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ones.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Just
      because
      there
      is
      no
      spot
     
    
   
   
    
     
      in
      the
      parking
      lot
      beside
      the
     
     
      building
      you
      are
      wanting
      to
      go
     
     
      to,
      does
      not
      mean
      that
      there
      is
     
     
      not
      a
      spot
      left
      anywhere.
      If
     
     
      most
      of
      these
      drivers
      spent
     
     
      half
      the
      time
      searching
      for
      a
     
     
      spot
      that
      they
      spend
     
     
      complaining
      about
      the
     
     
      "problem",
      then
      they
      would
      not
     
     
      have
      any
      problem
      at
      all.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      have
      to
      laugh
      every
      time
      I
     
     
      see
      another
      student
      trying
      to
     
     
      walk
      through
      that
      mud
      hole
      of
      a
     
     
      parking
      lot
      along
      the
      back
      road
     
     
      just
      because
      they
      won't
      take
     
     
      the
      time
      to
      look
      around
      the
     
     
      parking
      lot
      by
      the
      barn.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      security
      department
      has
     
     
      pieie
      hangs
      full
      trying
      to
     
     
      control
      the
      parking
      lots.
     
     
      People
      feel
      that
      just
      because
     
     
      there
      are
      no
      spots
      where
      they
     
     
      want
      them,
      they
      can
      block
      a
     
     
      roadway
      or
      block
      someone
      in.
      I
     
     
      applaud
      the
      security
      department
     
     
      for
      there
      well
      done
      jobs
      but
      I
     
     
      feel
      that
      the
      only
      way
      to
      stop
     
    

    
     
      the
      problem
      of
      illegal
      parking
     
    
   
   
    
     
      is
      to
      implement
      a
      tough
      towing
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      university
      has
      fallen
      to
     
     
      some
      of
      the
      pressure
      by
     
     
      creating
      some
      new
      parking
      lots
     
     
      near
      the
      centre
      of
      campus.
      This
     
    
   
   
    
     
      _
      only
      creates
      a
      bigger
      problem
     
    
   
   
    
     
      of
      having
      cars
      zooming
      in
      to
     
     
      |
      try
      to
      get
      these
      choice
      spots.
     
    

    
     
      Also
      these
      great
      spots
      cost
      a
     
     
      grand
      total
      of
      $750
      per
      spot.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      '
      That
      bills
      up
      to
      over
      $75,000.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      At
      many
      of
      the
      campuses
      across
     
     
      the
      country,
      there
      is
      a
      fee
      for
     
     
      parking
      and
      Tear
      “1s
      +
      quite
     
     
      expensive.
      Maybe
      if
      the
     
     
      university
      started
      this
     
     
      program,
      it
      would
      be
      able
      to
     
     
      pay
      for
      .some.
      of
      the
      cost
      of
     
     
      these
      new
      parking
      lots.
      Maybe
     
     
      then
      the
      parking
      problems
      that
     
     
      the
      university
      seems
      to
      be
     
     
      having
      will
      be
      miraculously
     
     
      cleared
      up.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Parking
      happily,
