      Students
      looking

      implemented
      in
      2007.
     
    

    
     
      The
      new
      parking
      system
      was
     
     
      applied

      Students

      Although
     
     
      the
      deadline
      is
      well
      past,
      the
      desig-
     
     
      nated
      parking
      areas
      remain
      com-
     
     
      paratively
      empty,
      as
      many
      students
     
     
      balk
      at
      the
      $50
      upgrade
      fee.

      a
      regular
      full
      time
      permit
     
     
      goes
      at
      a

      of
      $80,
      with
      a
      $40
     
     
      fee
      for
      each
      additional
      vehicle,
      the
     
     
      designated
      parking
      is
      available
      at
      a

      Neither
      pass
     
     
      guarantees
      a
      parking
      spot,
     
     
      although
      the
      available
      brochure
     
     
      advertises
      that
      passes
      available
      at
     
     
      the
      CARI

      cost

      $82
      per
      student
      and
      that
     
     
      there
      is
      usually
      "ample
      parking"
     
     
      available.
      The
      brochure
      neglects
      to
     
     
      mention
      the
      considerable
      distance
     
     
      from
      the
      parking
      lot
      at
      the
      CARI
     
     
      centre
      to
      most
      of
      the
      buildings
      on
     
     
      campus,
      which
      many
      students
      feel
     
     
      is
      too
      much
      -
      particularly
      in
      poor
     
     
      weather
      condtions.

      .""Yeah,
      it's
      pretty
      far,"
      said
     
     
      Deighan,
      a
      3rd
      year
      Engineering
     
     
      major.
      "It's
      pretty
      shitty
      that
      they
     
     
      [the
      faculty]
      get
      the
      best
      spots,
     
     
      especially
      since
      the
      spots
      cost
     
     
      more
      there
      and
      they

      chase
      the
      passes]
      first."
     
    

    
     
      A
      notification
      passed
      to
     
     
      University
      officials
      indicates
      that
     
     
      information
      would
      be
      presented
      to
     
     
      students
      through
      ads
      in
      the
      Cadre,
     
     
      signage
      at
      parking
      kiosks
      and
      in
     
     
      the
      accounting
      office,
      as
      well
      as
     
     
      having
      information
      proliferated
      by
     
     
      security
      officers
      on
      campus.
      To
     
     
      date,
      the
      Cadre
      is
      yet
      to
      be
      con-
     
     
      tacted
      with
      information
      regarding
     
     
      the
      parking
      plan
      and
      the
      news
      was
     
     
      not
      communicated
      to
      many
      stu-
     
     
      dents.
      Deighan
      had
      not
      heard
      of
     
     
      the
      plan
      until
      the
      Cadre
     
     
      approached
      him
      to
      ask
      his
      opinion.
     
    

    
     
      "I
      really
      though
      it
      was
      the
      same
     
     
      price,"
      he
      stated.
      "I
      still
      went
      for
     
     
      the
      CARI
      pass
      because
      at
      least
      I
     
     
      knew
