The bus fee, one quarter per day, would be more than a sticker stick-er at $7.50 per year. Some chools in the East pay over $100 a quarter for on-campus parking privileges. Mr. 'McCarry recalled his first years on campus. 'He started his job as a campus policeman in June 1948. He was the only daytime campus policeman. The first stickers were issued in 1948. "They cost 25 cents then," said Mr. McCarry. In the 16 years between 1948-1964, 1948-1964, the price of stickers was quadrupled. This fall, the price will jump to 7.5 times the present pre-sent rate. "The first I heard of it was when I read my morning paper," said Mr. McCarry. MR. McCarry is now in charge of two full time employees who collect ticket and sticker payments, pay-ments, and three daytime officers, off-icers, as well as 19 night watchmen. watch-men. "Back when I began, the automobile auto-mobile supply hadn't caught up with the demand. You had to put your name on a waiting list to buy a car. I certainly never expected ex-pected a-situation like this then," he said. Upper class students' cars are decorated with 11,024 stickers, including stickers repl a c e d; freshmen 2,486; faculty 1,351; and employees 1,431. The grand total of authorized cars on campus cam-pus is 16,292 for the 1964 year. Will the students pay the price and remain crowded? Will they ride the bus and pay anyway? Will they ride bicycles and really real-ly get some exercise? "We haven't have-n't got any idea," said Mr. McCarry. Mc-Carry. "We'll just have to wait and see." |
