Now, approaching her 80th birthday in December, she looks 20 years younger. Dressed in a pastel skirt and sweater, she walks with a bounce and still has the twinkle in her eye. Chapmans favorite experiences involved her students. I got great satisfaction from teaching and the students, I think, had a great deal to do with that, she said. Janet Palmer described Chapman saying, She belongs to the great traditions of professors who have prepared themselves with such a wealth of information and insight that she is very special. Palmer continued, Her marvelous vocabulary and her way of lecturing made it so that the students were never bored and could have listened to her all day. She is truly a great lady. Chapman enjoys flying to England to visit her married daughter, but has no special plans for the future, saying she is enjoying her long needed rest. In talking about Westminster, Chapman said one of the things that has always impressed her about the College is its capacity to survive. I cant remember a time when the College wasn't threatened by a lack of funds, she said, but it has always survived and I think that is partly because of the many people who recognize that a small private college in Salt Lake has a real place in the community. book-panell- ed always had a little bit of stage fright, she said.

Parking Problems a Matter of Convenience Parking problems are a matter of competition for convenience, not insufficient space, according to staff and student observers. Craig Green, dean of admissions and records, says Westminster doesnt have a parking problem compared to parking at the University, where students walk a mile to class. One student observer, who spends 43 hours a week on Westminster campus, has found that when double parking and traffic congestion is at its worst in lots adjacent to the Science Building and west of Foster Hall, there are still spaces in other lots for willing walkers. Students double park in the convenient lots to avoid the walk from lots on the south and west sides of the campus, according to a sophomore commuter. The sophomore says that the situation appears to be at its worst on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, possibly due to heavier class scheduling on those days. Renee Dale, administrative assistant to Green, says shes concerned by students discourteous use of the visitors space north of Bamberger Hall. Students should not park there. A junior warned that illegal parking may be more dangerous than convenient. If the heavy rainfall situation continues, cars on the bank of Emigration Creek could slip in, she said.
