Can I find a place to park? th w w By Aubrey Densley Sun f Editor-in-chie- I put footprints and Hershey Kisses all over his room with a note that said, Now that Ive kissed the ground that you walk on, will you go to Sadies with me? I sent him a rose, then to Harmons to sing a song. Last, he went to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream and found my name on a napkin. Georgie Brown After a long, crucial night of studying, it's hard enough to wake up early and make it on time to my 8 a.m. class. However, an even greater challenge is to get to school early enough to find a parking space evenly remotely close to campus, which sometimes takes an extra ten minutes. Even then, another five minutes can be spent walking to class because all of the available parking spaces are so far away from most classrooms. So, in all actuality, your 8 a.m. class has now become a 7:30 a.m. class. To make things even worse, a student is required to buy a $10 parking permit. Although this permit will not guarantee you a parking spot in one of the parking lots on campus, it will prevent you from getting a ticket. I bet you didn't know that you can get a ticket for parking on the street, did you? Yes, it's true. The reason being that some streets are still a part of Dixie College property, therefore you are illegally parking on the premises without a permit. And how about the"visitor parking" south of the Administration Building? I have seen our relentless campus security officers ticketing vehicles without permits in that parking lot. I know they are only doing their job, (and a mighty fine job they do) but a visitor may be misled by the "visitor parking" sign and assume they can safely park in that area without being ticketed. My question is, how do the officers determine whether or not that person is visiting? If they are, do they get ticketed for not having a permit? Well, I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much, at least 300 South no longer has potholes the size of craters. Last year I had to swerve from left to right to prevent causing any permanent damage to my car (no! that it did any good). In fact, I am very impressed with smoothness of that particular street. With the exception of one big dip, the city really out did themselves. Now, you just have to make sure you drive directly down the middle of the street avoiding the hundreds of cars parked along side of the road. The parking problem wouldn't be so irritating to me if I was aware of any immediate solutions. Sure, 300 parking spaces by the Bruce Hurst Field and another possibility of 200 temporary spaces may be available soon. But, if I have to walk that far and pay $10, 1 deserve a P.E. credit. So what about some permanent solutions to the parking problem? With the growth the College as well as the community is experiencing, we may all be riding bicycles soon. I wonder if we'll have to have permits for them too. di ar w D Gi di ca m; ch rat ba Br ho sei Ch co six W. an T is ; Jac F Member of ACP and RMCMA. ACP National Award Winner 1992 and 1993.
