Staff Parking
Survey Results
Told Yesterday
- By BOB SLOAN
Battalion Staff Writer
The results of a survey concern
ing the proposed faculty and staff
parking regulations were released
Wednesday by James P. Hannigan,
dean of students.
The plan would mean that fac
ulty and staff members would have
to pay an annual vehicle registra
tion fee of .$7.50, provided they
,use regular parking space. Per
sons who do not wish to pay the
$7.50 fee may pay a $1 fee and
will be able to park in one of the
'-“fringe” parking lots. These lots
are located on the south side of the
campus in the lot southeast of
Kyle Field and on the north side
of the campus in the lot east of
the B&CU building.
About 1,900 persons have asked
for individual parking spaces.
About 100 persons indicated they
would park in the fringe parking
areas. There are about 2,300
available parking spaces on the
campus according to Bennie A.
Zinn, director of the Department
of Student Affairs.
^ He added that the fringe per
mits barred parking in any zoned
areas on the campus from 7 a.m.-
5 p.m. daily, Monday through Fri-
''jay, and from 7 a.m.-noon on Sat
urdays.
Faculty and staff ^members v/ho
pay the $7.50 fee are entitled to a
windshield sticker which will au
thorize parking within his ai'ea
or zone and at “Reserved—Vis
itor” places in all other zoned

the Civilian Student Council meet

Chamber of the Memorial Student
Center.
Old business will include a re
port from the Parking Committee,

mittee and a Chaplain’s Report,
Mike Carlo, secretary, said today.
Dean of Students James P. Han
nigan was honored guest at the
last meeting and he said that he
hoped to get to know all the coun
cil members well and added that
if he could help them with their
••problems in any way, they should
not hesitate to come and see him.
areas, said Hannigan.
He added that each of the six
zoned areas will be assigned to an
administrative staff officer who
may make specific assignments to
staff members in a parking lot or
to a specific place on the street.
Registrants may register addi
tional vehicles at $1 each, said
Hannigan. For the current year
the $7.50 registration fee will be
reduced to approximately $5 to ac
count for the months which will
have already passed before the
plan goes ipto effect.
Hannigan said that the Execu
tive Committee will have to decide
on the final plan. “It will take a
couple of months for the lots to
be painted and spaces assigned.
We hope to start registering ve
hicles some time before Christmas
and start parking in the new places
about Jan. 1,” he said.
“As soon as some definite de
cisions have been made, we wall
put out the information,” Hanni
gan said.
Hannigan stressed that student
wives who work on the campus will
continue to receive student regis
tration stickers as in the past.
This is the student permit with
special permit to park at the place
of work.
U. S. Department of Agriculture
and U. S. Post Office employes
who will park in the government-
owned lots will not have to get the
campus sticker, Hannigan said. He
added that if the cars were to be
parked on campus, the sticker
would be necessary.
Graduate teaching assistants, if
they are enrolled in any courses,
will get the student parking permit
plus a special permit for parking
at the place of their employment.
Persons employed in janitorial
woi-k and whose cars will be parked
on campus only after 5 p.m. or be
fore 7 a.m. will need only the $1
parking permit, said Hannigan.
