There is a greater number of
improved parking spaces for the
autos of students, faculty and staff
than ever before. More remains
to be done, however.
“There are enough places on the
campus for everybody to park, if
everybody parks where they are
supposed to. Except, of course,
for football games,” says Bennie
A. Zinn, director of the Depart
ment of Student Affairs. He also
is chairman of the campus com
mittee charged with establishing
policies for the use of autos on
campus and the establishment of
suitable parking facilities. Work
ing closely with the committee is
the Office of Physical Plant staff.
Providing suitable parking
spaces with the limited funds
available (state money cannot be
used) is a step-by-step process to
catch up with a backlog of de
mands.
A BIT OF HISTORY is essential
to understanding the present situ
ation, both traffiewise and from
the viewpoint of parking. Zinn
explains that before World War
II the campus had few paved
streets, none of the students had
cars, and with many of the faculty
and staff residing on campus, there
was little demand for parking fa
cilities.
The picture began to change
after World War II and in recent
years has changed rapidly. Nearly
4,400 students registered autos in
the fall semester a year ago, more
than 3,600 in the spring semester,
and more than 2,350 faculty and
staff members registered their ve
hicles during the past academic
year.
There was this increasing need
for parking facilities and at the
same time the legislature “gave
the word” to all state educational
institutions that state funds could
not be used for such facilities.
State money was for education, not
parking spaces, the legislature
said.
PROVIDING a parking space
costs much more money than most
folks realize. The latest estimates
available at the Office of Physical
Plant indicates a contract price of
nearly $175 for each parking space
in a more than 100-car lot.
The committee annually receives
$35,000 to $40,000 from all sources.

The major source of income is the
vehicle registration fee paid each
semester by students or annually
by faculty and staff.
“The costs of the program and
improvement of parking facilities
are paid from this fund,” Zinn
stated. A careful analysis of the
time devoted to all aspects of their
work showed the 11-man Campus
Security Office force devoted to
traffic work the equivalent of the
time of two men. So, the salaries
of two men are paid out of pro
ceeds of the vehicle registration
program. Aside from this and the
cost of the decals, all other money
goes to improve parking facilities,
Zinn pointed out.
