Senate Proposal Laid On Shelf A proposal made by the Student Senate Feb. 21 askinp: for nro-rated campus parking permits has been vetoed by the Executive Committee, Dean of Students James P. Hanni- gan disclosed Tuesday. He said that no reduction was recommended bv the com mittee because funds from nro-rated nermits would not cover expenses of maintaining parking facilities on campus. Hannigan said. “We have an ever-increasing car nopula- tion, and we feel that so far we have been keeping ahead of the growth. However, in order to stay ahead, we’ll have to continue to receive sufficient revenue.” HE ADDED THAT oro-ration would cause a loss of more than $400 per year if the 4 ^ per year nr ice of nermits halved at mid-semester. .After receiving the com mittee’s report, Jerry Vion. chairman of the Student Senate life committee, said, “It seems to me that the Executive Commit tee has some good statistics to back up what they say. “I was sorry to see that the proposal didn’t go through, but I can see why. And I feel that any student can also see why no pro ration can be had without an initial increase in the price of the parking stickers.” The request originated in Vion’s committee and was sent to the Executive Committee by the Stu dent Senate and Hannigan. ' BENNIE A. ZINN, director of student affairs, conducted a survey for the Executive Committee to find out what student parking poli cies of other large schools are. Zinn wrote to several colleges and universities were picked at random. Twenty-three replies show ed that eight schools charged less for parking student privileges than A&M, two charge the same a- mount and 13 charge more. Louisiana State and New Mexico State Universities have no charge. Kansas University charges $1.50 per year, Cornell University charges $2 per year and Washing ton State University charges $3 per year. At the other extreme, Dartmouth College charges $30 per year, New York University charges $40 per vear and the University of Mary land charges $52 per year. THE’ SURVEY also showed that most schools had a $10 penalty for n®n-registration or failure to pro perly display stickers. Additional ly, most schools have graduated penalties starting at $2 and in creasing up to $50 for compounded violations of parking and driving rules. Vion said, “Every year a higher percentage of students bring their cars to school, and there has to be a parking place for each one of them. The state provides no funds for building’ or maintaining parking lots; All parking facilities at A&M are paid for by parking permit fees.” He said he was told permit funds pay for four items —expansion of existing facilities, construction of new parking spaces, repair of exist ing pai’king lots and full salaries for two patrolmen. “IF A PRO-RATION were put into effect now,” Vion said, “I feel that it would be detrimental to the college and the students who have cars hei’e.” He added, “I feel that pro rating parking permits, without increasing their initial cost and then cutting the price at mid semester, would lower the ex pansion of our parking facilities, so I’m not in favor of a pro-ration at the present time.
