A.W. Onstott of the University Police Station. In the fall of 1975, 21,100 tickets were issued, said Onstott. The next fall that number increased by 100, and this past fall the number drop ped to 16,542. He said he feels this is a result of more parking facilities and greater use of shuttle buses. The $90,295, which was collected for the tickets plus late charges paid by student “goes into a parking facilities Rind” said Capt. Morris A. Maddox, assistant chief who does administrative work at the station. The funds are currently being used for maintenance of the existing park ing lots and for plans to add to them.
