Although 16,542 tickets were is

the Texas A&M University campus,
the number is lower than that of
previous semesters, according to
Sgt. 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
