Plenty of parking on periphery By ELI JONES Battalion Reporter With enrollment increasing each year at Texas A&M Universi ty, finding parking places on cam pus is getting to be more of a chore. The parking problem lies not in the number of spaces avail able, but in where people want to park, says a Texas A&M official. Howard Perry, associate vice president of student services said: “There are plenty of parking spaces available in the peripheral lots. Students just waste 15 to 20 minutes looking for spaces that are Students prefer to park in spaces close to classes closest to their classes — there is just not a lot of student parking in the center of campus. ” There are currently 23,371 re gistered vehicles on campus with 18,100 spaces available, Tom Par sons, director of security and traf fic said. This means that 5,271, or 29 percent of all registered vehi cles are left without available parking spaces. Duplicate stickers for faculty with more than one car account for 2,000 to 3,000 of the registered vehicles; however, one car is allowed on campus at a time. “We are not in bad shape right now,” Parsons said. “We still have parking open by the old football practice field and by Olsen field. These lots are just not where peo ple want to park. As long as we have these spaces available, the board of regents will not approve the building of additional parking lots.” Texas A&M picked up an addi tional 1,000 spaces this year, Par sons said. Some of these additional spaces were built because of the completion of the new medical facility on the west side of campus. Additional spaces also are being improved where the old football practice field was located. The ex tension on the Zachry parking lot also was completed this summer. Perry said: “Parking is one thing that people really get emo tional about. It is always a big deal. If everybody would park where they are supposed to, our parking problems would be less. Texas A&M’s student services strive to keep up with enrollment, but we know we can’t provide sufficient parking for everybody to park where they want.” Good Samaritan pays fees for needy college student United Press International 1 CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A good Samaritan paid the $571 bill for Diane Bergemann’s next-to- last semester at Mount Mercy lollege, then vanished from the Mege’s business office without |aving a clue of identification. The financially strapped senior |iys she doesn’t know who paid ; her first semester tuition. Bergemann, 23, said Tuesday she would have had to take out another loan to pay the tuition if college officials had not told her the $571 bill was paid Aug. 18 by a person who left without a receipt. “The person must know I’ve been paying for college on my own, ” she said. “I suppose I could start going up and asking people: ‘Did you give me the money?’ But the person obviously meant it to be anonymous and I’m beginning to accept that.” iave i® 5 drevi ((! ytheifl aJf!: jerci^ ichis^ ,d# that^ jlefof 1 ’ /flf BREEZY DEAL Great for Dorm or Desk only 7" high BREEZY-2 SOFTBLADES 2-Speeds 29 Watts 130 cu. ft./min.
