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.”
