S e p temb e r 25, 1 9 8 6 / T h e Point News -5 Increased Enrollment Causes Parking Problems By SETH BALSAM To many students this year, the parking situation has been confusing. Both full time and part-time students have been baffled by the lack of information regarding parking permits. Students last year received i n f o rmation and a p p l i c a t i o n s for parking permits with college 'mailings. Students were able to obtain stickers before school started. This was d i s c o n t i n u e d for the 1986/87 school year because of co m p l a i n t s of lost stickers and applications. Parking permits this year are to be purchased directly from the business office. With this y e a r’s i n c r eased en r o l l m e n t came a larger number of cars - a fact for whi c h can be attested by the commuters forced to park on the grass next to the Somerset lot. In a major change from last year, the Somerset lot has become re g i s t e r e d parking only . A c c o rding to Jack Krafft, D i rector of Public Safety, Somerset was changed to a re g i s t e r e d lot for a variety of reasons. Somerset had become long term storage to some students who left unused cars there for long lengths of time. With parking space this year at a premium, this is no longer possible. Cars without stickers that are left u nmoved for ten days will be declared a b a n doned and towed. It is for this reason that all students, visitors, and members of the community who use college f a cilities and have a car on campus are required to get either a parking sticker or temporary pass. Plans for a new lot behind C a roline are being formulated. With the a d ditional dorm space completed in time for Fall of ’87 and enrollment climbing even further, the parking s i t u ation w i l l need even more attention. The a d ditional lot should eliminate any p o s s ibility of u n d e r c l a s s m e n not being allowed to bring cars on c a m p u s . Parking along the roadsides is illegal. Parking on the shoulders of Route 5 or Route 584(the road which runs by Kent and behind Anne Arrundel Hal l s ) i s enforced by state police, not by campus security. Copies of the new parking sticker d e s i g n a t i o n s and of legal parking areas are available from the business office. SGA Holds First Regular Meeting By JEFF SWEREN The Student Gover n m e n t A s s o c i a t i o n met this Tuesday for the first time of the 1986-87 school year in noisy lower Charles Hall with Cecelia Stephens as p r e s i d e n t . After getting under way ten m i n u t e s late, the main order of business was a ppointments. Among those ap p ointed were: P a r l i a m e n tarian - Stephanie Layton; Public Affairs C o o r dinator - Dennis James; Calvert Up p e r c l a s s Senator - Tammy Long; C aroline Upper c l a s s Senator - Rich Miller; and P.G. U p p e r c l a s s Senator - Cindy Craytor. In a d d ition, two a p p o i n t m e n t s were made to the Finance Board as well as several a p o i n t m e n t s made to s t u d e n t - f a c l u t y committees. The most important issues brought up later in the meeting were about the student on the Board of Trustees and the cable proposal, both issues results of r esolutions passed SGA. by last s p r i n g’s In the June meeting of the Board of Trustees, an ad hoc committee was set up to discuss the r e f e r r e n d u m passed by the student body c o n f i r m i n g their support by a 97% margin. The c o m mittee will give a report this S a t u r d a y’s Board meeting at 2:30 in the subject of a future Bl a c k i s t o n e Room. The a r t i c l e . meeting is open to the S t . The next SGA m e e ting Mary ’ s c o m m u n i t y . The w i l l be held on T u e s d a y , cable proposal will be October 7 at 8 p.m. in Charles Hall. o tte r s fQl The annual v a n d a l i s m and d e s t r u c t i o n of f a cilities and e q u i pment in the areas behind Somerset Hall have begun again during the last few weeks. We are less than a month into the new a c ademic year and already indic a t i o n s are that we w i l l see a record series of soccer nets torn down, deep ruts dug into playing surfaces of the varsity fields, scor e b o a d r s torn from thier u p r i g h t s etc. I walk out to our playing fields, p a r t i c u l a r l y on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, feeling mixed anger and d i s c o u r a g e m e n t as I survey dammage from the previous n i g h t’s v e h icular ’’e n t e r t a i n m e n t”. I see the scant remains of a new $90.00 soccer net t h r ough which a C hev e t t e was driven and I try to rake smoth the ruts left by jeeps and other R . V .’s (rec r e a t i o n a l ? ? vehicles) on the varsity soccer fields. I t’s easy to sprain ankles there. And we spend c o n s i d e r a b l e money on repair or r e p l a c e m e n t rather than on new items. Watch the p e r f o r m a n c e s of some of these vehicles on campus in the daytime - c a n’t we make good guesses as to who the n i g h t t i m e m a r a u d e r s are? O c c a s i o n a l l y someone is caught in these m i n d l e s s acts of destruction, but the field area is so large and the time needed to commit v a n d a l i s m so brief that we h a v e n’t had m uch success in prevention. I can only hope that students and others who want to see the fields and facili t i e s remain available and safe for our teams and many r e c r e a t i o n a l users wi l l assist us. Any d e t errant inf l u e n c e you can exert or any i n f o r m a t i o n conce r n i n g these w eekly incidents will c e r t a i n l y be appreciated. Dr . John Harvey D ire c t o r of Athletics
