Cruising for spots

is a way of life for
UK street hoppers

By Delmar Watkins
Sta/f ll 'riter

They prowl around L7K like steel
sharks, looking for their elusive prey.

And when they find it, they strike.

They are the street hoppers, a
breed of people that refuse to pay
UK‘s parking sticker prices and
instead stalks the back streets around
catnpus every iitorning trying to find
a parking space.

“I‘ve spent eight years around the
UK area, and I've found that the best
way to park is by cruising the area
and finding an empty parking space."
said Brian Latter, a geography senior.

“Cruising for a spot is part of the
UK parking game, a lot of people do
it," said David Birkhead, college of
comititinications graduate student.

“I found the spot I usually get by
blind luck," Lauer said. “but cruising
still beats a pass. You just have to figure
out where to cruise."

.Many L'K students do not like
having to pay premium prices for the
honor of parking in a UK parking
lot.

“Cruising for a spot every morning
beats having to pay money," Latter

any!“ ﬂ

said. “I had a parking pass behind
Memorial Coliseum for a semester.
and I found that it is actually better to
cruise for a spot."

“Nobody wants to pay around $100
to get a parking space for a year," Birk—
hcad said.

“If you know what you are doing
you can park free all year without park-
ing illegally." he said.

One problem with the great number

of people that park on side streets
instead ofin parking areas is the effect
that the street hoppers have on local
residents.

“Parking is a preniitiin on ()ldham
(Avenue), where I live." said Chris
Moffitt, a psychology senior. “People
from llaggin Hall and the towers park
on ()ldham instead of buying a pass.
That isn‘t bad if they only stay a few
hours, btit they park there for a long

“I usually don't have a space to
park," he said.

However. the parking conditions
at UK reward street hoppers' behav»
ior. By making convenient parking on
campus so hard to find, UK forces
students to park off campus. Latter
said.

“Achieving 40 percent is well within our

\Vatt said the key to raising the percentage is
to offer better services to the applicants with a
score of 26 or above.

"The better services we pro\idc. the better
caliber ofsttidents we will attract." \\‘att s.iltl.

The services the planning committee is talking
about include giving applicants with high \(, |

Another way the planning committee tit‘optiscs

The applicants will also be offered greater
scholarship assistance and more financial aide
than in the past.

Joan McCully, associate vice president for
planning and budget. said the funding for this
program will be paid by the Merit Scholarship
Program.

“At a later date. we will have the .lpprii'pi‘ialt‘

And the winner is Elson

The executive vice chancel-
lor at University of North
Carolina—Chapel Hill was
named the new president of
Western Michi an University
on Friday by the university's
eight-member board of
trustees.

Floyd received six ﬁrst~

lace votes in a ﬁrst-round test

Matthews, 3 \Vestcrn Michi—
gan spokesman.

The chairman of the
search committee then ro-
poscd a roll call vote, w ich
was unanimous.

After the vote, the trustees
used “dynamic," “energetic,”
and “charismatic" to describe
Floyd, who was selected over
UK Chancellor Elisabeth
Zinscr and three other candi-
dates for the position.

The selection process was
public “because our Open
Meetings Act in Michi an
re uircs that public bo ics
defibcrate in public."

Matthews said. “Thus, the
board (lid not discuss the
pros and cons of any candi—
dates."

Zinser. who also was in
the running at North (Iaroli-

chancellor's position, said
she was happy for Floyd.

‘Never an easy issue’

Parking permit costs varying as UK expands services

By Annie Gillespie
Stafan'ter

It hurts.

This characterizes the feeling
one gets while forking over a for-
tune for a parking permit each
year.

Why so expensive? Northern
Kentucky University’s student
permits are $48 a ear, Transylva—
nia’s permits just 18.

Residential and commuter per-
mits at UK: $128.

“The prices for ermits are
outrageous,” said Shelley Ward, a
social work sophomore. “I mean,
they haven’t always been this
expensive, and it is not like my
parkin spot is convenient. I have
to wal half a mile to (Common-
wealth) stadium to go anywhere.”

Joe Schuler is also unsure of
why the prices have skyrocketed.

“My understanding is that
there was a plan implemented five
years ago in regards to the parking
structure, and part of the source of
funding was the increase in the
price of permits,” said Schuler,
executive director of Academic
Affairs for Student Government
Association. “This leads me to
concern because that parking
garage is mainly for employees
and visitors.”

That’s only half right, said Don
Thornton, director of Parking and

Hoppers

Those without tags

“I live in Kirwan Tower but I
park on Woodland Drive,” said
Robert Wagner, a philosophy
freshman.

“It is closer to walk to Wood-
land than it is to get to Common—

Transportation Services.

A proposal was started in 1993
to improve the parking and trans-
portation on campus, Thornton
said. It included a permit increase
of $24 a year for teachers and stu-
dents. Before the increases were
implemented, the department
interviewed several eople and
hired a parking cons tant to hear
suggestions on how to solve the
shortage of parking.

“Parking is never an easy
issue, ”Thornton said. “There are
no easy solutions to parking prob-
lems on a large campus because
there are so many components to
consider.”

Ihe objectives for the plan of
increased prices included increas-
ing the number of commuter lots
close to the academic core,
improving the existing lots and
increasing the efficiency of the
transit system, Thornton said.

From their perspective, stu-
dents said they have seen little
improvement in the parking situa-
tion.

“I realize that the University is
trying to accommodate the cars
on campus, ”said marketing senior
Bridget Gillespie, “but I haven t
seen any real improvements in
student parking over the last four
years.”

For Nancy Mitchell, its the
continued overcrowding of stu-

wealth Stadium "

The Lexin ton City Govern—
ment has trientfto solve this prob—
lem for residents by requiring
parking passes for certain seg-
ments streets near campus.

“On Oldham, the street is
divided into three sections, and
one section is only for resi-
dents," Mofﬁtt said. “That he] s
a little, but there is still a prob-
lem.”

Local businesses also feel the
pressure from UK’s parking
woes. Fazoli’s near campus often

dent lots. “Living across from the
Law School, Ialwa see students
forced to park1 illigally,” said
Mitchell, a Spanish senior. “I
haven' t noticed any positive
chan inthe parking situation.”
ﬁrnton said many improve-
ments have been made
in the last ﬁve years.
Among them are three
new areas for com—

crowds, make it more convenient
for buses to run more frequently,
and make it safer to have late
buses.

Thornton said he understands
the dissatisfaction with the price
of the parking permits, and he
realizes other
schools' permits are
cheaper. But different
schools fund depart-

muter parkin : Parking ments differently.

said. “And ifyou park on campus,
it costs about a dollar. It is better
to cruise and walk."

The parking situation at UK
frustrates both those who have
to park and those who are
affected by the parking situa—
tlon.

“Everyone who doesn’t buy a
tag has their secrets," Birkhead
said. “I can offer a suggestion:
The best way to avoid the parking
