PARKING, continued from page 1 Oxford Sessions Anniversary Concert Local musicians perform for guests on the roof of the University Club Wednesday night. “You can’t get there as fast, and you are too busy looking for a spot. It will certainly increase emails in- stead of meetings in their office.” Accessibility to professors is im- portant for many students, includ- ing junior political science major Ian Ford. “I’d much rather meet a teacher in person,” said Ford. “I can look at them in person and know that their full attention is on me and vice versa. They can see that I’m going to them because I’m going to class, and that I am taking time out of my schedule also to go and talk to them.” If the faculty parking lot is full, faculty members now have to pay one dollar to park in visitor spots, something that Twittey says adds JARED BURLESON | The Daily Mississippian to the accessibility issues. “(This) leads to a lot of frustra- tion and discourages us from com- ing to campus as often as we might like,” Twittey said. “An accessible faculty is, in part, a function of a sensible parking policy.” One recurring suggested solu- tion to fix the parking problem is a parking garage. “I think the whole parking situ- ation is pretty much messed up in general,” said Ford. “I think Ole Miss is a growing campus and I think it’s about time to build a parking garage. I think you can put one behind the Ridges, those fresh- man dorms, and nobody would ever really see them that way.”
