While she was billed at registration for outstanding tickets from previous quarters, she has already received nine tickets for this quarter alone. Brown said she will appeal to the UM Traffic Board on Feb. 1 for a waiver from paying the tickets. If the waiver is not granted Brown said she will take legal action. She said that as a typical student living on a budget the cost of the tickets makes it difficult for her to go to school. "They’re taking my grocery money away," Brown said. Brown said she talked with UM President Neil Bucklew after receiving the ninth ticket yesterday. “Bucklew shrugged his shoulders'* as if "he could care less” when confronted with the issue. Brown said. Despite repeated attempts, the Kaimin was unable to reach Bucklew yesterday for comment.
