Students are parking in faculty/staff lots, faculty/staff are parking in fire lanes and cars without parking pennits are ~~~ parking wherever their drivers wish. These problems are compounded by the fact that the campus police seem to be half-hearted1y ticketing illegally parked cars, in effect, indirectly encouraging people to park illegally with the thought that they won't get caught Due to several complaints and blocked fire lanes, UM-St. Louis Police Chief John Pickens requested last August that all graduate teaching assistants and research assistants return their faculty/staff permits. There didn't seem to be enough spaces in front of the science complex to accommodate all 103 of these graduate students. Half of the students returned their permits, half didn't The campus police have been ticketing those students who have not returned their permits. In an attempt to allevite this problem, the Physical Facilities Committee proposed a conversion of Lot "f' into faculty/staff parking. The committee apparently wanted to use those 92 spaces in Lot "f' to give preferential parking spots to those graduate students whose permits had been revoked. The proposal was tabled by the senate. The physical facilities committee has now proposed that the graduate teaching assistants receive temporary faculty/staff per mits until the committee can better study the problem and propose a solution. Research assistants are now being asked to buy student permits and park in the student lots. This seems to be a problem that will only continue to grow. The physical facilities commit,tee is not going to find a solution, especially with the recent addition of the Computer Center Building. The new 'residents' of this $7.5 million structure are now parking in garage "N" and along West Drive. Some of these faculty and staff members were moved from Clark Hall and were parking in the Garages "C" and "D", on the east side of North Campus, an area that does not have the parking congestion that Local Judge Remembers Marshall As Teacher And Friend West Drive does. responded wi th liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir=:::;::::;:;;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Now there are plans to build a Center of Molecular Electron by Judge Clyde C.
