Dear Editor,

When I began taking courses to- ward a second degree a few semes- ters ago, I actually found the experi- ence at KSU a stress-reliever com- pared to my normal day with 2 small children. No more. The parking situ- ation is stressful enough, but the comments in the parking article are enough to make me go over the top. To imply students are whiny and lazy because they don’t want to use spots “less convenient” is an oversimplified and ignorant statement. Yes, the day that a 19- year-old able-bodied guy with a “GOLDS GYM” pass hanging from his key chain cut me off for a closer spot it did seem ridicu- lous. But what Kort Peterson must not realize is that some students take classes at night, and for us parking becomes a matter of per- sonal safety.
