Hit'em where it hurts There's no doubt about it: Commuters have a parking problem. We find ourselves with more cars and-fewer spaces, more little yellow envelopes tucked under our windshield wipers and less options for prevent- ing it, longer lines of traffic and shorter tempers. What can be done? There are a number of things we know from experience, and we should be as certain of those things as we are of the parking problems existence. For one thing, change - especially in a system as firmly rooted as GSU Parking & Transportation - doesn't happen overnight. More importantly it doesn't happen just because people stomp around complaining about it. Of all the suggestions we've heard for dealing with P&T - from driving a tank through it to blowing it up - there are only a few The George-Anne is willing to formally endorse. That's because we don't just recommend the far more rational solutions. We encourage them. These aren't quick fixes. They are instead the kind of steps people take when instituting permanent change, and they require the support of patient, educated individuals. In order for ideas like these to produce noticeable results, those involved must not be shortsighted. They must be vigilant. They must realize the universality relationships &sei of the situation we're dealing with. Campuses across the nation are in a parking crisis right now, and we don't use the term crisis loosely. A glance at virtually any college's newspaper reveals scores of news stories, editorials and letters to the same effect as this one.
