Each zone would have a corresponding assume that the latter employee walks the same distance from car permit that would allow the permit holder to park anywhere in the to work place as the former employee. Based on the frrst two The Washington State Legislature has mandated that parking is zone. Similar to structure parking, a limit to the number of criteria, location and quality of facilities (assuming both are to be self-supported at the State's four-year colleges and univer­ permits sold for each zone would be set. This limit would depend paved), the two should pay the same price. However, this changes sities.

in the central campus implies that more funding for new parking spaces will eventually be directed toward that area. The implica­ tion for the east campus employee is that his/her fee will be less, but only slightly less.

You will also notice from Figure 1 that there are two A zones, four B zones, four C zones, etc. Numbers will be used in conjunction with the letters to further narrow the parking areas available with C4 a given parking permit. This allows greater control over the allocations for each zone.

The permit system would work like this. An A1 permit could be used in any B zone, but could not be used in another A zone. Likewise, a Cl permit could be used in any D orE zone, but could not be used in another C zone. Nor could a C permit move up into an A orB zone. In other words. you could move to any lower level zone. but not to any zones of an equal or higher level.

At this point it is necessary to digress a bit. No doubt you are asking yourself whether or not this places a B or C permit holder D at a disadvantage by allowing other permit holders to "consume" one of their spaces. The answer to this is that the sale of permits to each zone will be tightly monitored and managed so that this kind of thing happens only rarely. The problem stems from the fact that. Parking Services doesn't have absolute control over those who might park in a given zone, either legally or illegally. For example, there may be a high number of violators in Zone B 1 on a given day. Although a citation can be issued, the cars cannot Proposed Parking Zones be removed. Assume this displaces three Zone B 1 permit holders. If the three permit holders were not allowed to park in the nearest Figure #1 C zone, they would have no other alternative but to park in a peripheral zone a considerable distance away, even though there are spaces available in Zone C. Of course, this sounds like an acceptable altemative ... unless you happen to be one of those B permit holders.

This leads to another question. Why not let Ai' permit holders park in A2 zones and vice-versa, or let B 1 permit holders park in B2 or B3 zones, etc.? In fact, why not combine A 1 and A2 into, Parking Fees as Percentage simply, Zone A, and combine B1, B2, and B3 into Zone B, etc., eliminating the sub-zones altogether? On the surface, it appears · of Faculty Salaries that this approach might work well. And it does indeed, on campuses that have relatively flat terrain. But look again at 0.40% ·------, Figure I.

PARKING FEE COMPARISONS

Increasing parking fees has always been a sensitive issue at WSU. Two groups of people will read this proposal; those who have only a self-interest in the result, and those sho are involved in the planning process. It is even difficult for the latter group to detach their personal interest from an issue that may eventually cost them, such as parking fees. However, as partipants in the review process you are essentially planners. And as a planner, you need information that will allow you to be as objective as possible.

The fee comparisons in this section will provide you with a broad, historical 72 74 75 76 77 79 81 82 83 85 86 87 86 89 perspective of how WSU's parking fees measure up against (1) the rate of inflation, Year (2) faculty and staff salaries, (3) other WSU fees, and (4) other institutions and agencies.

The information in this section will also demonstrate that: • Parking fees have not kept pace with inflation, and are actually decreasing in Graph 2 terms of real dollars.

• The contribution in parking fees as a percentage of salaries has decreased Parking Fees vs. Salaries steadily since the early 1970's. The next set of graphs demonstrate that over the years faculty and staff have generally paid less for parking as a percentage of their salaries.

Because of the diverse range of staff salaries, three positions were selected for this comparison; Secretary II, Associate Architect, and Maintenance Me· chanic. Structure fees were not included in this graph because most classified staff mem­ bers do not park in the parking structures. Similar to Graph #2 you can see that the staff contribution as a percentage of their salaries has decreased since 1974. A comparison using structure fees would show the same results.

Keeping the freshmen "in line" seemed to be a time-consuming activity of the sophomore class in WSU's early years. The posters explaining the rules for freshmen are among the items which will make up the Centennial kickoff exhibit featuring artifacts and photographs from the university's earliest years through WWII at Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections, Holland Library, March 28-May 12.

Diane Marsh, left, Becky Priebe and Joye Dillman, right, are members of the committee who planned the Centennial Quilt Block competition. A quilt will be constructed from the winning entries to be displayed at various Centennial and alumni gatherings throughout the state. The trio urge members of the university community to enter a quilt block. Competition entry forms have specifications about the quilt block and are available at the Alumni Center, 335-3514. Other planning committee members are Pat Mensinger, chair, and Sally Koppel.

Gibson, Stanford, Calif., stayed in Pullman and worked during the 1934, 1935, 1936 and 1937 Christmas holidays in the "Beef Bam," as it was called. "My duties were quite simple," says Gibson. "I shoveled you know what left by the cattle and carted it away. My Beta Theta Pi fraternity brothers and other classmates were not surprised I'd be doing such a thing. They knew I was from a farm in Eldorado, Texas, and, because of the distance and cost, could not go home at Christmas time. I stayed at the Beta house by myself.

The independence derived from having a car available is valuable. On the other hand, in a small community where many people work similar schedules, and live within very close proximity to each other, the potential for car­ pooling is great.

In summary, parking permit fees should reflect the actual cost of providing an acceptable level of service and facilities, and should also reflect a representative dollar value for the benefits received. Annual Permit Fees (Proposed) . This has not been accomplished in recent years.
