After the first few weeks of attending classes at Johnson County Community College, students begin yearning for one of the coveted bumper stickers which permits them to park somewhere other than on the "south forty." If the walk from the student parking areas seems long now, just wait until the mercury drops to the bottom of the thermometer! Students are told that the purpose of this college is to serve their needs, yet, as the paying customers, students are discriminated against in the area of parking regulations. All lots that are close to the buildings are restricted for staff. Other lots restrict the closest spaces for visitors. The spaces restricted for handicap parking are necessary both by law and consideration and these are not the restricted areas which are being referred to. If all restrictions were lifted on parking regulations except in areas designated for handicap parking, the college could save a considerable amount of time and salary in the department of security. Parking should be on a first come, first serve basis.

To many, Fantasia was the ultimate in admitted that it is disarmingly delightful and almost impossible to hate. animated films. To others it was a noble, but disasterous failure.
