GALLERY VIEWPOINT Surviving a parking ticket

OK. Imagine yourself as a gazelle in a herd of gazelles, and imagine that you and these gazelles are part of the grand herd of UT faculty, staff and students that park on campus. It’s grazing time, and you need to find a place to graze, but there are only certain patches you are allowed to graze on. And because you were too cheap to buy a grazing pass, there aren’t many grazing patches you can use. So, what do you do now? You frolic. You frolic around like the gay little gazelle you are to your favorite grazing patch. Oh, but what’s this. Your favorite grazing patch is full of fat, lazy — not to mention cheap — little student gazelles that are going to some lame movie at the Union. “Crabapples,” you say to yourself, all- too-conscious of that big assignment you have due tomorrow. And so you frolic, a little less gaily this time, but you frolic nonetheless, searching for other free-grazing patches available to you. You pass one that looks promising, but it’s only available to archi- tecture students, another requires a D pass, the next has a meter, but, finally, you find a nice spot on San Jacinto Boulevard. You’re suspicious at first because you remembered something about a change in grazing regulations from some administrative e-mail you haphazardly skimmed about a month ago, so you read the sign very carefully. “A, B and D passes required, Monday-Friday,” it says, and aha! There it is: 7:15 a.m. - 5:45 p.m. Victorious, you prance your proud little self right on over to that grazing patch, bow your head down and take a nice nibble of that It’s time to rethink our rights fresh green grass.
