Parking problems perplex pupils Drive to school, but walk a mile! This problem faced many Broad Ripple students. By definition, parking means leaving your car in a place for a given amount of time. One fault lies in this definition; finding a place for Broad Ripple students to park. Early last spring, the Department of Transportation posted No Parking signs on Haverford.
