Crov ded lots, parking tickets and getting tov ed made a nightnnare out of Going Parking The term going parking usually brings to mind that special place in high school that you went at the end of a date. But at Hood, the term going parking took a new meaning. Parking became a serious problem with the construction on campus. Parking behind Coblentz was cut down due to all the construction trucks and equipment. Parking on Ever- green Street was limited due to the construction of the Joseph A. Pastore Facility Center by the physical plant The lane in front of Meyran Hall was blocked off this year, stopping students from using it as a loading zone. Security officers enforced proper parking by handing out 8P tickets for parking in handi- capped spots, fire lanes, and on Hood property without a park- ing sticker. Security also began towing cars that were improp- erly parked. Senior Alex Ide and sophomores Kelly Martin and Amy Froelich had their cars towed — costing them $40 each. I realize that 1 was parked illegally, and I under- stand why they towed me, but it really annoys me that they haven ' t towed anyone else after they towed me for parking in the same spot, said Alex Ide. Many students felt that the school should provide more parking spots to accomodate all those with cars. There, are three handicapped parking spaces by the outdoor pool that are not being used when the pool is closed, said Sopho- more Sara Olson. Due to the lack of spaces, many students were resigned to parking on Magnolia Avenue, at the hos- pital, and on the dead end behind the gym. Neighbors to Hood became annoyed when students parked in front of their houses. One resident on Evergreen Street came out and yelled at me for parking near her driveway. I was in a hurry to get to class and didn ' t realize I was too near her driveway, said Senior Amy Wokasien. Going parking became an experience at Hood — an ex- perience of luck in finding a parking place. — Ami) Wokasien. SIGN OF THE TIMES. No parking CROWDED CONDITIONS.
