Parking 20 Parking facilities inadequate? Congestion in traffic and parking have led to new proposals which hopefully will benefit campus parkers. Adding to the usual parking facility problems was a discrepancy in faculty and staff members vehicle registration, poor condition of some of the lots, and inadequate parking areas near Statesmen Towers. Investigating the problem was the Student Government Association. The main problem stemmed from incon- veniently located parking places near campus buildings. All students who own, possess, operate or have the use of a motor vehi- cle on any property owned, leased or used by Indiana State University, in- cluding the streets adjacent thereto, must have the vehicle registered with ISU and properly display a current Parking in front of BurfordlErickson halls sometimes leaves little space for large cars. No parking, Authorized Personnel Only. The owner should have listened! - File Photo by B.

Cost to register is $5 and failure to park in designated areas results in a ticket. Ticket costs start at $1 but the SGA com- mittee proposed a raise to $5. Also pro- posed would be a color differentiating code which would indicate which lot to park in. To insure proposals of future is- suance of one registeration per car per person, Student Government Associa- tion suggested raising registration from $5 to $10. This would be used for im- provements of existing and future park- ing lots. More than three hundred new spaces were added to the campus this year for students. As each year progresses there is a continuing evaluation and of park- ing facilities. Even though spaces and location may be inadequate, steps are being taken to improve parking availability and convenience. - Story by Sheila Hoffman

22 Taking a bite out of studying E6 Each student at Indiana State University has a way to comfortably study, either for an exam or just for the sake of getting excess homework out of the way. To many students, though not to the majority, the library is not the only place to read. A proportion out of this set of students believed that their houseslapartments were even more convenient to stay and study. For exam- ple, a senior student in the field of Television Broadcasting from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago pointed out that he has never been to the library to study. He added that I am studying my books conveniently for hours and with full concentration in my apartment. A Business Education major student, who is a sophomore from Paris, Illinois, spends 25 to 30 hours a week studying Randy Jensen, Terre Haute freshman, uses his study time to relax-on the quad. Obviously this student spends more time sleep- ing than studying; even with the library atmosphere. and she normally studies in the library. She explained that she finds it difficult to study in her room because of the noises all over the dorm. While study- ing in the library, her normal problem is that sometimes she becomes bored, especially after reading for two hours. This student added that there were few occasions when she had to study all night to prepare for an exam the following morning and she managed to get a 8+ in the exam. Her GPA is 3.30 as of fall '82. A number of others interviewed ex- plained that they do read anywhere even with the campus noise. All they need is the determination and concen- tration; they do not have a specific place of studying as long as they can have a table to place their books. Sometimes the best place to study is on the floor of the library. - Photos by Pam Rogers
