Sometimes getting to school is a bigger problem than school itself. By 8 a.m. the streets and parking lots around the school create havoc for the students and parents. Cars, bicycle riders and walkers congest the roads and become a haven for Officer Daniels of the Richarson Police. I think Officer Daniels lives for busting kids, stated junior Mike Burnett. For many students, flashing red lights in the rearview mirror is a common scene. For others, the problem is more the price of parking stickers or the limited number of parking spaces. I didnlt buy a sticker so sometimes I have to park on the street and then walk a mile just to get to the school, stated Newberry. It's first come first serve. If you happen to be late, you end up parking far away from school, if you get a parking space at all, remarked junior Sareta Anselmi. The S15 parking sticker has brought about several complaints, but senior Steve Price feels the sticker is a bargain. The sticker price really isnlt too bad, said Price. t'No one should complain. I know of some people at other schools who have to pay as much as S40 for one. For those who don't have to bother with parking spaces, sticker prices, and the dreaded Officer Daniels, the problems aren't over. Many students, especially sophomores, have to depend on a brother or sister, a friend, and even good ol' mom and dad as their means of transporation. lt's a pain not being able to drive yourself to school,', remarked sophomore Lance Hart- sell. I have to rely on other people and a lot of times it causes problemsf' On the other hand, junior Kim Killeen stated, I really don't mind riding with my brother, but itls a hassle when we have to go at different times. Killeen admits that many times it means getting a ride with one of her brother's friends and it's not unusual for them to forget. No matter what the problem is in getting to school, everyone faces the same situation, and in the end it's all worth it, isn't it? - Karin Evans I eil 339 KM. ' 1, 3 K ' K ..
