Getting There here there ' s a heel, there ' s a ay For the more than 34,000 students and over 12,000 faculty and staff mem- bers at UA, at least one thing has to take place before class and work begin: getting there. The methods vary from walking, to taking a bus, but all must arrive on campus somehow. For students on or around campus, bicy- cling, riding a moped and walking are the modes of arriving. Although there is no charge for a motorcycle or moped permit, it is a university requirement to reg- ister one. Registration of bicycles is voluntary, but is recommended for the protection of your proper- ty. There is no fee for the one year permit. For students, faculty and staff who choose to live farther from campus, cars and buses are the main ways to get to UA. U-locks are a good choice for bike protection, whether at home or, like this student, on the campus. All cars must have a permit. The prices range from $40 to $250, depending on the lot ' s location. Permit spaces are enforced M-F, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. There is also a carpool matching service, which is run by the Parking and Transpor- tation Department. There is no charge to apply for this service and you do not have to own a car. Applicants are matched with oth- ers who live within one square mile of their residence. This ser- vice helps save gas, lower the de- mand for parking spaces and re- duce wear on vehicles. Sun Tran bus passes are also available at a discount rate to fac- ulty, staff and students who are enrolled with at least seven units. The passes can be purchased for the semester or the academic year at the ASUA Bookstore, the Student Union Hiking Center or the Parking and Transportation office. The extra minutes of studying or relaxing en route, are an added bonus. Whether living on campus or off, getting there is a fact of life and where there ' s a wheel, there ' s a way. Teresa A.

' !! Ltf reen UA ' s Student Playground It ' s UA ' s place to relax, catch some rays, scope out the opposite sex and gossip with your friends. Locat- ed in the center of campus, the grass covered Mall is a social place at all hours of the day. The area attracts students who want to play volleyball, football or frisbee, or who just want to relax between classes. The Mall is also the location for many events, including RHA and SUAB ' s annual Beach Party, Greek Week, Dorm Daze and Homecom- ing activities. The Mall is our place to hang out; it ' s UA ' s student playground. Teresa A. Tokar Relaxing by the Old Main fountain, Michael Rigmey, ju- nior, bags some rays and even studies a bit. The grass provides a comfortable seat for a student to take a break on. A creative way to cool off in Arizona is to play catch with water balloons at the annual Beach Party. The Mall provides all students with their own play- ground. MALL 21
