Parking problems? Who's got PARKING PROBLEMS? HE EVENING classes are dismissed and the usually snarled parking lots are asleep in a cold, quiet hush. The day's activities have ended — or have they? Suddenly headlights cut through the dark entrance. A vehicle approaches the west parking concourse. With the land all to himself, the driver picks up speed as he cruises through the lot in search of a 8 x 15-foot parking space. Not letting his 1 2-dollar hunting fee go to Vk'aste, he remembers the old adages first come, first park and the early student catches the parking space. The night hunter has his choice of about 1,800 stalls. Other factors, ho N- ever, must be taken into consideration. Parking under one of the overhead lights is conducive to reading or studying should he choose to do so, but lights also have a drawback (especially if he's lucky enough to obtain a female co-camper. Once in his chosen spot, passing the late night, early morning hours is a prob- lem. Roughing it means no Channel 6 news or Lee Terry editorial, no rasslin' matches or Dick Cavett monologue. But he can be consoled by Gary Kerr and the 10 o'clock WOW radio news, or if he really has a bad case of insomnia, he might spend the night with KOIL's Jay Sullivan. Refreshments for the loner are another problem. It is recommended that he bring his own six-pack and smokes since vend- ing machines are nowhere to be found. Of course, female companionship might help ease the night's discomfort without the aid of such expensive vices. Several hours and many nightmares later, the hush of night is broken by the sounds of traffic on Dodge Street. The premature parker rises and counts his few blessings. A stiff neck and sore body are heaven compared to the hell his fellow classmates are about to undergo. With the sun rising in the east and the light of dawn replacing the light of electricity, he makes his way to the coffee room. He samples the first of the morning's brew. In the vacated coffee room he thinks about the barrage of cars now heading toward the campus. As he walks to his 7:30 class he hears the honking of horns in the parking lots, the slamming of car doors, the sirens passing on Dodge and other noises of general confusion. Entering the classroom, he hears people cursing the parking problem. With the clamor from the lots outside accost- ing his ears, he only shakes his head and mumbles, What's that about a parking problem? There's no parking problem at UNO. B 2

PMKING PEMIT DOES NQf From the first day of registration, students prepare to meet a variety of obstacles. A 12-dollar permit (above, left) is only a hunting license. Perpendicular parking (above) is open only to smaller cars, while some fearless parkers brave ominous signs (below) hoping they won't be towed away.
