NO PARKING Students continue to ask why UT allows more cars to have parking stickers than there are parking spaces. The most com- mon answer given by officials is that at any given time in the day there is an empty parking space. This may be true if some- one desires to park in one of the lots locat- ed near Maryville. However, for those students who wish to park near their classes or dorms, the situa- tion is critical.

Each level will be equipped with high intensity safety lights to provide better security. Student reaction to the new parking ga- rage was mixed.

More important is the atmosphere between resi- dents when they are not on display in their respective lobbies. The one-to-one rela- tionships between students on each floor determines the quality of life in that dorm. The cast area halls emphasize one-to- one relationships.
