A game ot musical wheels The parking problem at West is going from bad to worse, declared Mr. Scott Caulpetzer, who, along with Mr. Tom Ertel and Mr. Tom Sears, is assigned to moni- tor the parking lot every day. Before construction began on the new addition to the Industrial Arts wing, the parking lot offered about 440 parking spaces to students who drive to school. Even then, the lot filled early, and student autos were lined up on most of the streets near West. But this past winter, ground was broken at the eastern end of the lot and the number of spaces was reduced to about 380. More students were forced to drive around in circles for a longer time and finally park even farther away from the building. In an effort to help with the parking situation, the administration requested that students ride the buses whenever possible rather than drive to school. But for many students that is a difficult task. Laura Fischlein commented, I have things to do before and after school which I couldn't do if I rode the bus. Maureen Graham drives rather than walks be- cause there aren't any sidewalks where I live and if I didn't drive, l'd have to walk in the mud. The fact that parking places have been lost is unchangeable. The obvious conse- quence is that not as many students can park in the lot. There is really no way to solve the shortage: students just have to find some mode of transportation other than their own four wheels. As in a game of musical chairs, some students have been left standing when the music stopped, and they just have to find an- other place to sit. 18 Parking Problem n Thanx 1 1719. ' ?Q W.-, ,, NL M .
