By Denise Bruinton When you think of a commuter student, you normally think of students that have a bit more freedom than those that stay on the yard. From having relief from strict housing regulations to being bored in the dorms, you would never think of them as the ones having the bad end of the deal. Limited parking spaces have been a campus problem for over four years on the campus of Fayetteville State University. According to a recent sample of commuter students, more than 20 commuters have already received parking tickets this semester. Not only®|anfair parking tickets penalize commuters, but also a hidden penal^Js that they are being cl^pd out of their education. “Since there are not enough parking spaces, you have to drive around for about 10 minutes before you find a space. Even then. “If everyone would park in their designated space, there wouldn H be any problems. ” Capt. Steven Godette the space is usually a long way from your building,” says Elizabeth Bloodwin, a commuter student. “You have to walk a long way to your class and that makes us miss out on some of the lecture.” Another problem commuters are faced with is discrimination. Not the normal types dealing with gender and race, but financial discrimination. “I don’t feel that the current parking status for commuters is fair,” says Nicole Freeman, a commuter from Raleigh. “Why should commuters have to pay the same price for a permit as an on- campus student? Commuters don’t even utilize all of the parking ‘features’ as on-campus students,” she says. Campus parking officials say there are two alternatives to be considered in the future concerning FSU’s parking situation. The options include using a parking deck and establishing gated lots for all entrances, says Captain Steven Godette of the FSU Police Department. “If everyone would park in their designated space, there wouldn’t be any problems,” he says. “However, nobody wants to walk. Everybody wants to park close to the buildings. Sometime they even park in the handicapped spaces. Yes, it’s more convenient to park close, but, even if you have to park far from your building, you should always be considerate j^thers.” “I think thaWljU needs to provide more parking for commuters and make sure that commuter|^it resident studen^^are parking in commuter lots,” says Bloodwin. Freeman agrees, “FSU needs more student parking and less ‘designated’ parking areas.” p University of St. Thomas ;chool of Law ACADEMIC RIGOR: Enjoy a rich curriculum integrating law, ethics and faith.
