Pastures and Pits Need to be Turned Into Pavement
by Beth Blankenship
Co-editor
\ krtow you must have discussed the
packing situation with your n>ommates
one hundred times, but they are power
less to do anything about tlw problem. I
too am fed up with this situation. Ivlere-
dith, wf>ere is your common sense?
Certainly not in tf>e parking area.
If there is one thing I know, it's that
Meredith cannot use the open land sur
rounding the physical buildings and
areas such as ttie lake. Furtf>ermore, I
agree that having cars along the en
trance does take away fn^m the beauty
of the front drive and the surrounding
area. However, I see nothir>g wrong
with putting parking areas behind
Meredith where it is virtually non-
visible to visitors. I say this vnth a sel
fish thought in mind. I'm sick and tired
of having to park in not the first bottom
PIT parking lot but the one behirxl that.
Seniors, help me out on this argu
ment. Don't you think we've eamed the
right to park as dose to our donns as
possible? I say Meredith shoukJ pave
the PITforsophomores and freshmen. I
would even be willing to pay a little ex
tra next year for parking stickers to help
finarKe some of tlie paving.
Of course additional parking space
would leave little temptation for stu
dents to park in restricted areas. And
wf^t would Security do tfien? Well,
this coukl save on gasoline for the cars
which make “umpteen” rounds seeking
out illegally parked cars. An additional
expense of parking ttekets would also
be eliminated. The cost of paper does
go up every year, you know.
I think having a car on campus
should t>e a right, rx>t a privilege. And
as such, adequate facilities should be
provided. You as students can get
these facilities if you'd only voice your
opinion. Draw up a technical report
with diagrams and solutions. Thir>k of
ways to raise funds for the paving cost.

A Halloween Tale
of Haunted Halls
Some people believe in ghosts. Even
some who attend college believe. Stu
dents at two Michigan State U. resi
dence halls believe in them because
they live with them.
MSU's Holmes Hall is said to be
haunted by two specters. A number of
sixth-floor residents at Holmes claim to
have seen the ghost of a student who
had lived on the sixth floor and com
mitted suicide in 1980.
.solutkms. Use your common eense if
Meredith won’t. Get adequate parking
facilities other than pastures and pits.

receive."
I an asking that each ef you take
some of your wealth and turn it over so
we can give it to people. People who are
hungry. People who are cold. People

them do unto us.”
