Parking Crisis ?
By: Susan Long
Staff Writer
If you are not a
driver of this
college's streets, then
you have not noticed
but many students
have—parking is a
problem! In years
past, parking has also
been a issue, but this
year's beginning
brought more than
the usual dose of
trouble. With a three
to one male/female
ratio, and over 70 day
students, available
parking spaces have
become limited.
Montreat-Ander
son Hall is possibly
where the major cri
sis lies. There are
more than 67 girls
registered to park
with this dorm and
only one gravel park
ing lot along side of a
few individual park
ing spaces to accom
modate the number.
Many freshmen were
instructed to park in
the lower half of the
Belk Campus Center
parking lot. This
however, cuts faculty
and day student
parking down. To
solve this problem,
the college is allow
ing some faculty park
on the curb of the

stration is also mov
ing more of the
Montreat-Anderson
dorm drivers to the
gravel lot.
Are you like the
others around cam
pus? Wondering if
future freshmen will
be allowed to drive
to school after this
year's "overload?"
According to Sam
Wheeler, Student
Government Presi
dent, this is not a con
sideration at all and
'91-'92 freshmen
need not be con
cerned. Many state-
supported schools
such as North Caro
lina State University,
as well as many other
private colleges do
not have the fresh
man driving privi
lege. It is a character
istic that makes
Montreat imique.
Freshmen Shelly
Morris agrees, "I ap
preciate the Montreat
privilege of freshman
driving. On other
campuses, freshmen
pay a very high price
to store their cars and
can drive only on
weekends."
So students, calm
your anxieties; the
parking problem will
hopefully clear itself
up. Until then, be
patient and consid
erate with your park
ing.
