Students Search for A Space By Marcy Buckner Residents circle the campus searching for a place to park. Although Vice-President, Charlie Lance, has not heard any complaints to date concerning {laridng, he said he "can see a poblem." There are no facilities available at M- AC to tear down and replace with {talking space. And Lance reminds students that, although far- theraway, Anderson Auditoium is alwaysavail- able. As of this year, the administration no longer restricts parking anywhere excqtt areas reserved for faculty/staff, handic^^ted areas, etc. Lance hqtes that M-AC will never have to ccmsider telling anyone that they cannot have a car. Yet it is a "difficult balance to meet needs and be fair with as few restrictions as {Xtssible. Montreat Presbyterian Church and the college together are trying to re-do the {tarking area behind Gaither. Lance has also requested that the no-paiking zone in fiont of Belk be converted into non-restricted, marked {rarking sjraces. Hehasreceivednoresponseat this time. Another aspect of the fiarking dilemma called into question is the cost of parking stick ers, whicharecurrently$30. This{xiysin{)artfcK' the significant amount of money ^pent for auto {X'otection. The fees do not cover the total cost Total income goes into the cost of running the school. Ifparkingfeesare cut or eliminated, the amount of money lost must be obtained from some other means. "A lot of changes have taken place because we have questioned, "Why does this exist?" Some things have fallen by the way- side because there was no good answer," Lance commented. He suggests that the parking situation is an op{X)rtunity for stu dents to dialogue with SGA so irritations can be eliminated. host a reunion ccmcert in Gaither ch^l that evening at 7:30f)m.
