34The Tar Heel Thursday, July 16, 1987 - ("- ,.(, . . ... . , 1" . - V i The good .audi Ibadl abouuli: paFkiimg at UNC Freshmen still can not and the future does not By RON CRAWFORD University Editor Chapel Hill's parking problem is not likely to go away soon, campus officials say, and the big losers again this year are the freshmen. "Freshmen have been prohi bited from parking for at least six years." said Mary Clayton, UNC's director of transportation. And, because of limited parking space, there's no end to the ban in sight. "There's certainly no immediate relief in the sense that we're not building more parking except in the fringe lots," Clayton said. "There's only so much space. There's a fixed limit. When land's at a premium, buildings are going to get priority over parking." SPECIALS UNC FACULTYSTUDENTS Spacious, 1 -Bedroom Apartments 1 Vi Miles From Campus PoolAll Amenities On Bus Line 6-, 9-, & 12 month leases available Apartments 404 Jones Ferry Rd. Carrboro 929-3821 The campus will lose 350 park ing spaces to construction this year, she said. Clayton said the Traffic and Parking Office handles about 15,000 requests for parking space a year. But the campus only has about 11,000 parking spaces. Because of the great demand, parking on campus is regulated by a permit system. Each lot requires a specific permit that must be purchased at the Traffic and Parking Office and displayed at all times. Most freshmen who are caught parking on campus are fined $10 for parking without a permit, said Mary Fox, UNC's parking control coordinator. Student parkers discovered to be freshmen are have cars, look bright fined an additional $25. Anyone who receives three or more violations is considered a repeat violator, said Fox. After the third violation, the violator's car will be towed. Students who wish to purchase permits should register during the preceding spring semester, said Clayton, but even then, they are not assured of getting a permit. Graduate students get first priority for permits, followed by seniors, juniors and sophomores. Because of this hierarchy, which is set by the student government, many sophomores don't get permits, said Clayton. The University does make exceptions in certain cases, how ever. If a freshman feels he has a compelling reason to have a car on campus, he can apply for a waiver at the traffic office. - Acceptable reasons for granting students waivers include employ ment at home, which must be verified by an employer; military obligations, such as Army reserves; and medical reasons. Applications for waivers on the basis of medical reasons must include a letter from a physician. Wild Summer Frogstrangler!

All available permits will be for sale at registration in Fetzer Gym in August, according to Mary Clayton, director of transporta tion with University Police. "Access permit distribution used to be held separately from registration, but this year the two will be done together," Clayton said. "We don't know the exact number of permits that we will have for sale at that time, but we usually have about 300 available." There are approximately 1 1,000 parking spaces on the UNC cam pus and about one-third of those go to students. The other portion is for faculty, staff and visitors. Prices range for these spaces from $10 to $114.75 for an aca demic year. The least expensive is P Lot, which is located down Airport Rd. at the Horace Williams Airport. Students who buy this permit for $10 also receive a free bus pass to get them to campus. For a spot around the residence halls, students can expect to pay around $80. Law students or medical students who may park in employee zones must pay a little over $100 for their spaces. The number of spaces allotted for the 1987-88 year is about 350 Lj y wy qpiiqpy V W PLANNED PARENTHOOD Kroger Plaza Special Rates for Students ft rail fhr an 942-7762 TRAILWAYS 311 W.

Visa, Mastercard & Choice accepted for over $10. less than the previous year, Clay ton said. This number is a per manent loss due to construction advancements. "The University has grown greatly and land is a premium for growth," Clayton said. "Parking lots are flat and cemented and great for building. Parking decks are expensive, but they are per manent and an important alternative." But until such advancements are made in parking, students must continue to struggle for a spot. Clayton encourgages students who fail to get a permit ,at reg istration to check with the parking office in the basement of the Campus Y building for permits that have been turned back in. "Permits are turned in that go unused," Clayton said. "During the first week after Labor Day we have permits returned and other students who want them have already given up. "We encourage people to check back because there are changes throughout the semester. We post a list of available spaces by 4 p.m. each Monday. Those spaces will be distributed the following morn ing beginning at 7:30 a.m." If a student's need for a parking permit meets the hardship qual ifications established by Student Government, then a student may receive a permit through that See PARKING page 42 IF V V fi f y y y y f TV Chapel Hill J Birth Control Information & supplies at reduced cost V.D. & Pregnancy Testing AH information confidential annninmpnt 732-61611
