I’agc 4 riie News Argiis Opinion Tuesday, November 16, 2010 ww.tlienewsargus-coni JORDAN HOWSE Editor In Chief THE MAY I SEE IT Ticket or tow? Who knows In light of The News Argus online breaking news story, I have to address the parking issue on campus. The issue is that so many students don't have decals. It is not that difficult to get a decal. I have been here since 2006, and there has been a vast improvement in park ing on campus. Winston-Salem State students and faculty should be glad that we don't have to pay what N.C. A&T and N.C. Central pay for decals. A&T students have to pay $227 for the fall semester and $150 for the spring semester. Faculty pays $248 for the fall. NCCU students pay $300 for a decal for the academic year. The problem is we don't know the rules and regulations. Let's play a game. Fact or Myth: Students and professors can park anywhere on campus after 5 p.m. Myth. Students and professors can park anywhere except reserved, resident and handicap areas on campus after 5 p.m. if they have a registered vehicle with a parking decal. Fact or Myth: Tickets don't have to be paid right away, as long as they are paid before graduation. Myth. If you have more than three tickets on your record, your car can be booted or towed. You have 10 days to pay cita tions. After that, they are delinquent. Fact or Myth: The vehicle must have a ticket before getting towed. Fact. The ticket is considered the warning and a vehicle will be towed if there is already a ticket on the vehicle. Fact or Myth: Fines can only be paid in the Public Safety building on campus. Myth. Fines can be paid in the Public Safety building but also by mail and online. Fact or Myth: A visitor can park in metered spaces. Fact. Visitors have options. They can park in metered spaces if they know how long they will be here. Parking area Lot CC is designated for visitors of resident students without a parking permit or pass from 5 p.m.- 2 a.m. Temporary permits are $5 per day and visitors must park in the shuttle lots, FF and FH. Fact or Myth: Evening/Weekend students and professors can park anywhere on campus without a decal because classes are after 5 p.m. Myth. Evening/Weekend students and professors must have an Evening/Weekend parking decal to park anywhere after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. The issue students should have is why there is no time lapse between being ticketed and being towed. A student should be alerted that they receives the ticket as a warning before being towed. All parking information is available in the Public Safety Office. 50, UMWM... HOW'S THAT Pit? © matmm WF'ff HOW DID ME HISS THAT? As a matter of policy.

But statistics show that, due to a more diverse nation, interracial Photos by Jarrett Dawkins; Interviews by Jamie Hunter couples are on the rise. Because WSSU, a historically black university, has also become more diverse. This issue's Campus Crew asks... What do you think about interracial dating? CHRISTIAN JOHNSON SENIOR, ECON. QUEENS, N.Y. You're starting to see it more than in previous years but people still hesitate because they don't want to be judged. TAYLOR TROCHE FRESHMAN, BUS. ADMIN. CHARLOTTE I'm a product of interracial dating so I think it's fine. Love doesn't have a race or gender. THOMAS PAGE REHAB STUDIES WINSTON-SALEM I’m all for it. People are peo ple.
