Parking Lots Are Overflowing
Because of construc
tion on campus, students
failure to cooperate and
lack of room for expan
sion of facilities, Elon
College has a definite and
serious parking problem.
There is the problem of
students failing to park in
legal zones and also of
lack of space while the
new gymnasium and
classrooms are belntr
built.
According to Dean Jen
nings Berry, there are
adequate parking spaces
for each car on campus
If students would co
operate. For Instance,
according to Dean Berry,
many commuters do not
use the gym parking lot
because of the distance
irom classes or because
of lack of time to search
for a legal space, Com-
niuters are supposed to
park in the gym parking
jot and against the wall
in the lot beside the Stu
dent Center.
Dean Berry stated that
because of the construc
tion on campus, many
®P^^es are unusable but
aaded that upon comple
tion there would be re
assignment of the park-
jng areas. Commuters
will have a much larger
parking facility at the
ytn and will be expect
ed to use this.
Concerning the pro
blem of “blind” entranc
es into the street from the
parking lots. Dean Berry
stated that the town of
Elon College had been
asked to paint no park
ing zones near the en
trances to eliminate some
of the danger.
Dean Berry stated that
after the college has re
assigned parking lots and
reopened those closed or
hampered by construc
tion, the problem will be
looked into more close
ly, Restrictions on stu
dents are being studied
now including forblding
freshmen from having
cars and requiring a cer
tain grade point average
for other students before
they may keep a car. The
college will resort to
these moves, however,
only If students contin
ue to park Illegally.

Elon College President
J. Earl Danleley, In an
interview April 20, re
leased the Board of Trus
tee’s decisions concern
ing these proposals made
by SGA President Lee
Loy to the board.
In reply to the Senate
proposal that two stu

that since the Board was
