The parking problem at Elon is
escalating and students are
becoming frustrated and angry
because of it. Many students feel
this issue is either not being taken
seriously enough or is being ig
nored altogether.
“There definitely needs to be
more parking space at Elon.” says
Kendal Thompson, a student liv
ing at Jordan Center. “If 1 come
home to the Oaks anytime after
I0;00 p.m. ,1 know I’ll be forced
to park out on the street."
Commuter students complain
of having to leave home 10 or 15
minutes earlier than they usual so
that they can drive around school
and kxik for a .safe spot to park.
They are also concerned about be
ing late for their classes becau.se
of the problem.
Julie Riddle, a commuter stu
dent, says, “More parking is
needed for commuter. If you park
on N. Williamson Avenue there is
one or two hour parking. If you
have classes all day, you have to
move your car in the 10 minutes
allotted for class change, and then
move it where?”
Students feel they are not
receiving any feedback about
whats being done about the
situation.
When asked about the problem,
Terry Creech, Director of Safety
and Security, had no comment at
this time.
