2-Op/Ed The Daily Collegian October 0,1992 Inside The Daiiy Cque «an You snooze, you and oil students, faculty lose By Aimee L. Fisher Editor in Chief Although The Daily Colle¬ gian does not receive state funds, it seems we have also been affected* by the budget cuts—indirectly anyway. One ofohe major ways we have been affected is that many i students are seeking off-cam¬ pus jobs to make up for in¬ creased tuition and fees. There¬ fore, fewer students are seek¬ ing jobs at The Daily Colle¬ gian, which makes gathering and publishing the news in¬ creasingly difficult. While The Daily Collegian is still keeping students and faculty informed about major news such as repercussions of the budget cuts and student gov¬ ernment, it has become much harder for us to cover all the' bases with only eight part-time staff writers. It would be nice if our writ¬ ers and editors could call every department on a weekly basis to find out what's going on around campus. But, all of us also attend classes and many work off-campus as well to make ends meet. Basically, we're relying on what we getinthemail or what we happen to see on a bulletin board or hear around campus. That's why id like to ask the campus community to help us out. I'm not saying I want stu¬ dents and faculty todo our work for us. Vm just saying that if about major events on campus. If you know there's going to be a speaker, say, in the Peters Business Building, let us know well in advance. Since we have a limited staff, we need time to , find someone who doesn' t have class or work at the time of the lecture or event And if you know of aprofes- sor or student who has or is going to do something interest¬ ing or outstanding, let us know. I'm sure other students would find it interesting as well. Off- campus events that are rele¬ vant to students or faculty also make good reading. This does jiot guarantee that all story ideas presented to us will run in the paper. We,don't run publicity stories on demand. We do want to know so that we can decide whether it pertains topur read¬ ership and if it will affect a sig¬ nificant portion of that reader¬ ship.

Most of us do it every day. We sit back in the driver's seat hoping, praying, and pleading with some invisible park¬ ing lot super-power to please bless us this day with a parking space located at a reasonable distance from our classes. This is enough to get an inquisitive mind wondering about how many other drivers might be looking for that parking space or how many parking spaces are available to those drivers. I decided to investigate. I started by letting my fingers do the walking but soon found that it was hard to find someone will¬ ing to do the talking. Then some¬ one directed me to Rick Finden at the Campus Police. Department who is in charge of Parking and Transportation. He was very knowledgeable and kind, and provided me with some Interest¬ ing information. On our campus there are 7,027 parking stalls. Of those parking stalls, 4,760 are general stalls or student parking. The majority of those are located on the southeast part of campus. According to the campus cashiers, there were 7,315 general parking stickers sold to students-in the Spring semester of 1992. When I commented that now I understand why there is such a parking prob¬ lem, Rick explained that he did an on-site check the previous day and there were plenty of parking stalls left in Lot V (southeast corner of campus) and it's only a 7/12 min¬ ute walk from there toclasses clear across campus. I explained that I am a re-en try student and that the same walk took me 25 minutes one day. If you noticed all of the new buildings going up on campus, perhaps you are holding on to the hope that new parking lots wilfbe built to accommodate the students desiring to park near those build¬ ings. I hate shattering people's hopes, but Rick says there will be no new parking lots in the future at this campus. Government codes mandate that campus parking lots be self-sufficient. In other words, the 54 dollar parking fee we pay goes to the upkeep of existing parking lots or the building of new lots. We can forget the "building of new lots" because a California State Student Association man¬ date says tfikt the fee money will go to encourage alternate student transportation. The mandate must * be working because thousands of drivers every day are thinking "There must be a better way!" In the meantime Rick is opti¬ mistic. He believes that when the new Education Building is com¬ plete it will pull students away from parking Lot Q (northwest end of campus) and over to Lots C and V (southeast are*of campus).
