Parking survey
of new roads on
Part of the newly approved
grant for campus improvements is
to go for new drives and roads on
the city campus. This announce
ment precedes by two days the
findings of a DAILY investigation
of campus parking conditions.
Complaint of nearly every stu
dent who drives a car is that it is
almost impossible to find a park
ing space anywhere near the build
ing where he has a class.
Figures from university traffic
officials show that around 700
parking permits have been issued
to faculty members and there are
only about 300 spaces reserved for
them.

tendent, says that Nebraska stu

than students on most campuses.
Many schools do not even allow
students to drive and park on the
campus without a special permit.
Lincoln people take spaces.
Much space that would be open
to students is taken by Lincoln
people who leave their cars on the
campus, especially along R street,
to avoid city parking regulations.
This charge has long been made
and has been found to be true by
the DAILY. One authority believes
these outsiders might be ruled off
the campus since it is state prop
erty. Faculty members have a slight

looking for parking space. They
