Junior Staff Writer
Letters and editorials
in the DAILY NEBRASKAN
and student opinion in gener
al show that there is discon
tent with some of the City of
Lincoln's policies toward the
University.
A small poll of students
who drive cars indicated that
those students that have to
park on the streets because
they use their cars daily find
the two hour parking limit
unsatisfactory.
These students don't have
time to use the distant Uni
versity parking areas, so they
must take their chances on
the streets. The poll indicated
that the students find it in
convenient at times if not
impossible to abide by t h e
two hour limit.
This results in the erasing
of police chalk marks or mov
ing the car up a couple of
stalls. Assistant Chief of Po
lice Orran Graves of the Lin
coln police force put it, "It's
'Becoming a game to see who
can outsmart the other; the
policeman or the student."
There was a feeling among
some students that the city
police concentrate more on
the University streets than on
other parking districts. How
ever, Graves said this is
rot true. All city parking dis
tricts are uniformly enforced
and patrolled.
It was the opinion of
Graves, Vice Chancellor Ad
am Breckenridge and Cap
tain Eugene Masters of the
University Police Force that
if the majority of those stu
dents who park on the streets
were those who needed their
cars for daily use, they could
see no reason why the two
hour limit couldn't be in
creased to a three or four
hour limit.
Also it was felt that parallel
pa.-king on 14th street from
,-S" street to Vine street
would probably help the situa
tion. However, it was added
that this decision to increase
the parking time limit would
be up to the Lincoln City
Council.
They agreed that this would
greatly help those students
whose use their car constant
ly and yet prevent other stu
dents from using the street as
a garage for their cars dur
ing the week.
Many of the students have
three or four hours of class in
a row and presently find it
impossible not to get parking
tickets during this time. Stu
dents felt that an increase in
the parking limit would ccr
tinaly help this. The poll in
dicated that students pay any
where from five to forty dol
lars worth of parking viola
tions a year and many of
them are unavoidable.
There is an extremely
small number of students who
can afford to pay these viola
tions without experiencing a
difficult financial problem.
Students say they aren't in
tentionally trying to get these
fines, but rather it is a situa
tion of unavoidability.

Opinions
dents who generally use their
cars only on the weekend,
the p r o b 1 e m is one of not
wanting to walk a couple of
blocks to get their cars. The
feeling that there isn't enough
parking areas for the number
of student cars is unwarrant
ed, according to Brecken
ridge and Masters. The Uni
versity has acquired a num
ber of new parking preas and
many of them always have
empty stalls.
A new parking area has
been set up east of the Twin
Towers. The Administration
hopes that by next year this
lot will be extended from
Vine Street all the way to R
street. This area is strictly
for those students living on
campus and it is closer to the
living units than previous lots.
Also, areas north and west of
the stadium were added this
year. Other new parking lots
are Deiween 16th and 17th on
Vine Street and behind Ne
braska Hall.
Many students hesitate to
buy parking permits because
the running fee is five dollars
a year. The poll also indicated
that many don't understand
why permit fees were raised
this year.
According to Breckenridge,
the reasons are as follows:
Because of state laws and
restrictions, the University
cannot buy or rent land for
the purpose of parking. Nor
can it appropriate funds to
build parking facilities such
as multilevel ramps.
All the parking areas now
acquired had to be bought or
rented under the contention
that they would be used for
future University Buildings.
Because of rents, mainten
ance, and expansion, the Uni
versity pays out $9.50 per
parking space a year. It only
charges the student $5 a year
for parking, which is only
half the cost of maintaining
each parking stall.
However, according to
Captain Masters, the Univer
sity receives on the average
$1,700 a month from parking
tickets. This amounts to fif
teen or sixteen thousand dol
lars a year that students pay
for improper usage of t h e
University parking areas.
The poll showed that the
biggest reason for parking
violation was ignorance
of the parking rules. Many
tickets are issued for parking
in the wrong area, parkins
in two stalls, parking on red
lines and other violations.
The general parkin reeula-
tions of the University are as
loiiows: The first rule is that
no car can park on campus
streets or lots without a Uni
versity parking permit.
Second, cars may only park
in areas designated by their
parking permit. No car mav
be parked on red lines or
areas marked "No Parking."
Areas marked by green paint
may be parked in no longer
than fifteen minutes.
Also no car may be backed
into angled stalls on metered
lots or the South Selleck lot.
One violation which provides
many tickets every month is

Society Tells Story
The Nebraska Historical So
ciety was created to preserve
and collect items telling the
history of man's inhabitance
of the Great Plains. Dating
from the earliest prehistoric
period, the Society contains
40,000 books, 20,000 volumes
of newspapers and 80,000 pic
tures and photographs, in ad
dition to tens of thousands of
other items illustrative of life
in Nebraska. Located at 15th
and R streets, it is not a part
of the University, but rather
a division of the state.

in any University area not
specifically designated or in
the metered lots. No student
may park in faculty parking
areas until after 3 p.m. These
regulations will also be in ef
fect during the summer ses
sions. The University is not fin
ing students for the purpose of
getting money or "being dif
ficult" said Breckenridge. To
have enough parking space,
students must park in their
designated areas and follow
the parking regulations, he
said.
However the University re-ived-
someioteworthy crit
icism of its metered lots from
students. The metered lots are
used primarily by Lincoln
students who get to school
late and have to find a quick
parking place.
Again many of these stu
dents find it inconvenient if
not impossible to move their
cars within the two hour time
limit. As one student put
it, "You can't say the Uni
versity police are inefficient.
Three minutes after your met
w expires you have a ticket"
The question was raised,
why can't the University put
in three hour meters to solve
their problem? There natural
ly would be the question of a
financial problem putting in

being stricter in issuing parking tickets at the University,
Ahlberg rewards two of the many student offenders with an
new meters, but students felt
that with a little initiative
and thought, the Administra
tion could probably overcome
this hurdle.
Student opinion fell upon
the City of Lincoln in other
areas. It was brought out that
the University gives much to
the City of Lincoln, Sheldon
Art Gallery, a nationally fam
ous football team and many
service organizations which
benefit Lincoln are only a
few of the University's con
tributions. Also of economic
importance is the fact that the
University generates an in
come for Lincolnites of ap
proximately $200 million a
year.
Much of the ill feeling
which many students have
toward the City of Lincoln or
iginates from the opionion that
Lincoln doesn't appreciate the
University. The poll implied
that the students feel the City
enjoys the money and contri
butions the University offers,
but that it has no desire to
give the University anything.
This ties directly in with
the feeling that the City should
help alleviate the University
parking problem. It was the
opinion of many that the city
could show a small token of
appreciation by building mu-
