Unpaid tickets a national
By Chuck Beck
; Those city parking tickets you've
neglected to pay will cost you more
than the fine. It may mean being
charged for a court appearance
plus the fine,, if you are caught.
On the other hand, campus
parking tickets for students may
mean their grades and preregistra
tion will be withheld. Faculty
members may be reminded to pay
? their parking fines- by Faculty
Senate members or by college
deans, John Duve, UNL traffic and
parking coordinator said.
Unpaid parking tickets are a
growing concern for police depart
ments nation-wide, according to a
-Nov. 6 Christian Science Monitor
news service release. Traffic ex
perts attribute the problem to
"increased urban congestion and
the large amounts of paperwork
necessary in tracking down "scoff
laws," people who neglect to pay
parking fines, the release states.
Court Warrant
In Lincoln, a person who doss
; not pay a fine after 15 days will
receive a mailed warrant tor nim to
appear in municipal court. If the
person does not respond to the
warrant, he will be subject to
arrest. The Campus Police Office,

'however, does not issue warrants.
The problem of notifying people
about unpaid parking tickets in
Lincoln apparently is not as acute
as in Chicago, Detroit or Boston.
Nearly half of the parking tickets
issued in these cities go unpaid,
according to the Monitor release.
In Lincoln, about 700 parking
tickets are issued in a day, while 25
tickets a day go on warrant, said
Charlene Macaluso, a clerk at the
Lincoln municipal violations office.
Campus police officers write an
average of 300 parking tickets a
day. Because no warrants are
issued, a student will receive a
reminder three days after being
issued the ticket, and then a
reminder from the Student Affairs
office, Duve said.
Misplaced tickets
Duve theorized that students
neglect to pay their tickets because
they forget to come to the Campus
Police Office at 1024 Avery Ave., or
because they misplaced the ticket.
He said students who disagree with
being issued a ticket may decide to
appeal a violation to the Parking
Appeals Board, a committee of five
students.
The reasons students appeal
parking tickets vary, Todd Man-

concern
vitz, parking appeals committee
chairman said.
One complaint involved a stu
dent who received a ticket for
parking in two stalls because other
cars were parked wrong and he
couldn't find another stall to park
in," Manvitz said.
"We also hear cases where a
student parked in the wrong area
because he couldn't find a space in
the area for which his ticket was
issued.
The committee hears an average
of 40-70 appeals a week, and about
15 per cent of the total appeals
heard are granted, he said.
Reasons for unapid fines
Why do people violate parking
laws and then decide not to pay the
fine?
"I feel that paying $25 to rent a
parking space is more expensive
than paying fines," said one
student, who did not want to be
identified.
"I'm larcenous enough that I will
pay the fine only if I feel I might be
caught."
The "scefflaw" noted that, "If I
examined myself more closely, I
could probably find reasons why I
should be able to park in the wrong
