UNL police issued more than 48,000
parking tickets in the 1984-85 school
year, an increase of 4,000 from the year
before.
UNL police officer John Burke said
more tickets were issued because park
ing enforcement was more consistent.
Last year, Burke said, 10 part-time
student employees and two full-time
employees wrote tickets. Students
worked three- to four-hour shifts daily.
As soon as one student finished a shift,
another started, so parking areas were
checked more frequently, he said.
The deparment used to have six full
time employees and two students writ
ing tickets. But, Burke said, as employ
ees retired or quit, the department
hired more part-time student employees.
In addition to continuing thorough
parking area patrols this fall, Burke
said, parking fines will increase.
Meter violations will cost $3, instead
of $2. Cars parked in the wrong lot,
without a permit or in a no-parking
zone, will be ticketed at $15, a $5
increase from last year.
By increasing fines, UNL police are
trying to address people who don't have
permits, Burke said.
Parking meters are the only place on
campus that people without permits
can park, he said. The largest meter lot
is between Morill Hall and Selleck
Quadrangle.
Some meters will be moved next
year. The meters at 10th and T streets,
near the South Stadium ticket office
will be moved west across the street to
student-staff Parking Areas 20 and 21,
Burke said. The move will help decrease
accidents caused by people waiting to
get into the meters, he said.
All meters along the streets, with
the exception of 15th Street in front of
Selleck Quadrangle, and all two-hour
parking lanes are controlled by the
city. Tickets at these meters are issued
by the Lincoln Police Department.
Students who want to park on cam
pus must buy parking permits. A per
mit costs $40 a year or $25 a semester.
Student permits will be sold at the
Bob Devaney Sports Center from 8:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Aug. 21 through Aug.
26. After this time, permits will be
available at UNL Police Headquarters,
1335 N. 17th SDt.
UNL police will have two cash regis
ter lines at the sports center to speed
up the process. Two registers were set
up last year and the longest wait for
service was about 45 minutes, Burke
said.
"If students wait to come to head
quarters, things will be jammed," he
said.
When students and faculty members
buy parking permits for their cars this
year, they also will hae an opportunity
to receive free motorcycle permits,
Burke said.
People always could have
. . . w. v man
one car on a single permit, he said but
they had to buy a separate $10 permit
for a motorcycle.
"That didn't seem fair," Burke said.
The change was made so people can
ride motorcycles on nice days, leaving
more open spaces for cars, ho
Burke said he thinks a lot of staff 1
meiiiut-is wm lane advantage of the
new program.
"It could help considerably," he
said. "We'll just have to wait and see."
Burke said about 400 motorcycle
permits were sold last year. About 40
free ones have been distributed so far
for this year, he said.

UNL to buy parking lots
By Lisa Plooster
Special to the Daily Nebraskan
To combat parking problems at
UNL, the Parking Advisory Board
and the university are working on
two major improvements for student
parking.
By the end of the fall semester,
students will have about 500 to 600
new parking spaces, Ray Coffey,
secretary of the Parking Advisory
Board, said.
For one project the university
bought the old Rock Island Railroad
property, which runs west of 19th
Street from R to Vine streets. The
university is paying $950,000 for the
10 acres of land to be used for park
ing. The land is close to campus and
residence halls and is good location
for student parking, Coffey said.
Currently, the project is bogged
down in some legal problems, but
Coffey said they soon should be
resolved. After the purchase is final,
the area will be available for use in
30 to 60 days, which means it will be
finished sometime during the fall
semester, he said. The new lot will
not be paved, but the gravel surface
will provide approximately 300 to
400 additional spaces for student
parking.
To help commuting students who
do not have parking permits, the
Parking Advisory Board plans to use
the remaining land in the purchase
for metered parking. The board
plans to expand the small metered
lots around the residence halls and
eventually try to merge them into
one large lot.
"I think the new parking area
will help the students a lot espe
cially those who have to commute to
school every day," Coffey said.
The other development is on the
north side of the Harper-Schramm-Smith
residence hall complex. John
Burke, UNL Police Department park
ing administrator, said that about
220 new spaces have been added
there and are ready for use this fall.
This property also was bought from
the railroad, and since it is so close
to the complex, it should solve the
parking problem for students living
there, Burke said.
According to Burke, the univer
sity sold 12,506 parking permits in
1984-85 and had only 10,500 parking
spaces available. Burke said the
Parking Advisory Board members
understand lack of parking space is
a problem for students, and they are
trying to help. Parking at the uni
versity is "always being changed
and expanded," Burke said.
The funds for parking improve
ment come mainly from revenue col
lected from violations, permit sales
and meters, Burke said.
