Faculty favor extra parking fee
By Lise Olsen

Although the results are not yet
final, about 90 percent of UNL faculty
members surveyed said they would pay
$40 to $60 more for a reserved parking
space near their office, based on about
1 00 responses collected by the campus
parking administrator.
Final results of the parking survey,
which includes 150 faculty members,
will be available next week.
The addition of reserved faculty lots
is one of a series of options UNL offi
cials are exploring to alleviate the
campus parking problem.
The faculty reserve lots would cost
from $80 to $1 20 per year, said Lt. John
Burke, campus parking administrator.
Currently, acuity ' members' j and : stii-'
dents pay $40 per year for unreserved
stalls. Aiy'v..; r .
Presently, about w6 facultyroembers
college deans and administrators
already have nearby reserved stalls,
Burke said. Under the current proposal,
such officials would also have to pay
extra for their parking privilege.
Actual fees for reserved places would
vary depending on the number of re
served hours. A 10-hour five day week
reservation and a 24-hour seven day
week reservations are currently being
examined, Burke said.

After the lot is completed, cur

Charging an extra fee for a guaran

the Parking Advisory Committee have
been heavily researching alternatives
since the Lied Center for Performing
Arts and other campus construction
projects will consume about 150 park

Campaign posters carrying con
troversial statements that call resi
dence hall students "apathetic and
uninformed" were denied by Lynn
DiDonato, chairman of the ASUN
scholastic commission, Wednesday.
The posters, which call for resi
dence hall students to "Piss Off A
Greek" by voting en masse, began
appearing on residence hall floors
Monday, DiDonato said.

"I never said those words, in that
order, with that connotation on that
poster," DiDonato said.
DiDonato said someone miscon
strued her words and she believes
the statements were made from

"I simply have ray own ideas and

But DiDonato said ASUN party
candidates were present at the
meeting.
DiDonato said she was "disturb

hopes that they have not affected
the outcome of the ASUN elections.
"The ASUN administration has

of residence hall students, she said.
The commission meetings, usu-f

"What's important to me now is
clearing my name with the resi

DiDonato said she hoped those
responsible- for the campaign pos

the Electoral Commission and the
student court.
