A record 16,000 parking tickets have
been issued by UNL police since June
30, which is 3,000 more than the
number of tickets given during the
same time last year, UNL Police Lt.
John Burke said.
Twelve parking control officers
all students are now patrolling
campus lots, compared to 10 officers
last year. The extra officers have meant
an increase in hours patrolled on cam
pus from 200 hours last year to 240
hours this year, Burke said.
He said he expects the officers to
issue 60,000 tickets by June 19, 1987.
The most common violations are ex
pired meters, no valid parking permit
and parking in an unauthorized area,
Burke said.
"The majority of the people on cam
pus comply with the rules, Burke said.
"Only a small percentage, by neglect of
reading the rules or on purpose, try to
beat the system."
Everyday, police are impounding 15
to 20 cars with violations unpaid after
20 business days after the date of the
violation.
"If people have a stack of tickets,
instead of waiting for the inevitable,
they should come in and talk to us,"
Burke said. "If they're sincere, we can
work something out, and we can keep
them off the impoundment list."
Kathryn Martin, a junior English
major, said she is a "professional park
ing ticket person." She has received 20
parking tickets since the fall semester
began.
All of her tickets were for expired
meters, and she said at least half of
them were given unfairlyShe said she
has three hours of classes but can park
only at a two-hour meter.
But Martin said what bothers her
most is parking on football Saturdays.
"I paid $42 for a permit for a commu
ter lot and I have to pay $5 every foot
ball Saturday tG park," Martin said.
"They shouldn't be allowed to close
commuter lots."
Area 25 is set aside for students
until 11 a.m. on football Saturdays,
Burke said. Area 16 at 15th and S
streets is open to faculty and staff with
valid permits as is the metered lot by
the Nebraska Union. ,
"We do not want to take away park
ing from those who legitimately need to
park on a Saturday," Burke said.
Students can appeal their tickets to .
the UNL Parking and Traffic Appeals
Committee. Chairman Dick Young said
the committee reviews appeals by about
20 to 30 students every other week.
About 50 percent of the violations are
dismissed.

John FJanhart, coordinator of Csthoiic Social Services Food
Bank identifies this display as emergency foods that would
be sent to a family of four in Lincoln. The CSS display was
part of the World Hunger Day held at Westminster Presbyter
ian Church Thursday.
Nebraskans have donated one half
million dollars every year for the past
four or five years to world hunger relief
organizations, Nebraska CROP suppor
ter Dick Staple said.
CROP is a national organization that
works through more than 1,600 com
munities across the country to gain
support for their fight against world
hunger.
Wednesday was World Food Day, and
CROP and other local organizations
gathered at the Westminster Presby
terian Church to discuss local food
issues and Nebraska's role in the world
food situation.
Fifty-nine Nebraska counties are
involved in CROP'S activities. Nebraska
CROP, gives 25 percent of its aid or
approximately $100,000 to local food
pantries. Their main form of fundrais
ing is through local charity walks.
CROP is parallel to the Church
World Serve. The CWS is a relief, devel
opment and refugee assistance arm of
31 Protestant and Orthodox denom
inations. CWS values their assistance over the
past 40 years at nearly $700 million, in
more than 70 countries.
The assistance is given through mis
sionary churches that do such things as
help communities improve their agri
cultural methods, learn about health
and nutrition and begin practicing soil
conversation.
Rev. Daniel C. Schroeder, head of
Nebraska CROP, said their programs
emphasize self-help and development
in the lesser developed countries.
"We work in countries with shooting
wars going on. We are in places such as
Lebanon, Central America, Ethiopia
and Angola where the political situa
tion might not be one we like,"
Schroeder said.
Schroeder said Nebraska has and
will continue to play a great role in
feeding starving people in other coun
tries. He mentioned several projects
recently accomplished in Nebraska.
Nebraska Shares, the Nebraska
Hunger Drive Coaltion, Nebraska CROP,
Burlington Northern Railroad, Union
Pacific and numerous volunteers made
it possible for 400,000 pounds of
Nebraska produced commeal to be
shipped to Zaire, Africa May 15.
