interim director this fall. The duties he performed
as graduate assistant have helped prepare him for
the post, Carpenter said. _
Going around campus counting stalls, helping
design the Parking and Transit Master Plan and
doing research on parking issues are some of the
tasks that have given Carpenter knowledge about
parking at UNL.
As a graduate assistant in the office, Carpenter
said he worked closely with McDowell.
Working next to die former director has given
him insight on die workings of the office and the
challenges of Parking and Transit Services.
Carpenter said he would stick to the previous
plan to deal with a parking crunch that has devel

“We’re going to keep on going with the previ

to maintain stall count,” Carpenter said.
Parking structures will hawe to be built to cany

campus, Carpenter said he anticipated no major
changes during his temporary tenure.
