In itwas a letter to the editor from Nancy Love, a graduate student in Environmental Systems Engineering, commenting on the parking problems on campus. 1 want to applaud Nancy for her suggestions to Bill Pace and the Parking Committee. Not having enough parking spaces is not the problem on campus, too many people are driving to campus alone when Uiey could carpool or walk or bike. (Severalyears ago. Chronicle sponsored an aborted rally on parking conditions. We tliought the conditions were ridiculous at that time. Not enough spaces, too many tickets, we didn't even have the option ofthe shuttle then. Things are much worse now. Many cars are illegally parked in lots all across campus, usually blocking traffic and limiting access to emergency vehicles. Andyet the "ticket witches" are too busy to strictly enforce the rules (where necessary). About the same time as the cancelled rally, I appealed a ticket for parking on the grass near Mill^^ Way. I was not blocking access or egress in case ofan emergency. It appears as ifthe unwritten rules have shifted in favor ofthis situation temporarily. I support that. Butwhen a driver cannot successfully navigate through a two-way street because ofcars parked along the curb, something needs to be done quickly (not over the course ofa semester or two). Nancy Love's suggestions for reducing traffic were partially ignored by tlie Lx>ard. Their focus is on expan- sion ofparking lots to allow for the high levels oftraffic, not on tlie reduction oftraffic. This is an environmentally destructive attitude. There is already too much pavementon campus. Carpooling and biking would alleviate some ofthese situations. 1 recommend tliat the Office ofStudent Affairs look into this issue and take action where the Parking Commit- tee would not. Carpool sign-up for students could be coordinated in the Loggia along with the current Pide- Pider Board for weekend trips. Faculty Senate and Uie Commission on Classified StaffAffairs could coordinate similar attempts among the faculty and staff As citizens ofthe Unitsd States, many ofus are spoiled. We are so independent it proves difficult to adjust our personal schedules to accommodate another's responsibilities. don'twant to arrive atwork early and I someone else does not want to stay late. But compromise can be reached. We do not need to be so self centered to believe thatwe are the center ofthe universe. But ifin factwe are, when the center breaks (and it is cracking), the whole system will fall apart And even iftlie whole universe is not destroyed by our foolishness, our home (and the perceived center ofour universe), Mother EarUi, will be.
