Larry Silvis encountered several problems when he first came here, including students' confusion of where visitors can park, where to pay for fines, where to get permits, and how to keep track of it all. "The permit money goes to University Park, and we have to account for all of the money due and the permits sold." Silvis masterminded a new program, which enables students to get a permit at the same time they pay for it, all at the Finance Office. "Students can pay and appeal fines at the Finance Office instead of walking all the way over to Police & Safety," commented Silvis. The new program, which began March 15, establishes that students must pay their fines in the Finance Office during normal office hours, or have them charged to their student accounts by reporting to the Finance Office or the Office of Police & Safety. "Permit changes will not be implemented until summer school--only the changes involved with the payment and appeal of fines will be dealt with this spring semester," said Silvis. "We've been trying to get control of this whole parking mess for a while now." --Larry Silvis, Director Police & Safety "We implemented the plan on March 15 so that we can get the bugs worked out of it before the end of the year." Silvis mentioned that "all permits will be on hanging tags next year. The actual permit will be a sticker which will be affixed to the tag. Students can use the permit on any vehiote they want." All the details aren't released, but Silvis said that they will be available closer to the end of the semester. One score and five years ago: Dr. John M.
