Traffic jam
Silvis & Co. solve parking problem
by Gary Johnson
News Editor
"We've been trying to get
control of this whole parking
mess for awhile now," said Larry
Silvis, Director of Police &
Safety, of the confusion over
parking permits and fines.
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.
