Regarding the statement at
tributed to Dave Works, in a Let

last issue; in no way does the
quoted statement reflect Mr.
Dear Editor:
The Student Union Board and
the Joint Residence Council
would like to use this space to
publicly thank Dr. Roger
Sweeting for the high degree of
cooperation that he showed
toward us on the Monday night
concert that we jointly sponsored.
We are sympathetic to the fact
that rescheduling two women’s
intramural basketball games
would probably be difficult. We
understand that even though it
worked before, the basketball.net
probably won’t raise. We can
appreciate all these problems,
and despite all of the com
plications the concert was well
received and enjoyed by the
students.
By the way, we heard a rumor
that if you talk real nice, say your
prayers every night and be real
good to the audio visual depart
ment, there may be a pair of
spotlights in your stocking come

Parking
Are you planning to bring a car
with you when you move to
University Park next year?
Particularly if you plan'on living
in an apartment in town, you had
better consider these facts before
deciding.
Parking spaces at most area
apartment buildings are scarce,
especially late at night and on
football weekends. Apartment
buildings in residential zones
must provide 1.15 parking spaces
per apartment, while downtown
and commercial zones are
required to provide two spaces
per unit.
An example of the problem
developing from this situation is
Parkway Plaza apartments who
have about 1200 residents and
only 450 spaces. They have had to
limit parking to one space per
apartment. There are few side
streets on which to park and

Dear Editor:

campus, non-resident students
I present you with a song written
by myself. Actually, it is a recent
tune put out by Chicago titled,
“Another Rainy Day in New York
City”. The lyrics were drastically
changed to describe the present
attitudes of these students
mentioned above. I can still be
sung to the original music of the
song, which is found on the
Chicago Ten Album. A few words
in the song must be defined so
that everyone can understand the
meanings.
1) Stairway Patients - in a lot of
off campus apartment complexes
there are patients living in the
complex that are under the
jurisdiction of Stairways, which
is best described as a half-way

off U.P.
Parkway Plaza is far from
downtown public lots. In most
apartments there are more than
one person per unit and if more
than one of them has a car a
definite problem result.
Most apartment buildings
either charge for parking
stickers, or include the cost of
parking in the rent. Where
stickers are required, the
management can and does often
ticket cars parked in the lots
without stickers. The
Organization for Town
Independent Students (OTIS) and
USG Legal Affairs have received
complaints from students who
received $25 tickets issued by
their apartment managers. But
as long as it is specified in their
lease that stickers are required
for parking, this is a legal
practice by management.

Another Snowy Day
in Dreary Erie
Another snowy day in dreary Erie
Crystal white, so silently it falls
In East 38th car sprawls
Memories tucked away
in dreary Erie
Boring, dull, too amateur,
that’s true!
And nothing I can do.
The dorm and all their beer
And Stairway patients here
Another snowy day
in dreary Erie.
Another wasted day,
in dreary Erie
The Behrend College
atmosphere is stale
The threat that you might fail.
Windy, dark and gray is
dreary Erie.
No one here I really want to see
Get billed from G.T.E.
Our girls are all back home
Then why am I alone
Another snowy day
in dreary Erie.

Dear Editor
I fail to see the reasoning
behind these advertisement
schemes. Why must we have
onslaughts of papers in our
mailboxes? In case no one has
heard, America’s resources
aren’t infinite. Paper is made
from trees, a costly commodity.
Why not one large sign, poster,
etc.*, in a central location instead
of overkill advertisement that
gets scattered on the floor of the
RUB?

4i As I See It
Old man winter has again
deposited big bunches of snow on
the Erie area and it looks like
Behrend will be inundated with
that awful white stuff for a while.
I’m not going to make a case
against winter because it does
have its good points, but the bad
points like cold, snow and wetness
seem to outweigh Peek Peak
and hot-buttered rum. I do have
one thing to say for that big man
in the sky, it appears that he has
completely baffled the main
tenance department by his
periodic onslaught of that white
fluffy snow.
The maintenance department’s
inability to cope with the snow
removal-problem in the parking
area has intensified an already
acute commuter parking
situation. The commuter parking
spaces, which in good weather
can only accommodate 50 percent
of the total number of commuter
cars, are further reduced by
inadequate plowing. At least
when the weather is good you can

N ovember 16, 1976
park your car on the grass in lieu
of a more appropriate spot. In the
winter it’s slightly rougher
because when you get your car on
top of those snowbanks, it’s tough
to get it off.
If you happen to hit the jackpot
and stumble into a parking space
you’re not as lucky as you
thought. While you’re in the RUB
cafeteria eating lunch, the
maintenance department may be
plowing your car under with
snow. With the situation being as
it is there doesn’t appear to be
any remedies in the near future.
Either more spaces have to be
provided or the spaces that
already exist must be properly
maintained. Based on -main
tenance’s previous score card,
however, I personally don’t see
any change in sight for the near
future. So, if you do get hung up,
the maintenance department’s
extension is 288. Give them a call,
I’m sure they’d love to give you a
hand.
