Cammon Free Period Interested Students Pro In my opinion, the : common free period will be advantageous to all the stu- dents for the following rea- sons: l. Any students be- longing to clubs, for ex- ample, will have a time when all classrooms and all students will be available. 2 It will give every- one a chance to get together for sports, and jam sessions elcC, 3e With a common free period it will boost the school spirit which is alinst totally non-existant at this point, Con Very shortly, we're all going to be voting on some- thing known as the Common Free Hour, To many people this could be very beneficial, but, to many others it will not ve, This is what I'd like to be considered. any kids are able to schedule work around their classes, but many less fortunate kids have to schedule their courses around tneir jobs. These same same kids are the ones that possibly wouldn't be coming here if they didn't work. 4a Common Free Hour would be great for those who have all day to do notaing, but it isn't very fair to the min- ority of kids wiio nave sonme- thing else to do. For ex- ample, the kids who are mar- ried, or the people who came a long distance. Other things to be cons.dered are coarses. If one period is knocked out that means 10 classes are either cancelled or reschede- uled, This could possibly mean losing one of your coarses, staying loter, or having two scheduled at the same time. The Cominon frec Hour is a great idea, but because it will hurt some people, much consi- deration should be given to the passing of it. PARKCLIIG? WHERE? Tom Osiecki The Delaware County Campus of Penn Statthas an enrollment of approximately 750 students and a parking lot with a capacity of less spaces than the number of tickets sold, which is 250, The Lot, wnich must be shared by students, faculty, administration and nurses is the center of a growing controversy at Delco. The first group of students registering this term were sold parking permit 13 on a first come, first served vasis,leaving the rest of the students to their own resources. These resources include the 1U an hour, municipal parking or the Chester streets. Ticketing by Chester police and the university plus the municipal lot fee, which may run up to $15.00 a month (twice the school's fee for a term), has financially strapped many students. Harry Drain, an employee of the B.J. Burke Security Systems, has been guarding Delco's lot for the past 5 years. Drain's job is to uphold university parking regulations and issue tic- kets to offenders. Tickets are sent to the office of the Business Manager. Kenneth A, Good, Busi- ness Manager at Delco, issued a set of Parking and Traffic regulations to all students during registration. When asked if the administration nad attempted to find a solution to the parking situ- ationbefore the term began, Good replied that many had been tried before, but none were workable, "All I can say is bear with it for the rest of the term.” : The Lima Campus with parking for 500 cars will be policed by S.G.iA. officers. All money from tickets goes into the S.u.ia.'s fund now and at Lima.
