University Police Set New Parking Rules

University police are about to begin a crackdown on Faculty members and employees who park their cars illegally on University grounds. At the same time penalties for student violators have been lightened.

Faculty and employees will be fined for parking violations after they are warned twice. Previously, University police had no power to fine anyone except students for illegal parking.

Students, who were formerly warned only once before being fined, will now have to accumulate three tickets before being assessed five dollars. All subsequent violations will bring a ten-dollar lne.

"We're not being spiteful towards the faculty," said Robert Tonis, chief of the University police. "It's just that the parking problem is getting out of hand. We have to make certain that people who are assigned to specific parking places can use them, and if we can't punish violators among the employees, there's no way we can guarantee anyone a parking place."
