Well, maybe they were banking on Student Government to represent them. After all, both the Vision and Action parties promised in last week's Student Senate elections they would emphasize student interests in local politics. Sorry, SG officials missed that meeting. They probably did not want to make a big stink on this issue because most of them get plush parking at their fraternity and sorority houses. It's important to keep good public relations, you know.
Students have voices, opinions.
If this ordinance becomes law, each house will be allowed to have only two parking spaces at maximum of 8 feet by 16 feet, and they must be paved or mulched to guard against erosion. No more than 40 percent of the house's lawn could be used for parking. So apparently, if four roommates live together in one house where the ordinance is to be enforced, two of those roommates will have to find somewhere else to park. A group of students at the next commission meeting could prevent the measure from becoming law. All rights reserved.
