crease in parking spaces. In the
last year pressure has increased
from officials of the town Of New
l ark and from local citizens, espec-
tally those living near the campus,
that the university do something
to alleviate the cOngested parking
situation.
Two alternatives confronted those
attempting to resolve the problem:
to secure more parking space for
automobiles or to restrict the
bringing Of cars to Newark by stu
dents.

land near the campus Far more
pressing demands for university
funds are presented in the need for

student driving and parking, as
many other universities have been

operating a motor vehicle in
Newark while in attendance
at the university during 1854

z. All motor vehicles brought to
wark by upperclassmen
must be registered with the
university.
8. Parklng In university parking
areas during daytime hours
will be limited to cars owned
and operated by faculty and
staff personnel and by com
muter students. Students in
residence will be permitted to
park in the university park
ing areas only at night.

campus parking program, three
types Of metal registration tags will
be issued during the coming year
