Space Wars
'It's a very difficult year with parking. Spaces have decreased because of construction. We have limited parking with an unlimited number of students.'
Morris Faiman Parking Board chairman

percent and even with oversell restrictions. Clayton said North Carolina still had parking problems.
Construction is taking away 300 to 500 spaces a year, which are not being replaced, she said. For North Queensland, the only long range solution, she said
At the University of Iowa, no students have permits to park on campus. Students must pay 30 cents an hour at a meter to park.
town has commuter lots on the outskirts of campus, said Linda Grisfeit, manager of parking services at the town's center. She limit on commuter permits.
Another of KU's peer schools, the University of Oregon at Eugene, seems to have parking policies similar to KU. Oregon doesn't have any
Oregon sold 7,000 permits for 2,500 spaces last year, for a 357 percent oversell.
But its parking problems are much worse.
Richard Tamer, associate director of public safety at Oregon, said, "We're all in a bind. People know when they buy a permit they're buying a hunting license. It would be amazing to just eliminate parking on campus."
oversell formula either.
Oversell is not the only problem at Oregon. Like KU, it also has to deal with construction.
Work on a 450-space parking garage is scheduled to begin in the spring. The structure will be one of 11 construction projects, nine of which are at Gordon's campus. It will mean the loss of 500 parking spaces, Tanner said.
If there is a solution, Oregon has placed its faith in a student-fee-
financed bus system.
"Everyone will not give up their cars, but we hope that enough of them will leave their cars at home." Tanner said.
But Roy said Colorado's problem "is probably a bit worse" than KU's.
He said Colorado had about 23,000 students and about 8,000 faculty and staff. They compete for 6,000 permit and 4,500 placements and 4,500 in outlying areas.
At the University of Colorado Boulder, overseat is 17 percent, said Joe Roy, a leaustrant with the University Police Department, which is responsible for division. Like KU and Oregon, Colorado has no oversee formula
"People tend to think they can just drive wherever they want to drive." Roy said, "I like to叫 it the great Western Open Spaces' mentality, People in our area say, 'wherever I'm going there should be a parking
space.'"
space.
The fifth of KU's peer schools, the University of Oklahoma, has no wear at all.
But even though Oklahoma has no oversell, there is a perceived problem, she said.
paran Blusch, manager of parking and transportation, said the number of permits sold was about equal to the total number of parking spaces.
"It's a problem because of a lack of education." Blaud said. "People around here are too used to parking up in front of their front door."
Permit fees are the same for faculty, staff and students at 455 per person. You can park at the Lloyd Noble Center, OU's basketball arena, they can take advantage of free parking and other facilities as long as you have a student I.D.

More permits than spaces
Construction of the Human Development Center,meanwhile,forced the loss of 75 spaces in lot 37, north of Malot Hall.
o compensate for the loss of the 52 blue spaces in lot 37, the parking board changed 78 red spaces to blue spaces and placed them in front of the Boarding Gymnasium.
James Sherman, chairman of the department of human development and family life and a blue permit holder, doesn't mind the change.

"I always parked somewhere else, anyway," Sherman said. "There was never any space behind Haworth. It was always full."
Bacteria was parking so scarcity, Sherman said he sometimes had to park at his home on Tennessee from a wak 10 to 15 minutes to Haworth.
Oversell increases
Oversell — the number of permits sold compared with the number of parking spaces on the Lawrence barrier factor in the KU parking problem.
Dave Eames/KANSAN
Oversell includes these permit areas: yellow, blue, red, residence hall, Alumni Plaza, Sunflower
Total oversee for permit spaces this year is 20.96 percent, up almost three points from last fall's 18.22 percent, according to figures released Friday by parking services.
Apartments and Stouffer Place.
And oversite figures in two prime permit areas — yellow and blue zones — are considerably higher than the total oversite percentage
Yellow zones are the most overstated, at 40.85 percent, a 92.9 percent increase in college students was expected, though, because student lots traditionally had the most turnover. He said yellow overstates the trend at 48.4 percent and still be acceptable.
"Essentially, what we have right now is that any student can buy a book on language for himself or a student, however, may only come to class (or two or three) a week at school."
That's it. yellow oversell figures include 819 yellow spaces on West
Campus. Moseley said that fact could make the figures deceiving because overwell for yellow zones on main campus could be much higher. He said few students parked on West Campus.
"If you think students are going to walk across Iowa Street to get to Strong Hall, you're crazy." Moseley said.
Blue zones were oversold this year at 31.33 percent, a 1.14 percent decrease since last fall.
These zones gained seven spaces since spring. They are for faculty and staff whose age plus years of service equals at least 60, plus administrative positions such as deans and the chancellor.
Hultine said an oversell formula may need to be created for blue
zones and campus passes, which allow blue permit holders access to campus.
"Everybody and their dog wants a blue permit," Hulline said. "It does us no good to sell them to all the dogs in the park." She then lambed them a challenge to find a spot.
"There is no oversell policy. If you're on the blue list, or if you qualify, you're going to get one."
Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the mathematics department, has a blue pass. He said it depends on whether or not he get a good space.
