Changes in parking regulations will affect students
An increase in parking fees averaging $5 a permit is one of several parking regulation changes that will affect students who plan to park on campus this fall.
The bulk of existing parking regulations, however, will remain in effect, Dick Tracy, 1976-77 chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board, said.
Residence hall permits have increased from $15 to $18, green permits from $25 to $33, other color-coded permits from $30 to $37, universal permits from $30 to $40, motorcycle permits from $18 to $23 and bicycle/cycle permits from $15 to $17. Trace said.
In addition, Tracy said toll lot fees had been raised from 25 to 30 cents.
THE FEE FOR Daisy Field Extension has been raised from $5 to $8, medical and Watkins Hospital from $30 to $52, second vehicle permits from $15 to $20 and service fees from $75.
Tracy said fees were raised because the parking office ran a deficit last year and
In addition to paying personnel who work for the parking office, Tracy said funds were used to improve and maintain lots. The lot was repaired by the company, repaving of Lot O, south of Robinson Gym.
ANOTHER NEW POLICY, Tracy said,
will be to enforce restrictions in red and
blue zones on the first day of orientation—
this year—rather than the first day
of classes.
As in the past, the enforcement of other parking regulations will begin on the first day of week.
Benta Bock, 1977-78 chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board, said the following lot designations had been changed:
Lot R1, on Oread Street north of the Kansas Union, has been changed from red-brick.
—Lot R4, along the alley between Louisiana and Ohio streets, formerly red, will be restricted to scholarship students living in Alumni Place.
The red portion of lot 1, along
Mississippi's north of the Union,
has been changed to bear
-The red-blue half of Lot N, across from
Murphy Hall on Naismith Road, has been changed to brown.
—the south half of Lt G, near Haworth trail, formerly rested 24 hours has been moved to Lt C, north of Haworth trail.
—New meters will be installed in Lots C, WE and F.
AS IN THE PAST, parking regulations will require all students to register their vehicles with the Parking Service Office and document the placement and at each call enforcement after that.
Parking personnel will be in Hoch Auditorium during registration to register

Orientation eases transition for foreigners
In mid-August, approximately 300 new foreign students find themselves in the middle of the United States, at the University of Kansas, and are left on their own to speak English, enroll, fussing and transportation, and orient themselves with Kansas.
The dean of foreign students, however, tries to make that load a little easier.
Each school year, an orientation program is sponsored by the office of foreign students. A representative of the office also meets incoming students at airports and bus stations, and gives them a limited amount of help with finding housing.
"We try to spend time with the students to make the transition easier." said Judy Woolfe, an office secretary.
"FOREIGN STUDENTS have a terrible time until they get the knowledge and experience he has with transportation problem and finding housing is impossible."
A Host Family program in Lawrence places students with families during the school year. About 50-100 families participate in the program, and some students have stayed in the program for four full years, according to an office secretary.
The University also offers an Applied English Program which is one half of the students. The others study regular university coursework.
THE ORIENTATION program includes discussions about various aspects of life in Lawrence and an English proficiency examination.
Wives of foreign students are welcomed into the Lawrence community through the Small World organization. Members of the Wives of foreign students are invited to visit.
Other clubs on campus provide services and fellowship to students from Si countries. The International Club, the Japanese Club, and the Korean Club are also available.
student vehicles. Vehicle registration is without charge and no parking privilege is authorized, according to the parking regulations.
Newly acquired vehicles must be registered within 48 hours, not including weekends, at the Parking Service Office in the Hoch Auditorium Lobby.
Students who want to park on campus must apply to the Parking and Traffic Board for a permit when, or after, the vehicle is registered.
THE UNIVERSITY maintains several types of parking, including metered spaces, handicapped parking, and no parking.
After 5 p.m., students may park most places on p.m., Bock said. Exceptions are behind Flint Hall and in the north of campus. Students are controlled 24 hours a day, she said.
Bock said the board, which is composed of students, faculty and staff, evaluated each application on its own merits before assigning a permit.
Actual assignments are made by board subcommittees, Bock said, and are not based strictly on academic rank or years at KU. Other considerations include building frequent, times of day on campus, age and mobility requirements, she said.
SINCE NO NOTIFICATION of action is mailed to students. Bock said they should check with the parking office to get their assignments and stickers.
Parking permits are valid for the entire school year, unless purchased or issued for the day of the school day.
Bock said most students were issued green permits or, if they lived in residence bails, residence hall permits. Staff members with disabilities must be faculty members usually set red and blue.
Those who are unhappy with their parking assignments, Bock said, may appeal in writing to the full Parking and Traffic Board.
BOCK SAID PERMITS allow access, but
not guarantee a space at a particular
unit.
"There are enough spaces at any one time." Tracy agreed, "but there may be a third."
Bock said the parking board oversee permits to insure full utilization of lots, since all students would not be on campus at the same time.
MIKE THOMAS, DIRECTOR of police, said students were most often cited for parking on campus without a permit and not issued a permit when they had not been issued a permit.
According to the parking regulations, the time for these offers is $5 is paid within 15 minutes.
Thomas said University parking lots were patrolled by three full-time officers and 20 firefighters.
The parking regulations state that a student who has outstanding unpaid tickets cannot re-enroll or obtain or transfer records until the fines are paid. Unpaid
hours a week.
TRACY SAID UNPAID fines were a problem for the University. It's part of the income of the parking office, he said, and if tickets are not paid, the revenue must be raised in other ways, usually with higher fees.
"We all pay for unpaid fines," he said.
or post on you unintentionally. The man
would be on your feet or stand in front.
With this person you become an "excessive violator."
Who becomes an "excessive violator"?
How does someone become an excessive violator?
The car will not be released until all fines are paid, he said.
The University Parking and Traf-
Court, composed of three law students,
hears appeals only if made within 14 days.
Tracy said.
STUDENT APPEALS have often been successful in the past, he added.
