Parking spots outnumber permits sold

This year, 14,032 parking permits were sold for the 14,457 parking spots available on campus, Director of KU's Parking & Transit Donna Hultine said. According to KU's 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan, at its peak, only 62 percent of campus parking is occupied.
Hultine said most students don't realize how many parking spots are available for their use.
on a shuttle or walking.
"Parking is a finite resource on this campus," Hultine said. "It's more of a 'I can't find a spot in the lot I wanted to.' People drive around in circles looking for a spot, when you can really spend that time parking somewhere else and hopping
While many students and staff choose to purchase parking permits, others do not and risk parking in a location where they are not permitted. As a result of this, 9,174 parking tickets have been written since residence halls opened Aug.21.
Beyond that, 81 cars have been towed, which is typically a result of having three or more unpaid parking tickets, Hultine said. Although unpermitted cars take up space, Megan Grauer, a sophomore from Shawnee, said it has never conflicted with her ability to find a spot.
"I never have really looked to see if other cars have permits or not," Grauer said. "But if the parking lot was full, and I saw a car
without a permit, I would get frustrated."
Parking for students is limited to commuter parking and resident halls. Students may purchase yellow permits for $225 according to the Parking & Transit office.
"I usually arrive on campus
Faculty and staff may purchase yellow, red, blue or gold parking permits, which allows more leeway when searching for a parking spot. The yellow permits for faculty cost the same as student permits. Red, blue and gold permits range from $270 dollars to $540.
Freshman Erin Gabriel from Derby said she does not have trouble finding a parking spot in lot 90, which is the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center lot.
between 9-9:30 a.m., but I have left and came back before for later classes, and it was just as easy to find a spot, maybe just not one as close as I wanted," Gabriel said.
Grauer also parks at the Rec and rarely has trouble finding a parking spot.
"I usually get to campus and park around 8 a.m. to 9 a.m." Grauer said. "From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. the parking lot is usually empty or not very full. Other times, I don't get to campus until around 11 a.m., and depending on the weather or finals week, the parking lot tends to fill up faster. It might take longer to find a spot, but so far, I haven't found it difficult to find a parking spot."
For freshman Evan Boxler from Shawnee, finding a
parking spot on Daisy Hill has been a challenge.
"Depending on what day it is, it is typically pretty difficult to find a parking spot," Boxler said. "It mainly angers me because I paid a couple hundred dollars for a spot, and I have a lot of trouble finding one. Once I get a spot, I try to not move my car just to save my spot. It is a huge inconvenience."
Because of her positive experience this semester, Gabriel said she is glad she purchased a permit.
"I am definitely planning on buying a parking pass again for this next year," Gabriel said. "It has made things a lot easier for me."

freshman year.
The Jayhawk Health Initiative is specifically dedicated to giving students who are interested in both medicine and service the opportunity to volunteer abroad. These students work in mobile clinics and provide medical and dental care to the indigenous people living in rural Panama.
Since its creation, Jayhawk Health Initiative has gone on one medical brigade per year to Panama, with help from "Global Brigades" and "Heart to Heart International."
This year, Loving is focusing on preparing the future leaders of the group, due to her graduating in just a few months.
A participant in last year's medical brigade to Panama poses with a child he helped. The brigade is a part of the Jayhawk Health Initiative.
Jena Klaas, a freshman from Piper, was one of the 50 candidates chosen for the 2015 brigade.

Klaas found out about Jayhawk Health Initiative through her resident assistant. After attending a meeting, she thought the trip would tie in perfectly with her community health major.
As they have in the past, the brigade will last a week starting May 17 with students' days already planned out.
"I'm most excited for working directly with the patients," Klaas said. "There aren't many other opportunities for trips where you get to do that. I'm also excited to educate them on different aspects of health to hopefully improve their lives in the future."
Upon their arrival in Panama, the group organizes all of the medications and prepares the clinic for the upcoming three days that are delegated to working it. Loving said Jayhawk Health
Initiative, with help from other groups, supplies the entire thing.
Before they return home, volunteers also get to experience a day of culture in Panama. Each year, they do something different. In the past, the group has gone on hikes and visited local market places and schoolhouses.
Within the clinic are a multitude of stations: triage, dental, consult and pharmacy, delegating a wide range of responsibilities to the volunteers.
"We were able to play with the schoolchildren during their morning break," said Morgan Klug, a senior from Wichita who went on one of the previous year's trips. "We taught them how to play 'When I'm Gone' with plastic cups and played soccer with them. Later in the afternoon we were able to go to a
Loving said upon returning home, everyone has a renewed sense of gratitude for everything they have.
