members have considered passing around a petition or even organizing a sit-in at Strong Hall to voice their concerns about the parking situation.
"When the weather gets worse, even more drivers will come onto campus," he said. "If we have to pay more for our parking, we be more than just a hunt license."
Christy Cattaneo, Mission Hills graduate student, attends the KU law school. She said she experienced many parking problems every day.
Cattaneo said it was very typical for her to walk in high-heeled shoes and a suit, carrying a full backpack plus a load of books, from the furthest lot south of Allen Field House to Green Hall.
As an undergraduate, Cattaneo attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. At Vanderbilt, she said, freshman weren't allowed to park on campus. She said she thought a priority system should be established, similar to Vanderbilt's, that would outline who could park the lots closest to campus.
She said graduate students who already had been through four years of undergraduate school, faculty members and seniors should get first priority on the closest lots, then juniors and finally sophomores and
freshman.
Although Lori Turner, Wellington sophomore, doesn't have a class until 9:30 a.m., she arrives on campus early just to get a space.
"I have to be here by 9 a.m. just to park in the O-zone," she said. "One day I almost missed class because I sort of had to park illegally."
Turner said she thought that if students purchased a permit, they should be able to find a parking space in a lot instead of having to pay extra money for parking fines because legal spaces were unavailable.
Kearns said it just took time for students to get adjusted to the parking situation.
"The bottom line is that there is no shortage of parking spaces," he said.
"The lots aren't maxed out. Just the lots that the people prefer to park in are maxed out.
"If you're a commuter student, and your first class is in the business school, you would prefer to park in that sector. If there are no spaces, you're upset. But if you went across campus, there would be space."
Strong Hall, than other parking lots that are full every day, he said.
Kearns said the parking lot directly west of Memorial Stadium was less than one-quarter full every day. That lot is actually closer to the center of campus, the front lawn of
Kearns said that this semester parking serviced had sold more faculty and staff permits than they had in past years. The number of permits that are sold is something parking services can never predict, he said.
No figures on the total amount of parking permits sold have been compiled yet, Kearns said.
The total number of parking spaces on campus, including West Campus, is 9,646, according to 1985 parking service figures. Yellow zone parking lots have a total of 3,176 spaces, blue zone parking lots have 844 spaces and red zone parking lots have 946 spaces. All residence halls combined have 2,491 spaces. The numbers for blue, red and yellow lots exclude a variety of parking spaces, such as handicapped parking, meter parking and spaces on West Campus.
Downpours flood K.C. for 2nd day
Faculty, staff and administration can purchase blue and red permits. Students can purchase yellow permits or resident hall permits.
From Kansan wires
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heavy thunderstorms swept through the metropolitan area yesterday for the second night in a row causing a portion of a parking lot to collapse and creating treacherous conditions for rush-hour traffic, authorities said.
The storm, which moved through the area and dumped up to 1 inch of rain in a half-hour period before breaking up into drizzle about 6:30 p.m., forced the Kansas City Police Department to close several intersections prone to flooding.
Police in the Kansas City suburbs of Overland Park and Mission kept a watch on Indian and Turkey creeks
Several shoppers at the Mission Shopping Center had to be evacuated from their cars as waters flooded the parking lot, turning it into a giant lake.
An overhanging section of a multilevel parking facility at the shopping center collapsed, police said. There were no injuries reported in connection with the collapse.

John Selk, engineer with Landplan Engineering, was contracted to draw up the design for the parking lot two weeks ago, he said. The new parking lot will be located behind Jollife Hall.
He said Landplan would submit the plans in about a month, so that the University could take bids for construction.
Les Lauzer, Osage City junior and Student Senate representative for the scholarship halls, said that The All Scholarship Hall Council was told in February that they would have the new parking lot in the fall.
"Now we hope to have the parking by the spring," he said. "I hope we can have it before the first snowfall.
"The parking problem is reaching large proportions. The parking lot behind The Wheel (507 W. 14th St.), is often full with people who do not live in the scholarship halls."
The other parking lot for scholarship hall students is on Louisiana Street, which is a long walk from the scholarship halls.
"Snap out of smoking!"
"When you feel like smokin' a cigarette, instead of smoking it, tie the band—the Larry Hagman Special Stop Smokin Wrist Shappin Red Rubber Band. This band is one of American Cancer Society.
