first parking ticket
When you get your first parking ticket, and you will get at least one, whine to your closest friends. But stop your whining there. Don't whine at the parking people, most of them are just trying to make a living.
Next, log on to the parking department Web site. www.ku.edu/~parking/, and learn how to file an appeal. In the fiscal year 2001 the department granted about 25 percent of the appeals that were filed.
In the same year the department issued nearly 44,000 tickets. So, when you get your first ticket at least be sure to appeal it or pay the ticket. If you don't, a hold will be placed on your enrollment, which blocks you from continuing your education.

Because we've spent so much time telling you about what to drink and how to, maybe it's time to help save some lives. Alcohol poisoning is not as cut and dried as it seems. Everyone knows that when it's serious, you call 911. But when is it serious and do you know what to do until the ambulance gets there? Visit these links to learn all about alcohol poisoning, including warning signs to look for before things get critical. They also have some surprising facts. For instance, it's easier to get drunk when you're on the pill and you should NEVER put a drunk person in a cold shower.
