Campus parking difficulties should ease during summer
By Deron R. Graul

Parking at the University of Kansas this summer should be less congested and more relaxed than during the spring and fall semesters.
Donna Huline, assistant director of the Parking Department, said the parking crunch common during the regular academic year normally was not a problem during the summer because students competed for parking spaces.
Lot restrictions and parking fines during the summer session are the same as during the rest of the year, she said.
In past summers many students assumed they did not need to purchase parking permits, Hulte said. A permit is required for parking in all campus lots except those on Dainy Island and summer parking permits cost $20.
Residents of Joseph. R. Pearson Hall, which is the only residence hall
open to KU students during the summer, can purchase a permit for that hall's parking lot for $12.
Twenty-four hour restricted lots
06, are patrolled until 8 p.m. in
the summer, Hutline said. During the
summer, the four lotes 04, are
patrolled until 11 p.m.
Huline said the number of full-time staff employed by the Parking Department stayed the same during the period, but those workers were hired to help patrol the lots.
The parking lot at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall would be renovated this summer, she said. The work would not affect student parking.
Some students have come up with original ways to deal with parking in the summer, such as parking in empty fraternity and sorority lots.
"I just parked in the Fiji parking lot last summer," said Jennifer Carr, Mission Hills senior. "It was free."
