New parking rules
Administration seeks changes
to accommodate shop patrons
By Ann Farmer and Hal Hawaii
The parking times have changed at the Russell House, as t
returning students used to parking all day in the area have pro- J
bably already discovered.
The meters in the lot between the Russell House and the
reflection pond have changed from a five-hour limit to halfhour
and hour limits.
The change came because the lot has not been achieving
enough turnover, Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis |
Pruitt said. |
SOME STAJFF members and commuting students were
parking in the lot all day and only had to feed the meters ^
twice, which was a disadvantage to anyone wanting to stop at
Russell House for a short while, Pruitt said. Better turnover
may reduce illegal parking in handicapped spaces, as well as
prevent double and triple parking on busy days, he added.
Pruitt said many of the 'campers' are employees. One day,
seven cars with employee stickers were in the lot, he said.
More turnover will better service commuter students and i
guests by giving them quick access to the student union, he t
said. A study several years ago showed that 20,000 people
went through the Russell House each day. The convenience
shops scheduled to open in the basement next month may in- ]
crease that number.
Concern about commuter students was a factor in the
change, he said.
"WE HAVE- only six to seven thousand resident students.
We don't tend to the needs of the commuter students as well as ,
we tend to the needs of resident hall students," Pruitt said.

agreed.
"(Commuters') use of Russell House has been limited
because they can't get to it. They would use it more if there
were more access," she said.
Parking has always caused problems for commuting
students, Broadway said, but Pruitt said he doesn't think tjie
meter change will cause more.
"PEOPLE WILL say there's not plenty of parking at IJSC.
I dispute that. There's plenty of parking, just not next to the
huilHino fctnHpntO want to so to." he said.
Students should park at places like Bates West and the colThey

Spaces along the wall of the Russell House have half-hour
meters except for three handicapped spaces, which are
unmetered. The others have hour meters.
Tickets are handed out until 6 p.m., however the time may
be extended after the shops open, Pruitt said.
METER VIOLATIONS cost $2, but the price may increase
if students ignore the change, Pruitt said, and keep going up
until they stop ignoring it.
