Trvina to find a parking space?
CBC warning crackdown on illegal parking
By MICHAEL CONNORS
Most students will tell
you that finding a parking
space on or near campus
during the day is virtually
impossible. With restrictions in obtaining permits
and only a limited number
of spaces available, many
have had to find alternatives.
One of those is the parking lot of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation
(CBC) building on Prince
Philip Drive. So many students have been parking
there that many CBC employees havebeen shut out
of what is supposed to be a
private lot.
"We have staff coming in
on some days and they
can't find a space," said a
CBC spokesman. "At some
times during the day, almost 90 percent of the
parking space is taken up
by the students. We're
pretty lenient in the
evening when none of the
staff are around, but during the day, we can't be."
The problem was raised
by the CBC's Engineering
Department who are responsible for the grounds
around the building. The
Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) has been

ticketing illegally parked
cars on a regular basis recently, and at $25 a ticket,
some cars have been ticketed up to 20 times.
"[The CBC] came to the
council to get the word out
that they are enforcing
this," said Darrell Hynes,
V.P. Academic, Council of
the Students' Union
(CSU). "People think that
these are CBC tickets
when they're not, and
they're going to face maior
problems when they go to
get their licenses renewed."
The parking lot is clearly
marked by signs saying
that it is restricted to CBC
employees only, but students for the most part
seem to be ignoring this.
'The Regional Engineering Department is asking
that students not use the
parking space or they're
going to start towing,"said
the   CBC   spokesman.
"Some of them are even
obtainingparkingpermits
and we don't know how
they're doing it. Some of
them have been expired
for years."
As for student reaction,
there hasn't been any so
far.
"I haven't received any
complaints from students
yet," said Hynes. "But I
think this shows the crisis
that this University is fac-
ine in Darking."
