PARKING
continued from page 9B
Despite the low percentage of stu
dents who drive to campus, parking
still presents a problem. Those who get
"creative with parking" and don't pay
receive anywhere from 24,000 to
40.000 parking citations per year,
Stamm said. When more people drive,
DPS tends to hand out more tickets,
he said. After a person receives five un
paid tickets, DPS officers have the op
tion of booting a car. If the car presents
a safety hazard, it will be towed.
DPS tends to issue anywhere from
6.000 to 7,000 parking permits per
school year, including term, year,
month, construction, car and motorcy
cle permits, Stamm said. Fall daytime
permits for students cost $91, while day
time faculty permits are $ 162. Students
who want one of 400 available
overnight permits must shell out $89 on
top of the $91 daytime fee Permits can
be purchased through the DPS office
Getting a permit, however, doesn't
guarantee that a would-be parker will
find a spot.
There are some 3,300 metered and
lot spots controlled by the University,
Stamm said.
But what about free parking? Well,
it simply doesn't exist. By state law,
only volunteers donating their time
and efforts to the University are
entitled to free parking, Stamm said.
Despite the parking situation, relief
may be on the way for those reluctant
to give up driving to campus.
A parking structure is being dis
cussed that would expand on-cam
pus parking. DPS is discussing a park
ing structure for campus that would
most likely be funded through the
sale of 30-year bonds, Stamm said.
But parking structures are not
cheap, costing anywhere from $8,000
to $15,000 per parking space for an
above-ground structure. A parking
structure was nearly built in 1988 that
would have added 300 spaces, but the
project failed because of lack of sup
port from neighbors and those at the
University. Bonds totaling $3 million
were taken out for that project, and the
money was used to construct about
300 spaces elsewhere on campus.
This time around, there are no op
tions for creating more parking other
than a structure, Stamm said.
"If we want any more parking, the
only option we have is to go up,"
Stamm said.

PILOT
continued from page IB
said 95 percent of pilots in the sky to
day have at least a bachelor's degree.
For this reason, LCC has an agree
ment with both the University and
Oregon State University so that stu
dents training at LCC can receive a
bachelor's degree at the same time.
Steinhauer, along with LCC
students, is enrolled at the University.
Steinhauer said that in working to
ward a degree in finance, his ultimate
goal is to own and fly for a company of
his own.
However, concurrent enrollment
does get challenging. Between flying
at the airport and classes at the Uni
versity, Steinhauer averages at least 20
credits per term.
But discouragement is not part of
the process.
"They say that the sky is the limit,"
he said, "And it really is."
