The number of parking
permits sold to students will most likely decrease in the spring
semester due to several on-campus construction projects, said Barry
D. Sauls, director of the University Parking and Traffic Department.
The new library project, which is expected to
begin construction in March 2003, and the Turchin Center project,
already underway, is leaving the east side of campus depleted of
parking areas.

Each individual residence
hall elected a Resident Student Associaton (RSA) president and officers
for the executive board during Campus Resident Students Association
(CRSA) elections last week.
The general duties of each RSA president is to
run both the general and executive board meetings each week, go
to a monthly roundtable with the Vice President of Leadership for
CRSA Julie A. Glover, and delegate tasks and establish goals of
the RSA, said senior Brian A. Merritt, National Communications coordinator
of CRSA.
“The main purpose of RSA is to build a real
good community within the halls,” said Merritt. He said he
would like to see active participation from all 18 halls, for everyone
to get involved with Homecoming activities, and that buildings with
geographic proximity to each other (such as Gardner and Coltrane
Halls) would join up with one another for programs.

The Boone Police Department
will be issuing citations to vehicles blocking intersections beginning
Oct. 1.
“When people become impatient and start coming
through the intersections, they continue to come on through, even
though there’s obviously not enough room for them to clear
the intersections. Therefore it blocks all of the other lanes of
traffic so everybody’s backed up,” said Officer Rebecca
J. Tomlinson of the Town of Boone Police Department.
