DearMr.Oaik,
By Steve Rush j
Bull
I am acommuter student atMercyhurstCollege and I 'd like to address a few problems with thepresentparkins
arrangements. i
First, unless you have an 8:15 a.m. class, don't expect to find a parking place on campus.
Second, the construction that is going on is a big hasde. I realize during construction there are going to be
a few inconveniences. What I cannot understand is putting dirt in.ar>arldng lot and maldng it look like a miniature
mountain. M
The parking was congested before they decided to fill parking lot number seven (located off Briggs Ave.]
with the fill dirt taken from the addition being put on to Zurn. 2*
I heard that prior to the start of the construction, President Garvey said there would be no inconveniences
Well I am sorry to say there are many inconveniences to those ofus who com mute. IfDr. Garveyfindsno problerr
with parking it's understandable, he has a reserved parking space on campus.
I think it is time to remove some of that lovely grass and replace it with asphalt for more parking on campus
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Church M
