Guarantees in life: Death, taxes, and no parking

A common topic amongst students is the situation of parking. It happens at the beginning of every semester. People convene in the quad with their cigarettes and coffee and perform amateur debate about the best times to arrive in each lot. It is a time-honored tradition of the Chaffey campus.

This year, things are different. Students are going crazy looking for a place to put their car. Places that were OK to park last year are now illegal. Tickets are being handed out here and there. Gorillas with Tommy-guns are causing havoc. That last one is a stretch, but you get the idea.

The Governing Board heard our cries and responded. Touching on the matter, students were told that issues with parking are caused by laziness. To make an example, the Governing Board had the school refuse access to the quarter-pay parking on Jan. 28 so that they would have a guaranteed spot while in session. This taught students the value of claiming a spot early. Parents and new students without permits had a chance to learn as well because they probably did not know that there is additional pay parking east of the cafeteria.

Rest easy. The circus of finding a parking spot will still exist for a while.
