Almost 200 parking tickets issued daily by public saftey
By Victor Lewis
Staff Writer
An average of 180 to 190 parking tickets are issued by West Georgia’s
Public Safety everyday according to Diane Shackleford, manager of
Parking Services.
Students are concerned with the parking problem.
"I have over S6O in tickets on my car because there are not enough
spaces around my dorm. I see cars with commuter stickers in dorm
spaces all the time, " said Kelly Ivester, Boykin Hall resident from
Cartersville.
Shackelford said she has no idea how many parking spaces there are
on the campus, but there are 4,601 registered vehicles on the WGC
campus. She said this is not an accurate count because students trade cars
during the year and may receive
more than one permit.
Anita Stewart and Debbie
McNeil commute from Newnan
everyday and say that they would
like for West Georgia to build a
parking garage. They both agreed
that they would pay a little more
monthly or quarterly

reminds us of the necessity for each
institution to have in place detailed
regulations setting forth clear stan
dards to determine when, where and
how the exercise of speech and other
forms of first amendment expres
sion may be exercised on campus,”
said Henry G. Neal, executive sec
retary of the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia in a
memorandum dated March 29,1991.
The protest activity mentioned in
Neal’s memorandum referred to a
long-term camp-out on the UGA
campus. The school had no policy
governing protest activity and in an
effort to control such activity the
Board of Regents has now required
each campus in the university system
to adopt one.
Dr. Bruce Lyon, vice president of
Student Services, explained that the
purpose of WGC’s policy on free
dom of expression is to protect the
campus and the students from dis
