Parking on campus has a price for students, day or night As of Sept. 25, students will be required to have a parking permit until 9 p.m. lo park in lots marked as 1 5. In the past, the policy for parking in lots marked as 15 were open tostu-dents after 5 p.m. without a permit. However, students will no longer be able to park in the lots without a permit before 9 p.m. KimFort, operations manager for transportation services said the change was necessary but willlake residents on campus into consideration. "There are some variances in the new policy; we are honoring UABres-ident permits after 5 p.m. because we realize they do not want to walk," Fort said The new permit requirements for night lime students will serve as a way to fund the expanded escort service put into effect on Sept 12 "To fund the escort service we had lo increase (he parking permit enforcement," she said. Funding the escort service required transportation services to hire two night time citation employees, cover start up costs of such a program and hire dispatchers. Fort said the department ofcriminal justice willultimately hire and fund the cost for dispatchers but for the time being, transportation services employees will work at night also The change came as a surprise to many night lime students without per-mits. One student who wished to remain anonymous said, "I think this is ridiculous, it's just another way forUABto make money." Fort said they are attempting to inform as many students ofthe change as quickly as they can and will not issue actual citations yet. "We are putting notices on both day lime and night time student's cars without permits for two weeks," Fort said Beginning Sept. 25, students without permits parking in lots marked as 15 between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. can expect to see a $10 citation on the wind-shield. Students that have taken advantage ofthe evening parking without aper-mit willhave to either conform by purchasing a permit or park elsewhere. Fort said, "Regretfully, there was no other way to fund the escort pro-gram, but students really should take advantage of the program." "Ihope students utilize the new escort service. Itis a very popular pro-gram among urban campuses," Fort said Fort, who is also a night time student at UAB,said safety is the primary concern at UABand the escort service can provide safety for night time stu-dents. "We want everyone on campus to feel safe especially because we have lion handbook in the mail within about three weeks a large night time student population, ' she said. Fort said she encourages students who willbe using the escort service to call with suggestions as to how it can be improved or accommodate stu-dents better. Fort said that students and faculty willreceive a revised parking regula- Fort said the new parking regulations will not generate enough funds to completely cover the cost of expanding Ihe escort program "As a campus we have got to provide a safe environment, so the cost is jusl a matter of doing business and providing safely, " Fort said Permits cost $42 or $12 per quarter and can be purchased at transporta-tion services on 8th Street South.

Sloppy to mediocre work and behavior just is not tolerated. Itshould not be toler-ated at UAB.False advertising and mis-leading trash is a quick way to obtain a slcazeball reputation. At25-years-old, UABneeds to stay clear of the sleaze ball factor. Have you ever been invited to a tail-gale party where the hosts fail to show up? Great advertising! While I'm all for progress and innova-tive ways to market UABfootball, itis clear to me that 'ZBZ'has dropped the ball. It's time for SBZ to go golfing and exitUAB.

Gramm was willingto sign the pledge, so he probably picked up the support that Dole lost. The ones that signed the anti-abortion pledge (Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Robert Doman and Richard Luger) have shown so far that they have no trouble getting into bed withthe Christian Coalition. The ones that refused (Arlen Specter, Lamar Alexander and Pete Wilson) have already expressed some reservations about the Coalition. Ifthings work out the way they are now, we may have another Democrat in the White House after all. Because ifa Republican gets the nomi-nation, the Christian Coalition-ers willstay home. Ifa Christian Coalition-er gets the nomination, the Republican willstay home. Neither will get enough votes to win ifthis happens. So much for the "revolution." college can be the time platform. Gramm cheerfully signed it. Dole, although proclaiming his loyalty to the "pro-life cause," refused. As far as political strategy goes, this was probably a good idea. Now ifthe Republicans seem to be pulling ahead. Dole can say that he really didn't like the Christian Coalition-ers and he really is a pro-choice moderate Republican, and going to the convention was just a brain-fart. Since Dole hasn't put his name on any-thing, there willbe no concrete proof that he's fullof it, except some old newspaper clippings. Yet because he ignored their taunts at Being of your life and Phil Gramm seems (o be showing that. It began withthe Iowa straw poll last month, tiramm, perceived as the Religious Right golden boy. and Bob Dole, perceived as more moderate, tied for first place.

What happened to that nice mel-low college band that came out of Athens, Ga? And who is this group of weirdos that appeared in their place Tuesday. Why did Michael Stipe think all 10,000 of us wanted to see his her-nia scar, strategically located beneath his zipper (except for the girl behind me who screamed something about whipped cream, Michael and herself. Too bad, so did the guy beside her)? Despite the relentless fuzz and buzz, there were two or three sal-vageable moments to savor. Radiohead put on an adequate show, although they must have the same sound technician as REM because they were also just plain loud (we're not talking your aver-age concert loud, we're talking jacked to the ceiling.) The movies in the background were kind of cool in a trippy sort of way, and REM managed to finally offer a semblance ofentertainment with a 'like it should be' rendition of "Everybody Hurts" for their first encore. (Although the crowd deserved it, since they had to scream for twenty minutes while Stipe was in the back stroking his ego.)Ishould have saved my money for the monster truck pull instead ofREM's Monster tour.
