Tata and Barnard fbll flraa.hmen who
hava ean on campus received news Friday
. that could make tham and their feet eore.
Department of Publk Safety officiala
tafa-tned a.bottt 24 freahman overcrowded
raaideaea haH parking lota meant they
"would have to parte tiieu* can in Lot 62,
bear Rose Atsiul
'. Thar* are no mora availalale spaces in
any residence hall lota, DPS Cpt. Ron
WiHiama aaid, adding anyone who purchases a residence hall pa.ridng permit now
■ahll hava to park in the approximate
606-space Lot 62.
"We've reached capacity in dorm lots,*
WiHiama aaid.
Williama .added ha could not aay exactly
how many freshmen permits were rec-alled
and replaced wtth a aticker allowing them
to park near Roee Arena, but most of them
wars Tate or Barnard hall residents. All
Tata and Barnard freshmen with cars
wars affected, Williams said.
Williams aaid overcrowding affects
mainly Tata and Barnard Hall lots,
because those lota are small and many
residents have cars.
Because freshmen are not supposed to
have cars on campus, except in special
circumstances, Williams uid the department ia concentrating on freshmen.
Typically, freshmen are not allowed to
park their can on campus, but they sre
given permission by the Office of Student
Life to purchase a permit," Williams said.
The Office of Student Life grants
freshmen permission to park their vehicles
on campus if they show a strong need —
"Wewiltdo
whatever h
reasonable and
fair to aotve
thet problem."
—Ron Williams,
DPS captain
such aa traveling to work or because they
have a disability.
Approximately 600 freshmen have
received permission to parte on campus.
This number, Williams said, adds to tha
overcrowding problem.
"Thia is ona of the contributing factors to
the overcrowding conditions in certain
areas," Williams said.
He added thia solution is not intended to
single out freshmen for punishment.
"We want to aolve a problem. We will do
whatever is reasonable'and fair to solve
that problem," Williams said.
Williams said having freshmen move to
Lot 62 did not end the overcrowding
problem, "but it .helped," he said.
He said more people have can on
campus this year than in the past, which is
causing the overcrowding that often
overflows in the lot adjacent to Rowe HalL
"We had a problem (with overcrowding)
earlier in the semester, but it seems to
have gotten worse after spring break," she
uid.
More students brought cars up after
spring break, Williams said, which also
contributes to the problem, he said.

Program Board battles roadblocks,

Eddie   Money   and   the
headline-concert acts at
Promoters   mentioned
Beastie Boys as possible
Rose Arena this semester.
But that's all it was — talk. The performers never
made it to Mount Pleasant.
With five weeks left in the semester. Program
Board officials say they are not anticipating booking
a major concert here.
"(A promoter) called and told us Eddie Money was
free and they would call back, but they didn't," PB
concert coordinator Cara Stern said. "When we
called them they said he wasn't free anymore."
Effort fails to unseat faculty union
"(The Beastie Boys) was suggested by Brass Ring
(a Detroit concert promotion firm),* Stern, West
Bloomfield junior, added, "but it never got any more
serious than that."
Financial problems, limited seating capacity of
on-campus venues and organizational problems
have prevented acts like Night Ranger — who
performed Nov. 6, 1985 in the last Rose Arena .rock
concert — from coming to CMU.
PB, which sets up concerts at CMU through
various promoters, claims its dependency on promoters has, in part, led to the organization's failure to
host an '86-'87 concert at the 5,500-seat Rose .Arena.

A petition to eliminate CMUs
faculty union was seven signatures short, but organizen say
they will try again.
"What to do with it? We're not
going to abandon it," said David
Schock, assistant professor of
broadcast and cinematic arts.
To file a petition calling for a
decertification   vote   of CMUs
Faculty Association, signatures
from 30 percent of the bargaining
unit, including union and
non-union members, were needed
before the "window period" ended
Monday.
Window periods occur at the
end of the contract — and after
the window closes, the union can
not be decertified. CMU usually
negotiates three-year contracts.
FA President Edward McKenna
said he is relieved because an
election  would  have been  time-
consuming. Now, that time will be
devoted to preparing for
bargaining.
"I think everybody ia relieved on
our side," said McKenna,
professor of sociology, anthropology and social work. "But not
necessarily that we were worried
that we would lose the election."
Schock said he, and biology
professors James Gillingham and
Raymond Hampton, started
seeking signatures the week
before spring break, which did not
allow enough time. He said they
did not actively look for signers
during vacation or the week after,
so the campaign only lasted about
a week.
But getting approximately 28
percent of the bargaining unit to
sign the petitions in one week
shows the cause has support,
Schock said. He said they plan to
investigate independent unions at
.other schools .and learn how they

Date set to issue permanent injunction
BY MARCIA McDONALD
LIFE SUM Writer
The judge who decided in favor of a permanent injunction on "End
of the World" parties is expected to issue the order Monday.
Judge Paul J. Clulo, Midland Circuit Court judge acting on
assignment in Isabella County, issued a written opinion Friday
reaffirming hia Feb. 16 trial decision to issue a permanent injunction.
Tha Isabella County Prosecutor's Office received a copy of the
opinion  Monday  and  Prosecutor  Joseph  Barberi  examined  the
document Tuesday.
The permanent injunction is expected to be issued Monday and will
declare as "a public nuisance" the spring post-exam Main Street party,
Clulo wrote in the opinion.
The "End of the World Party* is harmful to public health, creates an
interference with travel on the public rights of way, affects public
morals, and prevents the peaceful use by the public of their public
streets. The *End of the World Party* is found by the court to be a
public nuisance," Clulo wrote.
