Police, landlords
to treat weekend
like all others
by WENDY GENZER
HfE Staff Writer	
Most apartment complex
owners and the police say they
will treat this weekend like any
other, despite the large number of
people expected in town for
Western Weekend.
CMU hosts Western Michigan
University in football at Kelly/
Shorts Stadium at 1 p.m.
Saturday. The game against rival
WMU traditionally draws a large
crowd, many of whom come from
out of town.
Only one complex contacted is
Issuing special passes for
residents and guests in anticipation of large groups of people.
Roxann Bittner, manager of The
Forum, 950 Appian Way, said
residents will need a pass to get on
the complex's property this
weekend.
She added each resident will be
allowed two guest passes and
anyone not displaying one will be
asked to leave.
"We're doing it to protect our
property,'* she said ""I don't see it
as an infringement on their rights.
because it snys in the lease
management has the right to
restrict guests at certain times of
the year."

Officials: Ending
parking lot won't
by WENDY GENZER
LIFE Staff Writer
Closing a campus parking lot to customers
who buy passes each day probably won't cause* a
revenue loss for the University, according to
CMU officials.
Effective Wednesday. Lot 22, located near
Anspach Hall, will only be available to vehicles
displaying A. C and F parking decals. In the past,
the lot was open to drivers with parking passes
and anyone who wanted to purchase a daily
75-cent pass.
Thomas Repp, assistant vice president for
Financial AlTairs, said the rule was discussed at
President's Council meetings. He said he doesn't
think the change will have a great affect on the
amount of money brought in because "people will
still want to park their cars somewhere."
A Department of Public Safety spokesman said
daily fee at one
cause money loss
because of over-crowding this year, the rule had
to be changed.
*As anyone who has tried to park (in Lot 221
knows, it's often difficult to find a parking space."
Capt. Ron Williams said. The new rule should
help alleviate the problem."
DPS Director John McAulifTe said during a
10-day period — Sept. 21 to Oct. 2 — commuters
purchasing daily parking passes spent $2,189.23.
He attributed the uneven amount to human
error.
McAuliffe added an average of 218 cars
purchased passes each day during that period.
Repp said the money brought in was transferred to a parking income account that funds the
campus parking program.
"It pays for paving the parking lots and things
like that." he said.
