Students who were billed for one or two parking tickets, with few exceptions, will not have to pay for them. Student accounts will be credited if the student has already paid for the tickets. By DEBBIE MORGAN Hurricane News Editor • The new University of Miami parking code officially becomes effective today. However, the administration said that since the new extended warning period idea of two free tickets was announced earlier, the free tickets will include tickets given during the entire fall semester. Therefore, two parking tickets received on campus during this semester will not have to be paid unless the tickets were given for blocking fire lanes, creating a safety hazard, which includes driving across undesignated areas, and unauthorized parking in disabled or reserved spaces. These first two tickets are also unappealable, since the purpose of the extended warning period is to limit the number of appeals, according to Paul Dee. UM’s general counsel. There will be two excused violations given each academic year. "Both the University and the student get a reprieve,” he said. “It's as if the ticket was not given." Students who have received UM account bills which included parking fines will not have to pay for two of the parking tickets as charged. However. students must pay the remainder of the debt owed to the University. Students who have already paid the fine for one or two parking tickets that were assessed on the bill will be credited, according to bursar Al Mathews. Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs, said new payment notices will be issued when the computers are updated to account for the two free parking tickets. “Going back to September will be confusing," said Joe Frechette, director of UM's Department of Public Safety, in reference to his computers. “There may be some dragging of feet, but it will get straightened out.” One reason for the delay in the implementation of the new parking code was the question of whether the two free tickets would be appealable. Frechette said some of his employees were stopping work to print on the new code pamphlets that the first two tickets were not appealable in an attempt to clarify the matter. Also, the new appeals committee for the code has only recently been approved by Provost Luis Glaser. The committee will include Robert Fuerst, director of academic services and representative of the administration; Dr. Leonard Carrier, a philosophy professor and representative of the faculty; and William Barzee, speaker pro tempore of the Undergraduate Student Body Government senate, who will represent the students. The committee has already met once. It will no* meet again until after Thanksgiving to start looking into the appeals. Frechette said another major change in the code, besides the two free, unappealable tickets, is that University employees may park in any lot. "Parking will get worse because faculty and employees can park anywhere." he said. “I don't know what effect this will have on commuter parking." He said the code will not really change ticketing but will allow for more towing. Frechette also added that the two shuttle buses that run from lot 600 to campus help to relieve the parking problem, especially in the peak morning hours. The shuttles run every 15 minutes from lot 600, in which spaces are available and all decals are permitted. Copies of the new code will be mailed to students who live on campus. Additional copies of the code can be picked up at the Ashe Building, the University Center Information Desk, Public Safety, the Help Desk at the Ungar Computer Center, the Hecht Athletic Center and the Richter Library.

Swager said the UM department of residence halls was following up on the fire by replacing the doors that lead from each apartment to the roof. “We are replacing all doors to the roofs, so students should have no access to those roofs," Swager said. Jim Shaw, one of the firefighters on the scene, said the roof was not badly damaged. He also said the wooden roof, which is covered ‘We are replacing all doors to the roofs, so students should have no ACCOM to tWa root».’ Smrah Bwscn. apartment area resident coordinator with tar, could burn quickly.

During a tour by two Undergraduate Student Body Government senators on Nov. 12, a large number of roaches were found in various areas of the Hurricane and Ibis cafeterias.

Care Pest Control could not get into the building to exterminate. According to George Alonso, quality control supervisor for Care Pest Control, the cafeterias had not been sprayed for three weeks because of the lock changes. Alonso said that for this amount of time, a "normal situation was found." He added that the building should be exterminated at least once every two weeks. Choate said that he went to the cafeteria to investigate the problem on Nov. 14 with Efren Gort, director of operations of UDS. “We saw a few roaches, and that's when we called the exterminators," Choate said.
