Jewel Lancaster, tutor by the director of the program, Sheila Williams. Lancaster points out that at many times the computer lab at BTC, room 108, opens earlier, and though at many times there are classes in the lab during the evening, when space allows, students are welcome.

"So many students don't register (their vehicles) and it doesn't even cost anything. 11 Kruse further explains that it only takes a phone call to void an unnecessary ticket.
