December 16,1987 ae Page 2 Editorial WHERE TO PARK IT? Some of us at ACC feel that the distance between our student parking lot and VLH are a great length apart. When an anonymous ACC student was asked what she thought about our parking arrangements, she replied that "they stink." “We are the ones paying the tuition. It is not fair that we park across the street while the teachers park right outside the door.” She is not the only student that feels this way. There are other students that feel it is not only a long walk but a dangerous one since they have to cross a semi-busy street. When comparing ACC's parking situation to that of Ferris State University's, it was discovered that they have more parking problems than we do. They have to pay a $24 parking fee just to have their cars On Thursday, November 4 the ‘Law Enforcement Club went on a field trip ‘to"the=Huron.

After, they went to W. J. Maxi's Juvenile Training School. "Everything went well,” Ron Hall , Club President stated. There were no problems at all inside the facilities. It was a good experience for all and probably "shocked" a few of the students as to what actually happens and what it is like at these facilities, where Michigan spends approximately $145 per day- per prisoner on upkeep. Offered at these prisons are such recreational and lifestyle facilities as tennis, a gymnasium, a basketbali court, and total schooling: a prisoner could actually get a master's degree while “Michigan, in Hall's opinion, has very good si February of March of 1988.

The first offense for parking in the faculty lot is a $5 fine. * At ACC, there is no parking fee. Our first offense is only a warning and our second offense is a $2 ticket. There is not any street to cross when going from NRC to BTC. The only time you cross a street is going to and from VLH, and the speed limit on Johnson Street is 30mph for the student's protection. So maybe we do not have it so rough. Next time you get a warning for parking in a "wrong Spot", think of the students at Ferris getting a $5 fine for doing As far as crossing Johnson Steet goes, we are all age 18 or older.

My next class isn't for 3 hours and I live one hour away so T can't just go home and come back later." reports one student. Another says "I was amazed when I took my first class at North Campus. At South Campus you're called if a class is canceled Why not? This is not the opinion of just these two students either. Those students who drive long distances for classes here are all of the same opinion: "Why can't we be notified before the class that it has been canceled? Why do they just post it on a wall or two and that's it"? Some students come for one class, only to find that it has been canceled.

The contest is designed to generate excitement and help liven up the campus. There will be specific rules set for the clubs to follow,. and all materials will be supplied. The objective is for each club to design a creative picture and or saying pertaining to their club. The designs created will be painted on garbage cans. ‘The creatively designed garbage cans will be judged by an outstanding judging committee. All clubs interested can pick up a copy of the rules at the Student Senate office. All clubs are strongly encouraged to participate in the contest. It will be lots of fun and very interesting to see how creative each club can be. Notice-Class Bs SERGE Cancellations a class is canceled before taking kids to a sitter, than taking them to a sitter, then going to school, finding out a class is canceled, then having. to go back to pick up the kids and having to pay the sitter anyway. "Why do they cancel classes? The college I just transferred from doesn't cancel classes. If the instructor is ill or unable to come. to class someone else is found to teach his class instead of cancelling. We've paid tuition to attend a certain number of classes and when they cancel, you lose part of the time you've paid for." said another student. : Some students feel that one way to. take care of the problem is to have the radio. Others feel that a Telephone Chain would be effective, with the instructor calling three of four students and those students calling two more students and on down the line. This would be a pyramid effect with each student being notified at least twice so the chain would be difficult to break. == = Pea 7 | { Jan. 1-12 and Jan. 13-22. Early Registration Get On It!
