Wal-mart will begin towing student cars Nathan John Saydyk Staff Writer Wal-Mart will soon start taking action against students who park their cars in the Wal-mart parking lot. Students have been parking their cars in the parking lot of Wal-Mart located south of campus since last Fall and the problem has escalated to a major concern. Their reason for parking there is, in the words of an anonymous student, "I just don't want to buy a parking pass." This seems to be the attitude of most of the students parking at Wal-Mart. "Last year there was only fifty to seventy-five cars," said Joe Beery, Wal-Mart, store manager. "This year if s approaching 150 to 200." Adding to the crowding problem in the parking lot is the fact that there is a McDonald's being built in the dirt where students used to park. Now the students are forced to park on the pavement, against the wishes of the management."W e ha ve tried to be nice about it but people are just not listening," said Beery, "We are going to have to start towing people off."

But students should be warned that the parking lot is private property and Wal-Mart has the right to tow anyone at anytime without warning. Student parking at UVSC is readily available for inexpensive prices. For ten dollars you can purchase a parking pass that will allow you to park on campus anytime.For parking located closer to the school, students must pay more. However, the walk from the ten dollar lot is about equil to the walk from Wal-Mart. For the students who do not want to buy a parking pass, there are alternatives. UTA busses run from approximately six in the morning to ten at night. Monthly passes cost fifteen dollars for students and you don't have to pay for gas. Car pooling is another option for those who live in rural areas where busses are not as convient.
