LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Abstract:
Dear Editor:

This letter is directed to all Kent State students.

Does anyone else have problems with the Parking Services? We all know that the buses on campus are overcrowded and unreliable, so many of us choose to drive. Unfortunately, anyone who has tried to park on campus on a rainy or snowy day has to have discovered that parking on campus is sorely lacking....

Could it be that the buses are overcrowded because people are too lazy to walk? If you think about it, you can get to your destination faster by walking, than waiting for and riding the bus. Don't believe me? Try it.

Problems finding a parking spot before class? Don't come 5 minutes before class starts expecting to find a decent spot. Why don't you try leaving earlier and blame yourself instead of others.

Oh wait, blaming others IS the American way.

While parking on campus has been horrible for the past 5+ years, Andrew has a point.

Parking is bad on campus, but not for the reasons you stated. This article sounds more like an AIM away message rant than a newspaper piece.

Right on, Andrew. There is no reason that a healthy student can't make it from any one corner of campus to the furthest corner in approximately 15 minutes. I did it as a student and, when I taught, I never accepted a late excuse of "I was waiting for a bus."

Your generation is the average person overweight generation, the generation of rising numbers of Type II diabetes, the generation who expects classes to be cancelled because it's just too cold to be outside or you have to trudge through some snow. Walk now while you can do it with ease, since your lazy, unhealthy habits now will make it difficult for you to walk with ease when the repercussions of too much weight and diabetic neuropathy set in when you become middle aged.

Perhaps the US should reinstate the draft so that you students can have something legitimate to constantly piss and moan about.

Odds are you probably checked lots you don't even have a pass for, and had you found a spot, would have been bitching about your ticket..
