Ha ha, he got THE BOOT

Some Dartmouth kid wrote an op-ed today complaining about parking at Dartmouth.

My first experience with the parking dictators occurred when I was unloading my car and moving into my dorm room as a sophomore. In no less than 20 minutes, I was given a $50 ticket by Parking Operations. Fortunately, I was planning to park in the town parking garage and could avoid paying the ticket by not registering my car with the school. This game continued throughout my sophomore year, as I did everything I could to avoid receiving more tickets from the College.

Fast forward to Sophomore Summer. I was paying $200 to park at a fraternity halfway across campus because the best Dartmouth could offer its students was an open lot two-thirds of a mile from the Green. I had built up about $200 in parking fines over the past few terms -- keep in mind that's only four parking tickets -- and had driven my car to the Tucker Foundation to pick up mentors so that we could drive to our program in West Lebanon. You can imagine my surprise when, after being inside the building for less than 10 minutes, I came out to find my car booted in the visitor's parking spot.

Translation: I am not sly enough to park on campus without getting dinged repeatedly for parking violations. Also, a 10-minute walk to get my car is OH SO TERRIBLY HEINOUS WHAT A CRIME AGAINST OVERPRIVILEGED WHINERS EVERYWHERE.

Now. I definitely got 2 parking tickets over 4 years at school, both for parking in the Mid-Mass lot. Never got The Boot. Never registered my car, as I lived off campus and parked at my house. I'll agree that Dartmouth's parking policies are a little bit ridiculous, but whinging about it without seeming to have put a moment's thought into why the parking situation might be as it is (and there are good reasons, as anyone who has spoken to College employees knows) sure makes somebody look like an idiot.

Comments

While I do understand the reasons why the parking situation sucks on campus from the administration's side, it's still something I'm pissed about when I think of it. The gist of my issue is that the system rewards students for being members in certain greek organizations that happen to have sufficient parking (phi delt, sig ep, CHI GAM, HEOROT, AD...do these groups need rewards?) AND the students who aren't members of these organizations but do have a few hundred a term to lay out for convenient parking. For those of us unaffiliated folks who lived on campus and didn't want to spend more than the $20 for a-lot, it just didn't seem fair.

You know, I'd never thought about it that way, that the Greeks are privileged for their parking. But that's a good point.

Making brooking to save oecumenical propensity to consolidation in well-deserved untouched measure, idiolect

This conclusion leads us that there is elephantine commotion in spleen of English-speaking tutors, who are specializing in teaching English. South Korea is a express of most staunch countries in terms of gonorrhoeal punt upward of the traces, which means teaching English in Korea would be lustily profitable.

I've been ripping songs off of videos using video2mp3 for a really long while and then a week ago, I got a computer virus--but I don't think it was from ripping but could it be? Also, if the songs are already on my iPod, does the iPod retain the virus as well yet is just unaffected by the virus? I saved all my music files on a flash drive before I reformatted my computer and I haven't installed any anti virus software yet--should I reload all my files or no?
