  • September 05, 2001 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WESTERN CAROLINIAN McAbee Responds to Parking Problems An open letter to commuting students: First, let me say that I appreciate your patience as we deal with a difficult parking situation on campus this fall. You, the commuting students, will be most affected by the loss of parking spaces as we move forward with construction, renovation and traffic modifications that are included in the university's master plan. This year, the Lower University Center lot (the lower-level parking area behind the UC) is closed as the University Center expand into that lot. Some spaces in the Upper UC lot also may be lost permanently. The total number of commuter spaces lost in that area will be near 100. In addition, commuters are losing 29 spaces in the lot on the south side of the Belk Building as construction begins on the new workforce development center. Any time we are placed in a position where outside forces cause us to change our personal habits, we feel angry and frustrated. And parking — that is, exceptionally convenient parking — is "an American obsession." If you don't believe it, think about how often you see cars riding around the parking lot at Wal-Mart to get a space within a few feet of the front doors when there are plenty of spaces no more than 50 yards away. I sincerely thought that we would go into this year without having any parking to replace the spaces we were losing. But, I am pleased to report that Chancellor John Bardo and Vice Chancellor Chuck Wooten have made some quick provisions to help you. I thank them for providing this assistance to you and for taking off of me some of the pressure of your wrath. But since we are all walking more, we need to come prepared. Umbrellas are a must. High heels are passe. Comfortable walking shoes are in. Got a bicycle? Get a bike carrier and put it on the back of your car (be sure to lock it). We've installed about $5,000 worth of new bike racks around campus this year. Finally, I pledge to you that you will not be alone in this. I intend to increase my own walking and bike riding. There is no need for me or any other faculty or staff member to drive to meetings in areas where we know that we will find no parking spaces. Certainly, I need the exercise since the changes in the parking situation are causing my blood pressure to rise. Once again, I thank all of you in advance for your patience. If you have any questions about how to have parking success as a commuting student at WCU, please give me a call at 227-7301. Gene McAbee Director, University Police and Traffic Services Carolinian Work-Study Positions Available: Assistant News Editor Assistant Features Editor Assistant Sports Editor Staff Writers (for all sections) Office Assistant Distribution Contact Financial Aid for betails AT Matthen Every now and then a very special person walks quietly among us on this ily a person who is everything to everyone. rig us for the past twenty and a half years and the reality that he is gone. Yes Matthew e individual. He walked softly and did very pon us. That is why it is so hard to deal with lite fact that he has chosen to leave us. We are left with this gaping hole that hurts so bad we cry and cry and it just doesn't go away. Yet, we know that it was his time to move on to the next level of existence, we cry. We arc sad. We want him back. We want to say so main things to him. but we can't. We can only say them to ourselves and to others and hope that he is listening. It has been just one week since the change was made. We question why. Why so young? Why on the lake? Why'.' Why.' Why'' But there are no answers. There is only the pain of know ing someone we care tor has left us. We bear the sorrow of grief in this passing. We have pain so deep it hurts to even try to question why. All we want is Matt back. We want to go over to his house and chill: hack a bit; listen to good tunes, we want to debate philosophical issues with him. We want our friend back. But we cannot have this. What we have is each special moment we have shared with him. And of those there are many. Those of us that knew Matt just before he made the transition knew him for not much more than four years. 1 le cam to ns by way of Racine. Wisconsin with his Mum and Dad. We are so grateful to his parents for allowing our paths to cross, for they are the ones that made that transition. Matt hung out with us alter school, in between classes, and at nights. He played bass like a pro. always encouraging others to do the same. Matt hung out and played and laughed and studied. He did it all. He was an honors student and took it seriously. A teacher commented that he never missed a class which is quite out of the ordinary in college! What a guy!! Matt had hopes and dreams. He had wishes and desires. Many of us know what these were. Many of us wonder why he didn't stay around to fulfill them. We want to do those things we talked about doing. But we can't. We have to go on now without him. It won't be easy. It will be hard. We are so used to sliding by Malt's on the way in and out of town. We go by and he's not there. Friends are instead, surrounding themselves with each other to try and get through this difficult time. We honor Matt with out words and deeds. We thank him for walking this way to touch us, to touch us so deeply that we don't think we can go on without him. But we will. He may not be standing next to us on this physical plane we inhabit, but he is with us. And we will always hold those special thoughts and memories of times shared very close to heart. Matthew Klonkowski. friend and loved tine, good-bye and good luck on your journey through this celestial plane of life. Adieu. Your friends.
