I’m just a concerned citizen with 1500 people reading my content per day and an inbox full of email from freshmen parents. That’s all. Carry on insulting me.

Personally, I don’t see too much of an issue with banning freshmen cars (assuming there are exceptions for extenuating circumstances) but I’d be more than happy to lend my time and support to a legitimately organized group that had clear goals and clear plans of action which addressed the above posters’ concerns. Perhaps someone can make a facebook group about that. I’d suggest by polling some CMCers on how much they would pay for Scripps parking. I’d pay somewhere between $150 and $200, and then send Scripps admin a proposal. If we can get even 100 CMCers to pay that, well, its hard to turn down a free $15-20k in a recession when one’s endowment has shrunken by at least a third or so (last I checked). Thats a full scholarship basically. Better yet, “force” Scripps to open up their lot by creating a scholarship from funds raised from parking fees. I’m sure their alumni base wouldn’t be happy to hear they rejected a full scholarship in order to keep their lot isolated, but Scripps alum are weird about Scripps’ isolationist policies so maybe I’m wrong.
