Don't Let Sunburn Radical Parking Ruin Your Spring Break Changes In The Works you this year. A conservative approach to sunning will assure that your remaining vacation days will be as pleasant as the first. And you can go back to school with a healthy glow instead of an itchy peel. Because Florida Is closer to the equator than many northern states, the ultra vio-
let rays are four times stronger. This can mean you tan four times faster or burn four times faster, depending on your sun-sense. Local skin specialists, lifeguards and sun lotion manufacturers recommend the following By MATT PETERMAN guidelines for Spring As soon as the Avis ConBreakers: struction Company Is ready (Continued on page 2) to begin construction of the new Library, radical parking changes will be enacted. In order for construction to begin, the construction company requires fencing off the Lankford resident and day student parking lots. The lots would close a week before the construction company says it will be ready causing the loss of 183 spaces. The anticipation of the loss of so many spaces has caused Longwood through The Parking Advisory Committee to review all the available spaces on the campus and redistribute them in what to them was deemed the most logical manner. The recommendations of the committee that were subsequently approved by President Dorrlll are as follows: /. The newly constructed lot behind Little Caesars will be designated for resident students (176 spaces). Many college students don't realize just how strong tne sun s rays can be. 2.

Resident Students Lose 225 On-Campus Spaces students and a gain of 24 for faculty/staff. These approved recommendations will push resident students off the campus with the loss of 225 on-campus parking spaces. The loss is maybe greater as visitors and day students will be permitted to park in any space designated for resident stu dents. The overall loss for resident students Is 31. This is considered temporary because new lots on Franklin Street and the expansion of the Wynne lot will be completed for next semester and will more than cover the loss. The parking lot behind Little Caesars will be complete when it is paved. This lot Is on land that was leased for the period of 5 years and is located on Vernon St. It Is lighted and surrounded by a security fence. Concerns over safety are being looked at and include locking the fence up after dark and opening it up In the morning or by special request. It will be equipped with an emergency phone and plans for a police monitored camera are In the works. According to the conclusion of Parking Advisory Committee Report: "It is important to note that these proposed recommendations are intended to address the need for immediate changes given the eminent closing of Lankford lot for the construction of the library. Additional changes will probably occur (Continued on page 6)
