In the Feb. 9th issue of The Northern Star, there is an article concerning parking changes. The three lots that graduate students SHARE with staff/faculty will be changed to staff/faculty only and grad students will be given yellow permits.

The new tax law is costing the average graduate student $400-700 in NEW taxes. We can’t do much about that, BUT WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

Write the parking committee and demand that we keep our green permits or, better yet, since we are being taxed as if we were staff/faculty, GIVE US BLUE STICKERS!

In the four years that I have been here, I have noticed that the grad. students tend not to get involved. Well, it’s time to change that. Don’t sit on your hands—DO SOMETHING!
