The Faculty guys I knew were issued ticket after ticket by parking and security at USD--and they refused to pay the tickets--and called the security staff a bunch of goons. It was quite a big mess and eventually those faculty members (some big names in the Anthro Dept) left when the provost of something like that threatened to with hold there wages, or some ridiculous thing like that. It was reported that most of the students lived less than a mile from campus and drove in to class. <BR/><BR/>Of course I biked everywhere, in all kinds of weather--sidewalks and streets were always plowed--never used my car at all. <BR/><BR/>I mean, a traffic jam in Vermillion?
