bethlehem city council has passed an ordinance enabling the bethlehem parking authority to establish a parking permit program which would throw another obstacle at the lehigh parking crisis the ordinance specifies that park ing permits will be issued only to owners of motor vehicles registered at an address in a designated residential area this presents a problem for lehigh students living off campus since their vehicles are generally registered at their permanent address rather than their school address hugh morrison parking authority solicitor explained the ordinance pro vides a maximum of two permits per residence for students whose vehicles are not registered at the address even apartment buildings that house stu dents such as lehigh towers would be limited to two permits per building students living on campus would not be entitled to any permits morrison claimed the ordinance benefits students rather than discrim inates against them all the other ordinances we have read have not made any provisions for cars not registered at the address he said students will just have to decide among themselves which two cars are most important morrison said junior caryn rubinstein an off campus resident whose housemates have four cars said that there was no parking problem on her street we really don't have any trouble she said but i know the parking permit program is going to cause a fight in our house barbara kreppel director of auxili ary services felt that off-campus leh igh students had two options accord ing to kreppel they could decide among themselves which cars were really necessary or they could talk to their landlords about the problem landlords should be willing to con vert backyards into parking spaces for residents where possible kreppel said because doing so will improve the property's value since parking spots will be in high demand in that case landlords would most likely raise tenant's rent kreppel said as for lehigh tower residents krep pel suggested they use the parking lot originally designed for them the lot is two blocks north on the other side of the railroad tracks said senior andrew shane it's inconvenient and not everyone from lehigh towers can saw photo by jm kolb6ho just a few of the cars lining the streets around lehigh's campus see permits page 2 what's inside guardian angels grace the brown and white
