Cablevision 10. This week's
program is a second showing of
a study and discussion of
artwork produced by inmates
in the City Jail, and deals with
the continued need for art
classes in the jail.

With the cooperation of the
jail staff and the

Offender Aid and Restoration
(OAR) program, Mr.
Markowski has been
conducting art classes for
interested inmates and has
found "very positive support
from his in-jail students, whose
work and enthusiasm reflect
the worth of the art instruction
program,"according to an OAR
release.

The program will be shown
tonight at 8:30. There may
also be a July 30 showing at 9
p.m.

Art supplies of all sorts are
needed for the jail classes. For
more information about the
classes, interested persons
should contact the OAR office

at the University art
department.

City Parking

Reversing a previously
sporadic enforcement pattern,
the City of Charlottesville is
now stringently enforcing all
parking regulations within its
boundaries. Tickets are being
issued for illegal parking or
overtime parking and cars will
be towed from those areas
designated as "Towing" zones.
Where tickets are issued and no
response is received, a
summons will be issued by the
General District Court of the
City of Charlottesville. If an
appearance is not made by the
recipient of the summons, then
a warrant will be issued for
failure to appear as ordered by
the summons. Students are
advised to heed posted parking
regulations.
