Parking Pathos

I find myself in complete agreement
with Dean Runk concerning
the prohibition on mobile
parking on the Grounds. However,
I feel this way for much different
reasons. I was under the
impression that the standards of
conduct were higher at the University
of Virginia than at similar
institutions. Apparently I was
wrong. Tuesday night vandals for
the third time this school year
damaged my automobile while it
was on University property.

In the nine years that I have
been driving an automobile, I have
traveled to most parts of the United
States and never once been a victim
of vandalism. It is only since
I have been at the University that
I have incurred such damage.

I would hope that appropriate
measures could be taken to protect
private property on the
Grounds.
