They may not be the rooftops next to Wrigley Field, but parking spots Student Senate members hope will be reassigned may give Eastern students the best seat in the house when it comes to softball games.

In a student relations meeting Tuesday evening, members of the Student Senate announced plans in a continuing effort to work with faculty and staff in order to ease parking woes.

The spots in question are 36 spaces in the Stevenson lot, facing the softball field, currently assigned as staff parking.

Donna Fernandez, chair of the Student Senate Relations Committee, displayed data in charts and percentages illustrating spaces which remain fairly empty throughout the week.

Between April 1 and April 5, Senate members took pictures of the row of parking spaces along the softball field and the spaces along Fourth street in the Coleman Hall lot, which are staff parking spaces.

The study concluded an average of over half the 36 spots along the softball field, and one-third of the 30 spaces along Fourth street, remained empty between the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Senate members said staff who park along the softball field can use the open spots along Fourth Street as well other open spots closer to Lantz Arena, should the Senate proposal for the softball row go in favor of the student body.

Fernandez said one complaint of the faculty is where faculty members who use the spots will park.

“I am going to make a formal presentation to the faculty,” she said. “I have no problem with staff having spots, but if those spaces are not being used they should be used for students.”
