Self-pay, solar-powered parking
permit dispensers, like the one business econ major Louis Trinidad
is feeding near the Visitors Center, have sprouted across campus.
These machines, which service visitors and anyone else whose vehicle
does not carry a permit to park on campus 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
seven days a week, will accept cash, major credit cards, student
Access cards, and even (with prior set up) cellular phone accounts.
