The return of students to the University for Fall Semester is often symbolized by congested roads and rising tensions as students and parents quickly attempt to haul clothes, crates and computers from crammed cars to dorms.

But with additional help from the University, craziness wasn't always the case.

One parent said moving in was "10 times better" this fall than last. Ed Jones, who moved his daughter Kara in Sunday, said University Police Services Student Auxiliary members were very helpful.

"They let us park in some restricted and temporary areas this year," Jones said. "They took some of our questions, or angry comments, in consideration."

Dwight Smith, University police supervisor, said University police made no major changes this year, but added that the Eisenhower Parking Garage was a big contributor to relieving traffic congestion.

"That added 600 to 700 parking spaces near the center of campus," Smith said, adding that during the weekend the parking area was not restricted to parents who wanted to park their cars there.

Jones added that the University could help parents more by providing names and numbers of people to contact ahead of time.

"I know we get lots of information beforehand," he said. "But if parents knew who to get a hold of, it would help."
