First of all a practical question: the Marta passes we got expire on 
August 6, but I do not think we can go ahead and park on campus on August 7,
can we ? How about that ?

As for the Stinger, I am not in favor of mandatory fees. We are talking about
college students, not 90 years old folks with walking disabilities. 
How about walking and/or biking across campus, getting rid of 
Stingers along with their fees and, on the side, may be also shedding those 
unwanted/unhealthy extra pounds ? It is not a 26 miles marathon,
you know ... If you take the tunnel under the highway, you can get from
North Avenue Marta to the Student Center in 15 minutes. -or less-

And for those students who actually have disabilities, there should be a 
stingerette-like service 24 hours a day -and I wouldn't mind paying a fee
for that-.

Regards,

Paolo Bellomo
