I'm not the only who notices the Parking Enforcer
Someone else noticed the Shoreline Parking Nazi (SPN) and his crazy molestache. He goes around campus writing tons of tickets. I have a lot of experience waiting around in the Shoreline visitors lot, and last year I saw them cruising for violators maybe three or four times. But you can see the SPN do this three or four times an hour!
Also, Shoreline security used to drive nice Ford Tauruses (Taurii?) but this year they've acquired a Ford Explorer, which is the vehicle of choice for SPN. I'm not sure why they need a gas-guzzling SUV for the purposes of driving up and down parking lots. I suspect he insisted upon it to increase his perception of manliness. He can't very well be driving a Prius, can he?
Interesting tidbit. Apparently the city of Shoreline wasn't too happy about Shoreline charging for parking in one of it's gravel lots, which is located on city property. So they built an amphitheather, baseball field, and other goodies in the park next door, as a way of helping settle the dispute. But hey, it turns out students are still stuck with a crummy gravel lot.
