PARKING AT UD
Parking tickets anyone? Recently, several tickets have been issued to
those individuals parking in the "red" lot in front of the Blue Arena or
the "gold" lot on the side and rear of the Blue Arena. University of
Delaware rules state that anyone parking in a designated campus parking
lot (gold, red or blue) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p. m.,
without a parking sticker or visitor pass, WILL BE TICKETED.
Visitor passes can be picked up at the Information Desk in the Blue Arena or a parking permit for the "red" lot can be purchased, for approximately $60.00, at the Department of Public Safety, 79 Amstel Avenue, Newark, DE (302) 831-1184.
COMPETITION FORMS
Due to the large demand, and forms taken needlessly resulting in lots of
waste, the Ice Arena Office is now charging $.50 for each form
requested. Forms can be purchased at the Information Desk in the Blue
Arena.
