I. One policy/issue on campus that I believe needs reforming is the notorious parking issue, which has been an object of students' woes for years. Paying for a seasonal parking pass to park near the Colliseum is very inefficient; parking spaces are rarely available past 9 am and the lot is pretty far from USC campus. In order to make it to class, students must take the bus to the Horseshoe (or other stops), and then proceed to walk to class. I think a policy that can be reformed is limiting the amount of parking passes that are issued so the lot will always have enough parking spaces for a certain amount of students. For others, I believe it is important that the School invest in more space for student parking. As a commuter, parking can be an extremely frustrating task and can actually hinder my ability to make it to class. It is very expensive to park in the Discovery Garage (or other garages), especially considering a student's budget.
II. Perspectives for my exploratory paper:
1. A participant and active sympathizer of the Occupy Movement
2. A sympathizing citizen; non participant
3. A critic of the protest; often Government Official or concerned citizen
4. A citizen that is negatively impacted by the protests
The dominant perspective in the current state of things is probably the participant and active sympathizer of the Occupy movement. This is particularly so because the movement has gained widespread popularity in the recent months, and there are many famous figures that also support the movement. Although there is an increasing number of critics of the protests, it seems that youth are often attracted to the Occupy message. I agree with critical view of the protests, and believe that they will eventually prevail over other views.
