Next semester, window decals are slated to replace rearview mirror hangtag parking permits.

"This decision was made for security reasons," said Robert Crew, Executive Assistant to the President. "This will prevent students from taking the permits off and giving them to friends to access the campus at night."

The stickers must be attached to the outside of the window in the upper right passenger side corner of the front windshield of vehicles parking on campus.

"The decision was made by myself, the police department and the traffic committee," Crew said. "The procedure for obtaining the new parking permits will be the same as in the past years and there will be no difference in cost."

"The stickers have reflectors on the front and that will make it much easier for the police to identify vehicles at night entering the Caspari Street entrance," said Detective Doug Prescott of NSU Police.

Some students are indifferent about the change.

"It doesn't make any difference to me with tags or stickers, really," said Alexis Jackson, a senior business administration major.

Other students are in favor of the idea.

"The stickers might be better because the tag always seems to fall off or tear at the handle; I just hope the sticker doesn't leave a sticky residue on my windshield," said Keiwania Irving, a senior nursing major.
