stand to help improve and enrich the culture of North Carolina State
University, starting with North Carolina State University home football games;
and,

student tickets per home football games; and,
WHEREAS, available parking spaces have been drastically
decreased in number for students; and,
WHEREAS, the number of parking permits issued to
students will fluctuate for each home game based upon events scheduled at the
North Carolina State Fairgrounds; and,

driving to the home football games; and,

RESOLVED, that
