Parking at TCU is always a good way to start a conversation on campus with a complete stranger.Most people would agree: parking here sucks. It’s no secret.

But it’s time for the complaining community as a whole to get over it; nothing is going to change anytime soon.

The administration is too caught up in its revising of Main Campus to seriously consider what to do about where people can put their cars.

Students frequently toss around the idea of a parking garage as a possible way to ease their woes, but it’s doubtful the administration, with all the current construction, is going to invest several million dollars in an unsightly five-story mass of concrete and steel.

For the moment, students, faculty and staff must act quickly if they plan on parking here. Show no emotion and never be polite because it’s a war out there.

The entire TCU community is in it together though, unless a person has a reserved spot; however, even those are quickly disappearing.

In a Skiff article published Jan. 24, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills said many faculty members are choosing to park farther from campus instead of paying more for reserved spots.

TCU Police Chief Steve McGee also said there has been no loss of parking since construction began.

That may be true, but the fact that it’s still a headache to find a spot remains.

But just because people can’t immediately find spots or even find spots within three blocks of their classes shouldn’t warrant a diatribe against the TCU administration. It won’t kill to walk a little bit.

For the moment, keep a sharp eye and tough it out.
