On-campus parking will be mostly restricted to current permit holders for three nights between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. at the end of this month. Beginning on Friday evening, Oct. 29, and ending Monday morning, Nov. 1, the automatic ticket dispensers will be temporarily out of service in order to limit outsider parking at UCSB, announced Donna Carpenter, acting vice chancellor, administrative services.

However, graduate and undergraduate students living in Isla Vista who wish to park on campus may apply on line for special, free Halloween permits to use campus space (and security) for these nights. To register for the Halloween parking permits, go to Transportation and Parking Services (T&PS) Web site <www.tps.ucsb.edu/Halloween.html>.

The Halloween permits will be distributed to registered applicants at the UCen courtyard between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the week of Oct. 25-29.

The restrictions are designed to deny outside visitors easy access to I.V. parties from campus parking spaces. “Halloween…should be a local event,” wrote Carpenter in her memo to the campus community.

As for the people who drive to campus the night of Oct. 29 to see and hear The Jazz Passengers provide music and dialog for “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” Arts & Lectures advises that T&PS will have assistants on hand to sell parking permits. If a permit has been purchased in advance, date it and display it on the dashboard. Attendants will also service day events, such as the Music Department’s University Artists Series at 3 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Any vehicles found without permits during the above dates will be ticketed and towed, campus officials warned.
