A bike chained to a tree detracts from the beauty of the campus? It really doesn't. This is a college campus; bikes are something you should expect to see. If the university doesn't provide adequate racks, how is that the fault of the student? Should we take our bikes into our classrooms? Leave them out in the hallway attached to the water fountain? There have been on-going projects all over campus to conserve and recycle; now they are punishing students who do so. I would also like to point out that this year at Homecoming there were only half as many people tailgating (that weren't down on South Lawn.) Don't be surprised if it's one of the reasons ticket sales are down. There is a humor that some alumni have chosen to boycott going to the games since we aren't allowed to have our cars. Without the tailgate, it's just loitering. This is absolutely ridiculous. A bike chained to a tree detracts from the beauty of the campus? It really doesn’t.

Take your bike in to class with you. Tell them all the bike racks were full and you didn't want to get a ticket. The problem is some buildings are more popular than others and at different times fo the day. So between like 11-3 te bike racks will be busting at the seems in front of Mass Media, but all the other times there empty. It is just another thoughtless meaningless policy from a greedy, idiotic philsophy from this university. I think that is what you should do. Take your bike in to class with you.

I have a pair of bolt-cutters and I offer my services to anyone who's bike is locked up by the WKU Gestapo. Ridiculous, whomever authorized and implemented this policy ought to backhanded severely.
