The southern Illinois Institute in Carbondale has forgiven $ 7,000 Parking tickets in exchange for peanut butter donations.

One-day trip for food in November. 9 gave parking scofflaws a chance to cancel the quote, up to $ 35 per person, with a donation of at least 2 cans of 16 ounces of peanut butter.

In a joint difficulty, the SIU Department of social security collected 519 cans of peanut butter, which actually led to a reduction in Parking fines by $ 7,000, according to Lori Stettler, Vice Chancellor for student Affairs.

Workers will provide donated banks to Saluki's food pantry on Thursday, Stettler said.

The food pantry, located at the lower level of the student center, " provides food support to students when needed, helping them stay in school and achieve their own educational goals,” his website explains.

Parking on land of the campus with no real pass SIU, or Parking in unauthorized Parking will give you a quote in the amount of 35 $ USA for the criteria of the Parking lot. Every car, for which 3 unpaid fines are charged, is subject to immobilization, more familiar as a"trunk".”
