I can't understand that.  If you preregistered it should have been in the 
envelope you got in the mail.  Mine was.  Weird.

For those who will have vehicles at the Conference,

I called the KU Dept Linguistics, in as much as 2 days before the first 
session, my parking permit has not arrived.  They gave me some nebulous 
logic as to why they did not issue them via mail in lieu of picking them up 
when we register on the 5th floor of the Student Union.

So then, I said, that would entail us parking in the stacked parking area to 
the north of the Student Union, putting in money to their collection box en 
route to the trek to the  5th floor, signing in, and returning outside to 
the parking area to place the permit on the vehicle.

That was affirmed and, It was warmly explained to me that the Campus PD are 
not likely to be out "earlier" to ticket vehicles that have not paid their 
parking tribute.  I shared that it seemed a lot of unnecessary trotting up 
and down and around for this process.  ["earlier"  was left undefined].

This was followed by some inane explanation for the process being as it is.
So there you have it.  Park and Pay or Park and race to the 5th floor for 
registration, permit and beat it back before the KU ticket person find your 
parking spot is unpaid for a a KU fine.
