Recent sightings: Move-out night

Senior Matt Rossman reads a comic book while hanging out in his vehicle — packed with his belongings — in Lot 91 near the Kohl Center on Aug. 14, 2009.

Rossman was one of many UW–Madison students temporarily without lodgings during the annual Aug. 14-15 transition when some private-apartment leases expire and new leases go into effect.

In response to this move-out challenge, a new Associated Students of Madison-sponsored initiative offered students free, security-patrolled parking in university lots 7, 84 and 91, plus overnight access to and activities at the Student Activities Center in the Student Services Tower at 333 East Campus Mall.
