As Halloween approaches, one haunting thought rests on the minds of most students: Will I be able to find on-campus parking tomorrow? For many fearful attendees of the Humpty-Diddle Airplane School, the answer will be a resounding 'NO.' The school, which in recent years has increased the number of on-campus housing and incoming freshmen class size, has failed to combat the lack of parking spots available to commuters. But that’s all about to change.
money from flight students, they’ll realize we are serious about the parking issue.”
“The parking issue is not that serious.” Humpty-Diddle president Scary Butter replied when The Avioff asked about his concerns regarding the protests. "Students need to be patient and wait for spots to open up. The students don't know what they want. We in the administration have to focus on what students want: More planes and on-campus housing.”
Frustrations with the school have only risen in the past few months, as announcements about a Phase The Special Club for Aviation sTudents 3 Residence Hall (dubbed “New new new Res (S.C.A.T.) has organized a public, non-violent students) construction project were protest this coming Friday, Nov. 1, that is sure to res res” by accommodation for an even get the administration's attention.

off-campus parking lot that is said to increase the number of spots by 200, but this is not enough for S.C.A.T.
“Just build a parking garage.” Says three-year club member Ben Dover. “It’ll solve the parking situation without hindering outside areas. Even a two or three-story garage will provide exponential amounts of parking spots. At least more so than a 200 spot lot that isn’t even on campus.” Not to mention, the additional 200 slots will come with a cost for students in the form of parking pass price increases. Last year, the price of parking went up by roughly $40, and by next year, estimates say that to cover the cost of construction, it will almost double: from $120 to $250 per pass. Additionally, the passes will now only last for one semester and must be renewed every term. If all goes well, the Parking Protest might be able to sway some minds in the administration about how to handle the parking fiasco. And if not, then S.C.A.T. members say they'll have to take things to the next level. By: Sir Grammar Nazi

Innovation That Excites 3
The Innovative Finger-Propulsion
Name: Twinkie Position: Baseball Catcher This past week, Humpty-Diddle showcased its new 420-horsepower Tessna 169 Flyhawk for the first time. On the day of the event, P-Team knocked down the doors of the Better-ThanAverage-But-Still-Bad Residence Hall, demanding for the students inside to view the takeoff. Those who refused found themselves being carried out by disgruntled P-Team members, who wore smiles that were faker than a sorority girl. The underclassmen involved complained about the harassment they faced by the P-Team, as well as the bruises they received, to
which Humpty-Diddle representatives replied, “oooooh, ahhhhh,” after being distracted by an airplane.
The creation of the 169 Flyhawk is a monumental accomplishment in the aviation world. The plane is the first to specialize in finger-propulsion, a new technique developed by Humpty-Diddle, where a pair of fingers provides enough thrust to exceed the drag of a plane, as opposed to the utilization of propeller or a propulsive nozzle. Because of this, finger-propulsion is an environmentally beneficial form of propulsion, which produces little to no exhaust and contributes almost nothing to
the depletion of the ozone layer. V.S.C.O. Girls are a big proponent of finger-propulsion because they think it’s a sound way to save the turtles. Whether this is true or not is unknown, but nobody cares enough to find out. The takeoff amassed a crowd of maybe thirteen people, five of whom were students facing extreme sleep-deprivation because they didn’t realize how long their engineering homework would take. All were excited—or pretended to be on their social media—to witness the historic takeoff. S.W.A.G. items that looked like they were made by a
ten-year-old were being sold to commemorate the event, although few profits were made because Humpty-Diddle charges students for standing, sitting, and even breathing. The takeoff was quite the spectacle, with the 169 Flyhawk bursting into the sky with the assistance of its patented finger-propulsion, before crashing down after approximately one minute. Despite the failure of the 169 Flyhawk, Humpty-Diddle has labeled it as a “moderate success” and is projecting for all planes to utilize finger-propulsion by 2023.
