She said that a student can't have his cake and eat it, too. Even visiting faculty, she says, have to change their documents. He's lucky, she says, to be attending as a resident on the loophole that his father is a resident and supporting him; therefore, if he brings a car into the state (or buys a car in the state), he should be willing to conform with state law and get the driver's license and registration within the 60 days allowed. She said, after talking with the second student mentioned, that he might be able to negotiate away the penalty and also agree to park the car until the end of the school year when he'd return to Alaska with it. Whatever...coulda fooled me! But perhaps that's only one interpretation. Joe St.Hilaire Western On Mon, 11 May 1998, Tika Esler wrote: > I agree with you, Joe, regarding the residency law.
