A few years ago, when students moved out for the summer from the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, Marlin D. Schneider pulled his Oldsmobile Cutlass station wagon onto a sidewalk near his daughter Molly’s dormitory. Cars, many of them parked illegally, jammed the campus. After lugging a heavy refrigerator and microwave down from his daughter’s room, Mr. Schneider returned to his car and groaned at the sight of a parking ticket. Unlike most parents, he had direct recourse: As a state representative from Wisconsin Rapids, he struck back with legislation.
