WORK ON ANDREWS
HALL PROGRESSES
Workmen StrWe to Complete Large
Number of Rooms by End of
Current Week
Working under the protection of a
completed roof, plasterers have been

nearly a third of the room walls.
With the exception of a few rooms
on the first floor where plumbing
fixtures are being installed and the
final coat of plaster has been spread
on.
The long corridor on the first floor
has been completely plastered. It
stretches the full length of the build

is vaulted, and with the white sand
finish plaster brightens up the entire
lower floor. Rooms on the first
floor have received the third and last
coat of plaster. The battleship lino

On the second floor the majority
of the rooms have received at least
one coat of plaster and a section of
the long corridor at the east end of
the building has been completed. The
third floor is not ready as yet, for
workmen are just now putting the
metal tath on the walls. The roof
was completed last Wednesday and
since then carpenters have put in the
partition walls on that floor.

OPPOSITION TO
RULE INCREASES
Parallel Parking System Draws
Adverse Comment from
Many Students
TRAFFIC BECOMES HEAVY
In the last few days increased op
position to the system of parallel
parking on' R and Sixteenth streets
has been indicated among the stu
dents of the University. The traffic
has been heavier than usual with the
coming of warm weather.
According to Allan C. Macintosh,
editor of the Awgwan, the heavy
truck traffic through the main street
of the university tends to bring a
commercial atmosphere to the school.
The atmosphere of scholarship is
greatly interfered with. Macintosh
says that most of the larger schools
in the east have their campus set of
from the business district, but since
this has not been done at Nebraska
the city council might well reconsid
er there action which brings commer
cialism to the university.
Lee Vance says, "There is not
enough room for all the students to
park there cars, not only in front of
the fraternity houses, but also at
