THE PARKING PROBLEM
QK ALL the worries that beset Nebraska students,
the parking problem for more thsn 1,200 of
them I a major annoyance. Since the popular ad
vent of the automobile on the local campus, park
ing has presented a new difficulty which, up to this
time. hn not been met successfully.
There Is little need to review the situation as it
nw exists. Any student interested In parkins
knows what it is. He realizes first that there is far
from enough parking space. He Is also cognizant
of the tact that he must park three and four bl.ick
aay from his classroom.
Statistics compiled last semester by the univer
sity reveal that 1,254 undergraduate students drive
cars to school. On the avenues Immediately bound
ing the campus there is room for no mors than
seven or right hundred. These figures tell the story
of the scarcity of parking space tell a story that
needs no explanation.
Many students do not need to drive their cars to
school. Many would do much better to walk five
or six blocks from their domain to the campus.
The array of motors, ranging from limousines to
collegiate wrecks, that migrates dally from North
Sixteenth street and environs, gets only a block or
two nearer the campus.
Regardless of the wisdom or lack of it shown by
these people, there Is no way of preventing them
from driving to school If they choose to do so. And
so the student coming In from outlying parts of the
city often finds all spaces near his classroom taken.
He must drive around several minutes before find
ing a place perhaps three or four blocks distant.
-po BETTER this condition. The Nebraskan has
two proposals which would provide space for ap
proximately 200 more automobiles with little expense
to the university and with no impairment of salety.
1. The parking space for faculty cars just
north of Social Sciences, never more than half
full, should be doubled by permitting two rows
of cars to park along this driveway. Space
actually used by faculty members should be
reserved for them, but no more.
2. Parking along the east side of Twelfth
street from R to the end of the paving should be
at a 45 degree angle instead of parallel with
the curbing.
There is no reason why the drive to the faculty
parking area could not be widened slightly and
parking space be provided on the north side of the
drive as well as on the south side. Even a part of
the south side, now in use by the faculty, could be
turned over to the students. At no time during the
past week has this been much more than half full.
The provision for approximately eighty cars on one
side could be reduced to sixty so that students could
have one end of this and the entire north side.
This bites another piece off the already depleted
drill field. But still the drill area is large enough
for company or platoon meneuvers. On parade and
review days this space could be shut off with little
difficulty. The cost of cindering another strip of
ground along the present graveled driveway would
be of small consequence.
TJNTIL about a year ago, parking at a 45 degree
angle prevailed on R street and Twelfth street.
This was unsafe on such narrow thoroughfares be
sides adding to the congestion. Twelfth street,
slightly wider than R street, is not open to general
traffic, however. Only students use it. Angle park
ing on one side would not make the situation any
more unsafe than it is today. There would be little
more congestion than now at the noon rush.
The parking problem has grown Into considera
ble importance at the university. The fact that
nearly one out of every four students drives a car
evidences this truth. Relative to education proper
and the Importance of study, parking is of little sig
nificance. But it is a problem that should be rem
edied for the convenience of a busy student body.
TALKIE PROFESSORS.
AT A local theater last week, a class from the uni
versity heard and saw a talkie dealing with oil
production. The picture showed scenes from the oil
fields and from chemical and geoglogical labora
tories. As they were being screened, the talkie at
tachment relayed the explanation of the film by a
noted professor.
With the Increasing popularisation of the talkie,
what will be the situation a decade, or even five
years hence? Will the talkie professor combined
with visual education supplant the classroom In
structor ?
Certainly the value of the talkie films cannot be
underestimated. They are sure to become a great
aid to education from the grammar grades through
the university. They will add materially to the al
ready Important part played by visual education.
They will make possible analysis of phenomena
which often remain hazy In the student mind after
showing of a regular movie.
But talkies will never deprive professors of their
jobs. The personality factor plays too dominant a
role In university education. Rather should the uni
versity consider ways of Increasing the contact
professsors make with their students instead of pro
moting schemes that remove them farther.
Many professors, sorry to relate, contribute no
more perhaps considerably less than would be
derived If their lectures were recorded and delivered
from time to a la talkie.' But there are countless
others whose interests In the Individual student and
the problems each of them moot make them Invalu
able from the stud id point of view.
Inatiuiloia would do well to take an inventory
of themnelvea periodically and connldai, among
other things, If they are mere Ulkles of education
or If they ate contributing something mor some
thing of their personality that Is a distinct and di
rect aid to the st.ident enrolled In Ihelr course.
Nebraska does not want talkie professors. It
wants live ones, Intellectually keen and mentally
alive to the divergent problems that come before the
Individual students In their classes. It wants pro
fessors who will take a personal Interest la these
students. It also wants students who are willing ii
endeavor to grasp what th professors have ti
offer and who are willing to make a personal con
tact with them that their knowledge may le "
panded. that their lives may b further enriched.
FINE FEATHERS VS. FINE BIRDIES.
IOWA university chanter of Surma Delta I'hl,
honorary women' forensic sorority, Is conducting
an Intersororlty debating contest, Ftleven groups
are contenting. Thi subject to b debated Is: Re
solved that the women' panhellenlo association of
the University of Iowa should adopt a rule requiring
that every candidate for admission to a sorority
have a grade average of 2.25 (approximately 78)
for the semester preceding Initiation.
The sponsors of the contest could have selected
a much more significant subject to discus. Their
subject I one which rny be a very pertinent one
now but It la of only passing Importance. Th Iowa
sorority Is to be commended, however, for making a
start In this kind of competition.
University women should have some Interests lo
college aside from their regular school work and
social activities. As future leaders In their commu
nities they should be contemplating and discussing
some of the problems they will have to meet. The Unl-
versity League of Women Voters and the Vespers
group are among Nebraska organisations doing ex
cellent work along these lines.
Too many cieds merely exist from one week end
to another. Parties, picture shows, fine clothes and
dates are the only topica tney can discuss with any
degree of enthusiasm. Anything of deeper meaning
and significance is boring and Is dismissed with a
meaningless shrug of their shoulders.
They cannot afford the time to hear a noted con
vocation lecturer because It would detract consider
ably from the time they have allotted to " caking."
In addition, the lecturer la probably talking on edu
cation, the defects of our social system or some
other similar subject which Interests them not In
the least.
Of course, the same indictment may be made
against a veiy large percentage of men students.
They make a better pretense, hypocritical though it
may sometimes be, of considering some of the
higher values of life.
There are no elections for the general student
body to be concerned with for a month and a half.
It's about time to pick another representative coed
for Miss Nebraska, Miss University or Miss Apprehension.
You can tell spring is here because the wails
and blasts from the school of music are much
louder now that the open-window season has begun.
Absence makes the marks grow rounder.
The Student Pulse
Signed contribution pertinent to matter of atuoant
Ufa and the university are welcomed by this depart
ment. Opinion ubmlttd hould bo brief and eoneiee.
ELECTION A LA SOCIAL SCIENCES
To the editor:
As if the corridor in Social Sciences were not
ordinarily a sufficiently hectic place between clssses,
the coeds have deemed it necessary to further aaa
to the activities of the place by holding their nu
merous elections there.
On gala days the women haul out a table in the
corridor and proceed to elect a May Queen, Mortar
Boards, V. W. C. A. officers, A. W. S. board heads.
a suierintendent for the home of sick monkeys in
Alaska, and heaven knows what not.
While passing to and fro from their classes the
coeds hurriedly scribble someone's name on a piece
fit nanpr and stuff it into the box provided for the
purpose. The argument is orierea uuu me gina ;
would not take time off to go to the Temple or luien
Smith hall to cast their ballots, but is the ballot
some hastily marked amid such a scramble worth a
great deal? Do the girls stop to think about why
they are voting and who they are voting for?
Could not such elections be removed to some
other place without causing any great amount of
inconvenience and making it much easier for the
entire student body to make it way through the
hallway to its classes? Perhaps when the fairer
sex gets a firmer grasp on politics our state and
national elections will be held down on Miller &
Paine's corner and on other busy thoroughfares.

AWOWAN REMINISCENCES.
Nebraska wants Its Awgwan back. This off
spring of collegiate wit and humor is as much a
part of our great institution as anything that we
might now mention as being representative. It af
fords a sadly neglected medium for ambitious and
talented undergraduates to express themselves in
our most popular and modernistic mode the college
slang.
Granting for tne moment the alleged "soot" of
past Issues, E. D. T. points out a very conspicuous
truth when she said, "The worst ones were from
other reputable college magazines." Is our "lil' old
college" so much worse than any of the others?
Of course we cau't neglect the talent of Nebraska.
We could manufacture just a much "soot" as could
any other group of collegiate comic writers, but why
should we?
Nebiaska needs its Awgwan again. We recog
nize two different and distinct fields of journalism.
The newspaper and the magazine. The school of
journalism teaches both yet at the present the latter
Is sadly neglected. The Dally Nebraskan has for
many years proved to be a commendable laboratory
for actual field work in one side o fthe profession of
Journalism but how about the other lide?
Glancing through other college comica we can
find sections devoted to poetry (both verse and
worse) to the arts, literature, books, the drama, and
many other subjects of similar nature. However,
sprinkled here and there, quit extensively, are the
parts that contribute to Its apparent existence, the
wit and humor.
We hear the question, "What do college people
read?" Darned If I know. But I do know that
anything that directly affects us la more interesting
than something which does not Things college peo
ple write about college people is a good example.
Recognizing the above experiment, Isn't good wit
and humor good art? I. C. D.

Eighty-five per cent of the world's tele
phones can be reached from any telephone
of the Bell System. This includes those of
Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and by the new
radio-telephone link spanning the Atlantic
most of the countries of Europe.
Already many American business men are
using this service to expedite the transac
tion of foreign business and are finding it
quick, convenient and profitable.
The future possibility of talking directly
with almost anyone in the world who has
access to a telephone is enough to stimulate
any man's thinking not only from an
engineering standpoint, but because of its
significance to American industry.
