PARKING PROBLEM
TOUGH 10 SOLVE
SEATON STATES
Additional Assignments May
Be Made for Benefit of
Faculty Members.
SITUATION MAY CHANGE
Further Appropriation of
Ground for Purpose Is
Difficult.
W'brn interviewed regarding
tho present uvallnblo parking
space u or nrur the campus, U.
K. Seaton. operating superinten
dent for tlie University of Ne
braska voiced Ins opinion that due
to the fad that the university U
located so near to 1 lie center of
the rty, present cramped condi
lions villi be extremely hard to
lemedy.
Tho parking spate provided
along the south edge of the dull
field for the accommodation of
professors l.i an experiment which
authorities are trying in an at
tempt to provide space for the In
creasing number of cars being
driven to school each day. As yet
thin space Is pen to professors
and associate professors only.
As the space provided Is beldoin
if ever filled to capacity the de
partment Is contemplating the
prantlng of m-irc permits to park
there to assistant professors and
instructors who have applied for
permits. If this Is done it will
not only fill up the prcscut un
occupied spaces but will make
some vacant spnee in the btu";''
aud other places where cars uie
parked which may then be used
by students. This was the only
remedy for cramped parking con
ditions, which Mr. Scaton was able
to suggest which might be ef
fected in the near future, as plans
for the campus of the future pre
vent any radical changes.
Situation May Change.
Changes In the plan of the
campus which will affect the
parking situation are the elimina
tion of Twelfth street through the
campus; converting it into a walk,
and the creation of a mall through
the present drill field similar to
the one south of the Coliseum. As
these plans will not be executed
UDtil some future date the present
parkir.g question still remains un
solved. When queried as to possibilities
of providing further space ou some
such place on the campus as north
of the Coliseum, or permitting an
other row of cars to be parked
along the edge of the drill field.
Mr. Seaton said that all of such
space was in deimlnd for ol her
things. The athletic department,
wauls the .spare noith of the Coli
seum and the military department
can spare no more ground with
out bringing down its national
rating.
Angular parking on Twelfth
street in place of parallel parking
would be objectionuble in Mr. Sea
ton's opinion because of the dan
ger that would be. involved.

of the Barb council. The party will
also be the occasion of the election
of a next year's council.
Noise makers of the latest and
approved variety according to
Williams have been imported for
the event. The scheme of deco
rations will bring a modernistic

identity of lliis orchestra except
that the council assures good
music.
Election Early.
The Barb council election w ill be

voted to dancing and other enter
tainment.
Fourteen uew members of the
Barb council will bo elected at the
party Saturday night. Each of the
three underclasses arc entitled to
four on the council, two men and
two women. Two members of the
senior class will be elected to serve
next year as graduate members.
Faculty Supervision.
Regular university eligibility
rules will apply for all candidates.
They will be checked some lime
Thursday or Friday and only the
eligible persons will have their
names on the ballot. Presentation
of identifacation cards is all that
is necessary to vote but every ef
fort will be made to prevent cor
rupt practices according to Wil
liams. Faculty members will assist
members of the election commit
tee in conducting the balloting to
assure students that the affair will
be absolutely fair.

sent In by the various members ot
the institute. The drawings of the
third and fourth scries arc designs
for an elementary school, tri
umphal arch, tudor hall, memorial
museum, and a steel arch nridge.
The drawing of the arch bridge
was sunmitted in tne second an

The complete text of the an
nouncement follows:
To the Kditor:

quested to write the Superinten
dent of Trisons. Department of
Justice. NYashington, D. C.
Prison work has long repre
sented a career for college trained
men in Kuropeau countries. It
calls for intellectual and moral
qualities of a high order. It offers
opportunity for advancement to
positions which are better paid
than most college professorships.
There are numerous other impor
tant positions to which a man of
ability can rise with experience and
training.
It is the purpose of our present
training program to prepare men
for these positions as well ns for
that ot guard. An officers train
ing school has been established in
New York City. AH men enter
the service as guards and are sent
to the school for a four months'
course. Here they receive instruc
tion in such subjects ns the mental
find physical characteristics of the
criminal, the causes of crime, the
operation of probation and parole,
the development of modern nen-
olugy. etc. 1 h?v are also instructed
in tin- use of fireurms. boxing and
Japan.' c wrestling.
Have Actual Problems
The aim of the course is not only
to give officers a broad socialized
viewpoint on the theoretical
aspect..? of penology but also to pre
pare them for the actual problems
which they will encounter in prison
work. At the conclusion of the
training course officers arc as
signed to one of the federal peni
tentiaries at Atlanta, Leavenworth
and McNeil Island (near Tacoma,
Wash.), the Industrial Reforma
tory at Chillicothc, O., the Federal
Detention Headquarters in New
York City, or one of several prison
camps in various parts of the

Everyone Must He a Fool April I
Say Nebraskans as They Uphold
Tradition With Practical Jokes
SY THE RAG MAN.
In two or three years Ivy day
may be pushed up to April 1, so
that all disappointed lads will be
April fools instead of May mis
takes. Perphaps the Student coun
cil will hold an election on the first
of May, caling it the annual May
poll.
Certain integral untis or tne uni
versity enrollment succeeded in
slipping fast ones over yesterday
in honor of April Fools day. Judg
ing from the nature of their
pranks they were feeling in a col
lege humor. These alleged prac
tical jokes uphold the old tradition
that everyone must act like a fool
on April 1.
True Blue Lieu.
Some fraternities served cotton
doughnuts for breakfast, in lieu of
entertainment. That must have
been a true blue lieu, because it
provoked merriment. Unfortunate
ly, the upperclassmen who had
been eating fraternity house
doughnuts for two or three years
failed to detect any great differ
ence between the cotton sinkers
and the ordinary run of coffee
blotters.
One freshman answered the
phone yesterday morning and, to
his great surprise, he was in
formed that smoke was pouring
out of an upstairs room. He dashed
to his room, picked all of his room
mate's clothes off the floor and
hurried to throw them on the fire.
It was only an April fool joke,
however, so he sold them to the
old clothes man. April Fool.

Nebraskensis limelight, the Ne

a new slogan on April 1. In order
to reform his headlines and make
them less stereotype, he has posted
a regulation "No More Clashes.'"
This is another April fool. (Not the

Fake telephone calls by the fist
fulls were reported during the
April foolishness. Most campus
cakes, however, have always felt
that half the telephone calls coeds
received during lounge-sitting
dates were faked by their thought
ful sisters. It does make one ap
pear popular, maybe.
"Ye Gad, Flics!
Too bad, mourn some, that the
unofficial scandal shoot, "Fire and
Scored," did not appear on April
Fools day. Then. th?y argue, ev
eryone would kmw for cjrtain
that it was a joke; now they only
suspect it. The Nebraskan, in a
light Aprilish mood, organized a
new clan of Gadflies Initiatory
services are being postponed be
cause most of the pledges are in
elgible. They have plenty of fire,
but no swords.
One beautiful sentiment to re
member about this day, afjer all,
is that it stands as the day farth
est from an approaching April
Fools day. Wouldn't it be a clever
stunt if some employer paid all of
his workmen by cack and then
stopped payment as an April
prank? Employees, though say
that urh a procedure would be
fun or no fund.
