Parking Space
Decreases Due
To Buildings
University officials report that
the campus parking problem has
been augmented considerably be
cause of the loss of approximately
250 parking spaces now being used
for Luikiing purposes.
However, unofficial reports also
state that University car registra
tion is down 20 ppr cent from
last year.
The new Student Helath Center
is being built on the parking area
located near temporary buildings

the Selleck Qnuadrangle as was the
case last year.
Officials believe that the parking
area near 17th and Vine will be
utilized much more than last year
because of the limited condklions
which exist.
All of the Ag campus parking
area has been retained. Also new
space around the tractor testing
field has been a . tted to Ag stu
dents. Plans call for an addition to the
Union in February which will
eliminate approximately 200 more
pnrking spaces.

Bargain

education at a bargain at the an
nual New Student Week convoca
tion. , Congratulating the new students
on surviving "quite a purge," Dr.
Hardin said, "Most of the school
mates you knew when you entered
the primary grades are no longer
attending school. About 41 per
cent of them had left your com
pany before you finished high
school.
"And at high school graduation
about 65 per cent of your remain
ing classmates said goodbye to
formal education. So when you de
cided to enroll here at the Uni
versity you joined the ranks of
the favored few."
"It is to you that local com
munities, the state and the nation
are looking for future leadership,
for new ideas, for first rate per
formance and, perhaps most of
all, for a willingness to accept re
sponsibility," Dr. Hardin concluded.

New Student
A week of confusion of convo
cations and tests and meetings
faced about 2,000 new Cornhusk
ers who started arriving on the
Univeristy campus Sunday.
But half way through the week
the latest additions to the Uni
versity family seemed to be sur
viving. In fact, Dr. Floyd Hoover,
director of registration and rec
ords for the University, said that
more students took initial steps to
ward registration on Monday and
Tuesday than ever before.
.,"We !omv.!!; h" abort k,
students start registering during
New Student . Week( This has been
dwarfed during the present New
Student week. About 200 came to
the office to register Monday and
more were there Tuesday," Hoo
ver said.
"Final registration figures won't
be ready until next Tuesday. That's
standard operating procedure. But
you can be sure they will be up."
he added.
"Of course, this doesn't include
those who began their registra
tions through their high schools last
spring. All in all I suppose we'll
have about 2,000 new freshmen.,"
he concluded.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin ad
dressed the freshmen at the Col
iseum Monday night after a day
of pre-registration testing. Men's
and women's meetings were he-Id
during the day and physical ex
aminations were begun.
Tuesday, more tests and physi
cal examinations crowded fresh
men schedules. New Student tours
of the campus made the buildings
a little less difficult to find and
the day's activities were topped off
